I think it should be "all lives matter"

Why make a racial distinction at all

@Tracos that's fair and true

@Tracos but then we wouldnt be talking about the violence between the cops and the black community

@VioletDreams exactly... We would be talking about violence between cops and community in general

@Tracos but then thats getting off topic on the problem with racism.

@Emosaur all lives matter but tell me whats the crisis with all lives? Is your life compromised? So tell me why i need to stop to acknowledge your life thats going perfectly fine?

Exactly... The problem with racism is that it reinforces itself...

By underlining that everyone is part of the same society emphasized that civil servants serve all civilians.

Ethnicity, gender, religion... It has to be irrelevant in that discussion...

Identifying by irrelevant characteristics makes them relevant... And in this discussion they shouldn't be...

All lives matter!

I dont agree with your philosphy. If the discussion never started then you wouldnt be aware of the issue. Its a cry for help and yet i see people just rolling their eyes at the situation.

@VioletDreams I don't know if people are rolling their eyes... I'm definitely not rolling mine

@Emosaur yea you're right and every injustice or struggle has their own movement. To say ALL lives matter because All people struggle is too broad. But if we start to dissect All lives matter, then we can maybe tackle one issue at a time. All lives matter is like throwing All the problems in one basket. It just noise and doesnt pinpoint any issue in particular.
