I Think All Lives Matter

Ok I hate people tagging all lives matter when people say black lives matter. Because not all lives are in danger of being hurt by the police just because their skin is a different colour. I can garentee that it is white people saying all lives matter and to them I say stop making this about you. Black lives matter

Sorry not sorry to say that ALL lives matter. It ain't just for black people and it doesn't mean it, or me, is selfish, either. And elderly man got pushed down and was bleeding from ears because he fell down head first backwards. He's fighting for his life right now. Not to mention that he was white.

Anyone who says all live matter and can't support Black Lives Matter is either racist a hypocrite or totally ignorant about what's going on.

the fact is that NOT all lives matter. If all lives mattered, there wouldn't be the death penalty, there wouldn't be wars, and we wouldn't have Presidents who sought out terrorists, despots and dictators for execution by elite special forces or guided missiles. Instead of trying to hijack the Black Lives Matter mantra... how about we all live by the one that we started with... "With Liberty and Justice for all".
Because obviously some people weren’t getting certain liberties. @Wubaloo

I agree that "All lives matter" is a ridiculous response to "black lives matter". It would be like saying "everyone dies" to someone who has just told you that their child has just died.
All lives do matter technically but yes black lives matter belongs to them. I share your view. @SW-User
The hypocrisy is that blacks say BLM........as long as it's police connected. And yet by FBI/State Highway Patrol/Local Police stats........that even the NAACP does not argue with.........97.4% of all blacks killed are killed by other blacks.

That means out of every 100 black murders......over 97 of those black people who died were killed by another black person....and yet the black community NEVER protests that kind of violence in their own neighborhoods. In fact it's "racists" if anyone else reports on it or even mentions it.

There's a 100% chance as you sit there reading this post right now you're just dying to call this post racists because it asked an inconvenient embarrassing question about which black lives matter and which ones don't??

So again........if the black community truly believes that "ALL" Black Lives Matter----why is there NEVER any protest whatsoever when the 97+ plus black community members are killed by other blacks. Does just the lives taken by a cop during the commission of a crime or while resisting arrest matter.............but to hell with the other 97 out of 100???

The Black Community does not like it when all others say ALL LIVES MATTER.....but the real question should be......why do you never say ALL OF THEM MATTER when the 97 die??

When you say stop making this about you. Isn’t that with the black people are doing? Making it about them? Let them have their time to protest. This particular incident at their community hard. And I respect that. But don’t lose sight of the larger picture. Police police brutality affects everybody. Also, as a society we need to stop dwelling on the Negatives so much, Not that they don’t matter, but it is very important to point out that police brutality overall has been on the decline for many many years. We are making progress for all lives. There will always be some bad apples. Not just in the police business. People kill each other everywhere. It almost stopped. But the reality of it is, it will never stop completely. I just hope our country doesn’t come completely unglued and fall apart every time something bad happens. We need to learn to take action without destroying ourselves. We need to take action without leaving out other ethnic groups. Hispanic lives don’t matter? Sure they do. All lives matter and let’s not ever lose sight of what these protests are really about. For about police brutality. If we ever want to stop being racist as a society, then we need to stop including Race in our judgments.
Black lives matter is an organization to promote equality for Black people. Its a similar concept to that of the feminist movement. @bert199

I’m sorry to say this is untrue. Statistics were released recently showing please brutality is down significantly in the Black community. Please brutality extends across every race. You just don’t hear it in the news because it’s not as provocative. Remember, making money in the news business is all about ratings and click bait. Don’t fall in the trap.

@bert199 Actually the statistics still show that police brutality is much higher among black people than white, and even higher among younger black people. Whether it's gone down doesn't mean it's not still a problem.

There are other quality studies on unequal treatment in courts, prison sentencing, health care...

@bert199 what is "please brutality" and where do you get those statistics from?
Jake966 · 56-60, M
Tell that to the blacks who kill blacks
I’m not following a crowd. Don’t go there. @Jake966

Actually you are wrong white people actually get targeted by cops as well I got pulled over one night coming home from work and the cop accused me of being a drug runner just because I have tattoos held me for a good 15 minutes while they ran my info through the system to see if I had a criminal record and searched my car without even having cause

All the racists will crawl out from under their rocks to respond. They just can't handle it. It rankles.

It's not complicated. An 8 year old can understand it. Yet you can explain it all you like, but deep down in their dark hearts they will feel annoyed, and they'll come up with some stupid same old response because they lack the self-honesty to see themselves for what they are.

typical american respons.. when get attacked they will use blablabla like anywhere else, blablabla like anyone else, they always give broad answer. So it's not surprising when black lives matter answered by broader respons like 'all lives' matter

@YukikoAmagi Typical response from SOME Americans. Otherwise you are incorrectly stereotyping Americans.
