That to blacks only their lives matter. Not because of the slogan itself but because of the rhetoric of the people flying that banner

SPC Andrew Griffin - I interrupt it that way and so does a Black friend of mine that owns a Cafe in downtown Portland. The BLM and ANTIFA shot up his place and He said that makes me want to vote for trump.

I think this message is dividing our country. I would give my life for any of my fellow Marines, and any other service member. Race has nothing to do with my oath. Thank you all who currently serve and defend all lives, black, red, yellow, white and any other color in our diverse nation.

All lives matter. If BLM then all the black people should be up in arms with the slaughter going on in Chicago blacks killing blacks..funny you never hear Sharpton, Jackson, or even Obama address this issue. The only time it becomes an issue is when a black person is killed by a white person, especially if it involves the police...sorry but the above people has started this and MLK would probably kick their ass...

Being a person of multiple ancestor-homelands, Africa among them, I've had a hard time dealing with this single sentence.
Does that mean that only black lives matter to blacks? Does that mean it only counts when black lives are taken by people of other skin tones? Does it mean since I LOOK white, I don't count? Its one of those comments that make me go "Huh?"

Each day, Black children below the age of 18, loose their lives in horrible ways, to other Blacks. Not a word is spoken. Each and every day, Black teenagers pull out guns on each other and fire where most of us might have resorted to fists in another time. Every single day, my friends... and yet not a single Rich, Famous Black Pastor opens his mouth, even though two of them are front and center each and every time a black life is taken by a non-black. Maybe I'm just too old, or maybe I'm not black enough to understand it, but I just can't get my mind around the reality of children killing children and there are so many deaths, they don't even make the evening news.

I don't understand why some people can live among others and kill as casually as swatting a fly, and yet those around them say nothing. "Snitches get Stitches" they say... while more of their children die every day. Am I just too White to understand all this, or is it as screwed up as I think it is?

Cpl. Glynis Sakowicz, I wish I could vote you up 100 times ! I worked in a prison and the black inmates thought I was married to a black man (I'm not) because I was so fair to them. There is also no doubt that I have nothing but love and respect for ALL my Veteran brothers and sisters. I see citizens, not color, not religion, not sexual identity, not economic status or gender identity. I do however get along well with Republican conservatives and fiscally responsible Democrats...nuff said.

I believe everyone saying "____" matter is well dumb. It is just going to start an argument. Here is the thing all lives matter, end of story. Everyone does not have to like one another or agree with each other, but have some self pride and respect each other. See the big picture, because all this "____" lives matter crap is going to end in disaster. Example: (my opinion) We have a civil/ race war and what will happen? There are other countries that hate us. So, they will either let us kill each other and take over or kill us because we are to distracted to notice. I go with A because it would be cheaper for the enemy. End result no more America!!

To focus on a current and ongoing problem the slogan "Black Lives Matter" but we have to not lose focus on the fact that "All Lives Matter." But if using the slogan helps raise awareness to the problem then it is serving its purpose.

The Black Lives Matter movement is a complete scam and is worthless, the only time they demonstrate and freak out is when a black person is killed by law enforcement even if it is justified, however they say nothing about those being slaughtered for no reason by other blacks in cities like Chicago and Baltimore. Baltimore is a special case, a lot of people wanted less police presence, they got it and now people are slaughtering eachother. Baltimore residents now want the police back! Be careful for what you wish for.

( I apologize if using the phrase "black person" has offended anyone, didn't mean it in an offensive way)
