Can anyone tell me why

Painting BLM isn't considered vandalism, but it's considered a hate crime for someone to paint over it? I honestly don't understand this. To me it's considered a hate crime to have BLM on a street I have to see everyday. And vandalizing statues seam to be overlooked.

Because black lives do matter and society needs to get that?

@Rose0415 I've talked to a lot of white people since the whole BLM upheaval and they''ve all basically told me that they weren't racist before this. But now they are.
@melissa001 Trust me, if they’re racist now, they always were.
@melissa001 They were always racist. Now they just realise it.

@LeopoldBloom not true
@melissa001 It is true; nobody can make you a racist simply by asking not to be killed unless you’re already one.

@bijouxbroussard Blacks kill blacks more than whites kill blacks.

@bijouxbroussard I don't know where you find the patience for this.
@melissa001 The difference is, when that happens, they go to [b]jail[/b]. When police officers kill blacks (because [b]that’s[/b] what the issue is, so don’t get confused) they needn’t be armed or even in the process of committing a crime, and there’s been no recourse for their families. So if even the discussion can make a white person decide they hate [b]all[/b] Black people—[b]they[/b] already felt that way.
Now they simply have an excuse to admit it.
@Harmonium1923 Lol. 🤗
@melissa001 And whites kill more whites than Black people do.

There is no specifically "black on black violence." People tend to commit crimes in their neighborhoods, more often against people of their own group. You people bring up "black on black violence" as a diversion. There's also "white on white violence," "Latino on Latino violence," "Asian on Asian violence," etc. Instead of using that as a cudgel to attack Black people, why don't you bring up interracial violence among other people? Answer - because you're a racist piece of shit.

@melissa001 And thats their own fault, and their own issue. It has nothing to do with a political catch phrase that is designed and owned by whites. 🙂

@melissa001 Numbers are not important, because you probably dont wanna know the real numbers anyway if you actually knew. 🙂
