I Think All Lives Matter

ALM All Lives Matter is important! Why is everyone making this a race war?! We just came through a pandemic and now this is going to tear us apart?!! All Lives Matter!!! What happened was bullshit and those guys have and deserve what’s going to happen to them. What I don’t agree with is the rioting. NOT PROTESTING rioting is where you burn and loot. That has to stop! But you have a right as an American to protest! It’s constitutional! Just don’t burn shit unless it’s the officers who were involved!! ALM

Hi Bruh. Look, this is a politically charged time and the slogans do not mean what they say. This is what PPL mean when you say each slogan.

When certain people hear “ALM” they think you mean ‘Black people and their lives do not need any special treatment and have not been overtly targeted by flawed institutions’

When certain people Hear “BLM: they think you mean ‘Black people and their lives DO need special treatment and attention during this difficult time. And that you stand with those who want to change the flawed institutions that affect people of color’

If you stand by the verbatim of ALM, you are Arguably more in line with the BLM movement.

Just something to consider.

@Gamalon my point is I don’t don’t care about skin color. We all bleed same shit! Same color! Our bodies do same thing! Eat drink poop and reproduce lol. Putting focus on skin color helps the racist be able to defend themselves ALM shows equality in all ethnicity and damn the man so to speak!

@SW-User But if you want to address systemic racism, at some point don't you have to call it?

Saying all lives matter when black people are being killed in disproportionate numbers is like saying your broken window matters as much as the house next door burning down.

@basilfawlty89 I can admit there is racism but why does the protest and stuff have to be race related? That is racism that is the opposite of everything naacp fought for! The slogan should be that everyone matters! By saying black lives matter or white power is where racism comes from!

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M

@SW-User no it's not, it's reminding people black lives matter too, that black people are people too. I has no relation to white power.

Using your logic, Rosa Parks was "racist" for protesting that she had to sit at the back of the bus for being black.

@basilfawlty89 wrong ! They protested their right to vote and eat at same place white people ate im saying now during/after pandemic this is only raising racism!

It's very telling that America has spent 400 years fighting a race war, then complains when the opposition fights back.

@CheshireCatalyst Anti discrimination legislation
Welfare
School programmes
Allocated places at university
Quotas

They've been doing a fucked up job of conducting a war

What exactly do you want?

And how is destroying black neighbourhoods and stealing stuff 'fighting back' exactly?
