I am a believer that all lives matter. Because of this I see the black lives matter as racist. Racist because if "black lives matter" why aren't they protesting just as much for the black unborn baby being aborted? Why if a white cop shoots a black guy they protest but when a black guy shoots another black guy they do not? I mean if if black lives matter then shouldn't all black lives matter? not just the ones where white people are involved? That makes it racist...
All lives matter is offensive because we already know white lives matter. Would you counter “start seeing motorcycles” with “every vehicle matters”?
So are you saying that red American Indians don't matter? Because you say that we already know white lives matter but you did not say red lives matter? what about Latino lives? when I say all I mean all not just back and white. You do know there are more than just black and white people in the world I am sure.
I mean it is specifically addressing the problem of cops disproportionately killing black men.
So am I to understand that the whole black lives movement is just about cops killing black men?
Yes. That is the heart of it.
@loves2learn and yet you said in your post that whites don't have a culture and blacks do... so it sounds to me like you need to be reminded white lives matter
@loves2learn here are some studies for you
This study debunks the claim that black people are killed at disproportionate rates. Yes it starts out accepting that in raw numbers black people are killed at a higher rate than their % of the population would suggest is reasonable but once you adjust for violent crime rates and rates of resisting to arrest they are actually underrepresented in police use of lethal force scholar.harvard.edu/.../empirical-analysis-racial-differences-police-use-force
for those of you who say that the % of blacks stopped and killed is higher than their % of the population this is not a sign of discrimination. Black men commit 52% of all murders www.channel4.com/.../factcheck-black-americans-commit-crime it is inevitable that they need more policing as they do more crime.
You will now say that blacks don’t commit more crime but instead just get policed at higher rates well…. The doj found that white, black and Hispanic drivers are stopped at the same rate https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=432
infact studies show police hesitate longer to shoot black people www.researchgate.net/.../290437363_The_Reverse_Racism_Effect_Are_Cops_More_Hesitant_to_Shoot_Black_Than_White_Suspects
Polls show blacks and whites are equally favorable to their local police www.monmouth.edu/.../
GTFO my take with your racist bullshit @007kingifrit. Your fucking up my notifs. Bye Felicia.
@loves2learn Really? @007kingifrit put his argument forward in a respectful way with factual research to support his points. He isn't being reverse racist by doing so. He's being respectful. This is the problem with the political left. You value feelings over fact and can't take it when someone shoots down your argument with pure facts. If you think he's wrong, please show us the research that proves it.
He is alllll over my take spouting racist bullshit. I am over it.
@loves2learn how is he spouting racist bullshit when he's giving you valid links from the same whacked out liberal educational university sites that support your blm. look at the links and some of them end in edu. the same liberal retarded nonsense you're spouting.
Yes well said I strongly agree with u✊🏾 and I usually stay away from this topic but u explained it very very well u put a lot of thought in too it🙏 thank u for sharing 👏my friend 🥰 !
I did! It is an oft misunderstood issue. Thank you for coming by to say this. :)
I don't support this movement and never will. Why should i care when they don't even care their own neighbourhoods? Gang violence is high in black neighborhoods & the number of innocent blacks killed by other blacks is at s high rate. It only becomes an issue when a white man kills a black man then the movement wants to cry racism and oppression 😭. When the George floyd riots happened, they didn't give a shit about David dorn a veteran police that was killed by looters and guess what? He was black. Only specific black lives matter to this hypocritical movement. So no Blm virtue signaling from me
Here is why I do not pity George Floyd.
First the cop that put the knee on his neck SHOULD be in jail for being an idiot.
The reason I do not pity George Floyd is this.
He put himself in bad situations. My father would always tell me not to put myself and bad things won't happen to me.
Floyd put himself in bad situations. Blame it on his drug addiction if you want but that is no excuse for his behaviour.
Floyd once held a knife to a pregnant woman's belly while his cohort ransacked her house.
Actions have consequences. George Floyd's years of bad behaviour lead to his death.
Two thumbs down and no explanation why?
I do not “pity” George Floyd either. Bottom line, petty crimes should never lead to a death sentence (I am referring to the counterfeit bill that started all this).
Holding a knife to a pregnant woman is not a petty crime.
If your don't want to burn your hand don't touch a hot stove.
I literally just specified. *Counterfeit bill* this is what brought Derek Chauvin to the scene that day. Knife to a pregnant lady is an isolated incident for which another sentence is deserved.
His continued bad behavior led to the fake $20th bill.
No fake $20 bill. No encounter will the police.
However, Floyd had a lethal dose of drugs in his system. If he didn't encounter the police that day he may still have died.
Like I said. His misdeeds no matter how petty lead to his death.
"Bottom line, petty crimes should never lead to a death sentence"
But Derek Chauvin was arrested almost immediately after George Floyd death. There was literally NO REASON to still burn down cities all across America. BLM literally *won!* Not just with Chauvin being arrested, but that complete kangaroo court bullsh*t trial, where overwhelming evidence proved George Floyd died of an O. D. and there was no murder that happened that day (at worst, negligible manslaughter). BLM harassed and intimidated the jury, and so did that piece of sh*t politician lady who threatened there would be more riots if there wasn't a guilty charge across the board.
Derek Chauvin wasn't completely innocent, but that trial was a complete obstruction of justice and a travesty. Ignoring his character, imagine spending years of your life serving the public, only to get sent to prison on some bullsh*t political campaign for something you didn't do.
So BLM not only got Chauvin arrested and won in that regard, but they also got a bogus murder sentence on Chauvin as well, using threats, harassment, and intimidation to all parties involved, so they won "twice." Besides the fact that that makes BLM literal f*cking terrorists, what exactly was all their rioting, looting, arson, and violence for, exactly? You cannot claim to support a group and then ignore what they spent MONTHS doing in the real world, that affected thousands of innocent people's lives and got several others killed in the process. I won't let you be aa coward to such horrendous acts by claiming "racism bad!"
@McCheetah The sad thing is BLM supporters never call out the evil the group does in the name of "social justice".
The groups uses any excuse to riot, burn and kill while BLM big Whigs buy million dollar mansions in California.
@billyballs
They're sheep who lack critical thinking skills and do the bidding of millionaires. Nothing more.
there is zero evidence the daniel chauvin's actions in any way caused the death of floyd
and floyd was guilty of many serious crimes in the past. he stuck a loaded gun in a pregnant woman's belly
Ohhhh fuck no. Back the fuck off on all that. DEREK Chauvin killed him you racist asshole.
After reading this I had to go back up to see if it was me that wrote it. You have essentially outlined my entire concept on the race issue. Thank you!
Wow! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Nice job virtue signaling, sorry to burst your bubble but the BLM organization is a scam. Just look into the backgrounds of their "leadership" and you can see it's really a Marxist organization and it's all about money.
If you really want to make a difference it starts with what you do... raise your kids right and call out any racist assholes you encounter.
I am glad but it means you aren't a racist asshole unlike a lot of people.
she said white isn't a culture... so yea she is a racist
But it’s not. 🤣🤣🤣
Very good, it means, you are not racist, otherwise 98.5 %white Americans hate Black people
I don’t think that many white Americans hate black people. But I agree too many do.
BLM is ok but not full answer.
because there are more races then 2
Yes. BLM addresses the disproportionate killing of black men by police.
Yes I read it.
But it leaves others out
It’s not designed to include others. The problem is black men being killed by police, not including all races.
@loves2learn
When it comes to black men murdered by other black men there is silence. Just as in the case of black children murdered by black adults. BLM
@loves2learn
BLM only focuses on black men shot by white police officers. Otherwise, they are silent.
All Lives Matter. But that’s not allowed to be said… fuck that. BLM is bullshit.
*crickets*
Everyone knows white lives matter. You have missed the point entirely my dear.
I am over it. BLM is nonsense. The co-founder bought 4 houses with the money in white neighborhoods. It was a tool to energize the Democratic base for the last election. It served its purpose and went for a full boil to being put on the warmer. I knew and many others knew it would catch fire that summer, they just needed a dead black guy to kick off the campaign. It won’t be an issue again until the mid-terms, then new riots and protests for whatever thug gets put down around that time.
Okie dokie the extremists suck. The sentiment is valid.
Oh and you can’t give *crickets* two minutes after something is said…
Ok, I am opposed to your belief and therefore and extremist because I think all lives matter (this shouldn’t be controversial) and that this was a political tool which it was and it obvious as black guys have been killed recently and *crickets*.
Lmao. Ok
Listen we are all only humans. I am white but i not privileged. I grew up with a drunk dad rasing hell every night. 5 of my brother's early deaths becase they folliwed a drunk dad. My sister and i found Jesus. In God eyes we all arw beautiful. I love black women they look so fine. This problem is like Israel and Palestinians. Whites and black as old as early days. God bless you all dear black people
well you live in Minnesota right? so no doubt the George Floyd incident hit you very close since it occured close by you
My brother is black. My best friend is black... My tia & primos are black. Love you guys!
Using racism to try to correct past racism just leads to more racism.
It’s not racism. It’s understanding white privilege and black oppression. Not racist. Facts.
Opinions are not facts. Even if you insist that they are facts.
Are you telling me, Mr. 45+ Blue Anon sir, we do not have a factual history of oppressing Black Americans in our country? 🤔🤨
Past tense.
And I don't share your sense of guilt and need to atone by virtue signaling.
Not touching this with a 10 foot pole
Okie dokie. 😂😈
You could've saved time by telling us you're brainwashed and virtue signaling for votes
Coz you're a narcissist! You just supporting it to claim moral superiority. In reality you don't really care but pretend to care. So that you'll get attention.
Truth is You only care about attention.
Sorry for being brutally honest!
No you're not.
Ohhh hi Mr. Blue anon 18-24. Ehhhhh. Inaccurate. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Yeah, your logic is so absurdly skewed that it could be used to justify believing blacks are inherently disproportionally stupid thugs.
It's quite literally the sort of mentality that motivated hitler and BLM nowdays to hate jews.
"police disproportionately killing black Americans who posed no threat and getting away with it."
Uhh all the stats say the opposite.
Why were people looting stores for booz tv sneakers with black lives matter signs & as a rally sign to maime and kill under this banner
