Easy. "Black Lives Matter Too" They may have left off that last word but that's what it is intended to mean.

In my opinion, the slogan "Black Lives Matter" is an organization that should be fighting for the rights of their community. However, it is really fighting against them as well as with everyone else. It's a democrat's wet dream with this, as they turn a blind eye. And if you hit them back with an "ALL LIVES MATTER" you might want to watch out, because there might be a mob coming after you since they think it's racist. I am not saying all, but the majority have had their minds brainwashed into thinking others that aren't them are out to get them. There are "bad apples" in all batches. I go out of my way to say hello to the majority of people when I pass by them. Sometimes I get a warm smile, nod or the stink eye. If you call me a racist for saying hello to you, then you have some serious issues. Anyways, in short, I think Black Lives Matter should matter but that's not what is going on. It's separating us as a country, community, and for our current and previous generations.

I think it's all bullshit. All lives matter no matter what their skin color or nationality is.The orginazation is based on a Marksist prinsible When I was a young man the government sent me to the other side of the world along with lots of good black soldiers to kill comunist. I'll be damned if I will support a comunist philisophy that includes the current democratic party as well as black lives matter

For far too long, it seemed black lives (as well as other minority lives) did not matter to some. A young person of color got shot down and many simply shrugged it off.
Time to end that practice.

Exactly what it says.
There are some very real perceptions that the justice system is not blind.
_Some of those perceptions are based on fact.
_Some of those perceptions are not.
_There is debate as to cause and effect.
But my take away is that we need to have real and meaningful discussions about how to fix a problem. It took us a few hundred years to get here, it will takes us decades to resolve it even if there is a near universal effort to do so.

I completely support BLM's right to be pissed off. I do not condone any one who would entice violence to make a point though. It has been proven BLM's members/supporters/rioters have overstepped laws during protests. That's where I draw the line. I support ANY group that is proud of who, what, or where they came from....Black to White, Asians to Hispanics, or Irish to Africa, Japan to Mexico....don't cross the line and break the law or you will suffer the consequences.

I believe ALL lives matter, not just black lives. This is what I teach my students about diversity. There is no color in friends. There are injustices committed on all ethnic groups. Martin Luther King, Jr. was all about peaceful resolutions. Problems cannot be solved through violence.

It's funny that you bring up MLK. Who was violently killed by the same people who he was non-violently protesting. It would seem that non-violence didn't help him. Decades later, were still dealing with the same situation. It seems that non-violence is ineffectual.

The irony of saying that problems cannot be solved through violence while belonging to a social media site where every single member belonged to a part of the government that uses violence to solve problems...

I see it the same as I would see a bumper sticker that read "watch out for motorcyclists". Some people just seem to die more than others, and maybe that is something that should be noticed. Its not racist, just like the person with that bumper sticker isnt someone who hates non-bikers
