I see that I was voted down again without explanation. Sorry you don't agree with MY interpretation of Black Lives Matter. But, let me clarify something. I would say the same thing if it the slogan said White Lives Matter or anything similar. In my opinion, this crap gets started by race baiters who more or less aren't pillars of the community and are far from being the role models to emulate. They were saying that slogan in Ferguson in which the "victim" was in the wrong, but lies led to riots and the resignation of a cop. Baltimore protests saw black people targeting whites. Need proof? Look no further than the day the first O's game was canceled due to civil unrest. All that over a black man who died in police custody. Oh, and here's the kicker: a couple of those cops being held responsible are black. So, knock off the BS with this racial divide.
Black Lives Matter
Asian Lives Matter
Hispanic Lives Matter
White Lives Matter
ALL LIVES MATTER!
Black Lives Matter
Asian Lives Matter
Hispanic Lives Matter
White Lives Matter
ALL LIVES MATTER!

No one ever said any lives don't natter. Obey the law and obey officer commands. If break the law, shame on you. If you then you resist, flee, fight, assault, use a weapon, etc , and get shot, that's cause and effect. BLM is evil. It's a fraud racket, racist, supporting of crime, Hamas, Al-Quaida, ISIS, open borders , Violence, murder of cops. It's anti-christian, anti-western, anti-democracy, racist. Violent and marxist. BLM= Buy Large Mansions or Burn, Loot, Murder

I have two takes:
1) It means what it says.
2) There is a lack of trust by the black (and other minority) communities of law enforcement. It really doesn't matter which side you take in the issue. The lack of trust needs to be addressed. Not just looked at, but really addressed and really fixed. No demographic should feel they cannot trust the law enforcement that serves their community. How to do that? I wish I had a clue.

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.

An attempt to make a name that will put anyone disagreeing with their policies in the wrong. This was made up be people who don’t want any honest reasonable discussion. They want to silence any opposition to what they want. MHO

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.
