Sigh.

Black lives matter was born out of the belief their lives didn't matter to the police (rightly or wrongly).

Saying all lives matter, in and of itself, is not a problem, but the context matters. If you say it almost as to correct someone, it's tone deaf. If you say it sympathetically, as in, yes, black lives should matter just as all lives should matter, it's fine.


All black lives don't even matter to all blacks (or to all white leftists). Until that changes nothing will. Saying Blacks Lives Matter and protesting when a black criminal is killed by a white cop while ignoring black on Black killings and ignoring disproportionate black perpetrators of murder and violence in general is what is really tone death.

Until then cops can abuse their authority at will. Got it. No calls for justice until black crime goes below a number dallastiger deems appropriate.

My wife commented on our mixed Niece’s post( I know ‘ dear Facebook’) All lives matter’.


Why did she feel the need to comment that in the first place?

you know damn well I have NOT played up to any of the hero worship from COVID

Although I wouldn’t mind the extra $10/hr pay all staff are getting now that work on COVID units (I’m talking all staff...nurses, unit secretaries, assistants, etc).

The problem is basically context... of course All Lives Matter... that’s deflecting and people doing it on purpose... any person with common sense know what capacity people saying Black Lives Matter mean...

If you think that's what they are saying when they say "Black Lives Matter" then you aren't paying attention.

o me, that just communicates insecurity and lack of empathy. Kind of a weak move, tbh.


And she did that on a FAMILY members post no less


Serious cringe there.

I don’t know It was in a conversation post. She really didn’t mean it derogatory. Then she said well I don’t see color , I just see my beautiful niece. Well some other black women on the post said “ see that’s what a racist would say” I really didn’t get that either just told my wife not to comment anymore. I told her every knows You have a good heart. The more she tried to apologize the worst it got. Like I said in earlier post she is the sweetest person I know and would give a complete stranger her last dime , it really hurt her feelings.

Well, black lives matter needs to correctly identify which black lives matters. The weekly Chicago death toll pretty much destroys the entire BLM narrative.
