All those people who said 'All lives matter,' in response to BLM...
...none of them seem to think that Palestinian lives matter much. Or at all. Just an observation.

@TheEmperor by all means try it. It never fails.

@Richard65 The reality is that you have chosen to internalize a very specific meaning to the phrases Black lives Matter and All Lives Matter. It shouldn't be a point of pride to have swallowed this propaganda that you can only see people as "bigots" who disagree.
Just because your propaganda makes you feel self righteous and superior doesn't mean its gospel and only your interpretation is correct.

@SumKindaMunster no, I've actually taken time to read about and understand the real meaning of the term Black Lives Matter, whereas people who spout the term All Lives Matter patently haven't. Just like the bigots who demand that White Privilege doesn't exist show they have no idea what that means either.
Tell me, have you ever read anything by any black writer? Baldwin, Frederick Douglass, Ta-Nehisi Paul Coates...?

@Richard65 Dick, you're just confirming what I already said. You chose to read the propaganda that promotes your current beliefs around Black Lives Matter and now you are using a purity test to try and dismiss my opinion.
Why is the race of who I read so important to you? I try to focus on ideas in my reading, not clicking off a demographic box so I can fit in with the culture du jour.

@SumKindaMunster nice try. You dismiss the actual lived reality of people as mere propaganda and refuse to read them then think you're speaking from a position of knowledge. You represent everything I'm criticising, so it's appropriate that you replied. You say you try to focus on ideas in your reading. Tell me - where do you get your ideas from if you refuse to read the thoughts and lived experiences of the very people we're discussing? Who are you reading?

@Richard65 Point of clarity tricky dick, my comment about "propaganda" was directed to BLM and the BLM leadership, not the authors you referenced.
I tend to read about stories that expose how our government and centers of power are using advanced propaganda techniques to brainwash people into going along with their agenda. You following the court case "Missouri vs Biden"? Its shocking what the US government is doing to prevent people from thinking for themselves.
Here's something regarding race that caught my interest. The talk is ok, what is relevant is this was very poorly received by a "faction" of TED and Coleman had to endure some nonsense with his TED talk including having it suppressed and demonetized because it offended some people behind the scenes at TED...
I'm a free speech absolutist. Short of Charles Manson style speech directly others to harm, I think people should say whatever they want, and if it offends, then don't listen or expose yourself to it.
The people that say free speech is "dangerous" are the ones to watch out for, not what they point their jaundiced finger at...
