why should other races NOT matter, or as much as blacks? None ever said black lives don't matter. This is why the black lives matter folks don't matter.
it seems white lives don't matter, if only black lives matter. can't I matter? What's the matter with mattering white folk too. It's not like this never happens to us.
the four teens were members of a Bessemer-area street gang called "M-Tre," which stood for "Money Making Mafia." Two of the teens were acquitted of Gilotti's murder at trial, and the other two teen suspects were never tried.
After everything we had to go through in 2020 I'd like to say that human lives matter regardless to the fucking colour of their skin and if I'm not entertaining a stereotype i wanna say bat life matter too 😇
We've come a long way since the 60'a , true but let's not act like racism doesn't still exist... if it didn't, why can I recall 2 times in the past 5 years that I was called the n word.. one of those times being spit on.. or how about when my boss told me I'd look more presentable if I straightened my hair when it was curly (my natural hair texture). He said , "why don't you straightened your hair like amber? (My white coworker) You'd look more. presentable. unfortunately I can't straighten my hair a the time bc its really long (takes 2 hours) and it's unhealthy for my hair. He wanted me to look less ethnic. That's unintended raciam right there... to tell me how is was born looking isn't presentable as opposed to how my white coworker was born looking. I dont think he realized it but it was a dumb suggestion.
@Imcmullan I also should've mentioned I am not from America. However the perception of white people has also been poisoned to the point that we're abused online by strangers who don't even know if we've ever interacted with a person of color.
Oh my God... If you aren't even from America, you don't get to even have a say bc you know NOTHING about Anything.. u only know what social media says. . smh.. u have some nerves.
@Imcmullan You can't eliminate all racism. I highly recommend watching "Discrimination and Disparities with Thomas Sowell". It's particularly topical today.
All lives matter. While it may not be offensive to say Black lives matter, it is giving the outlook that their life matters more and we all matter equally.
Well they say perception is ones reality.. thw fact of the matter is all lives do matter. however the problem that America has is including blacks in that ALL part. The issue here is fear. people fear black people and find us intimidating (i don't view myself this way) . Bc of how a lot of violence occurs in the black communities... yes its black on black violence that's more prevalent howevwr black people years back since slavery were put in a situation where they had to do dumb shit to survive and that unfortunately is being perpetuated.. n has become generational curses. If you are raised around nothjng but chaos its likely that thats all you will act out. There needs to be more resources in the ghetto communities to show people that there are other ways of living. I've experienced blatant racism a few times but I keep it to myself bc I don't qant to be just another blacl person pulling the race card. I qas told my curly hair was a bit much and to straighten it like my (white) coworker bc it looks more appropriate by my boss. Sorry my black hair isn't considered acceptable to everyone's eyes. I have been told not to interview someone who resume I pulled at a job bc her name sounds weird (she had a black name). I've been called the n word (i dont use that word , i hate it). Give a person with already fear and preconceived ideas of someone power and a gun then you'll get what happened to floyd. regardless of why he was arrested there are videos showing he WAS NOT resisting.. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THAT COP TO STAY KNEELED ON HIS NECK RESULTING IN HIS DEATH.
If you want you can happily make your own “all lives matter” sign and go to one of the protests and take the picture yourself! Let me know how it goes ❤️

Nobody said other lives don’t matter
it seems white lives don't matter, if only black lives matter. can't I matter? What's the matter with mattering white folk too. It's not like this never happens to us.
yikes
getting downvotes for NOT being racist. Equality folks, not superiority. We're all human - let's act it.
Overall all lives matter but for the specific situation going on right now black lives matter
The black lives matter movement isn’t peaceful https://youtu.be/ajaqY2vd7fw
They have lost any and all credibility to their movement. Human lives matter, not just one race.
mike gilotti’s death saw no justice, all the kids involved walked with lesser charges or probation for a senseless murder. Not one riot took place.
the four teens were members of a Bessemer-area street gang called "M-Tre," which stood for "Money Making Mafia." Two of the teens were acquitted of Gilotti's murder at trial, and the other two teen suspects were never tried.
Either all lives matter, or no lives matter. Those are my choices.
I think saying all lives matter would be a better slogan than black lives matter.
I chose black lives matter bc all lives can’t matter until we finally can figure out that black lives matter
Lives overall don't matter much?
Ones own life matters most?
Any unwarranted aggression against the person or property of another matters.
After everything we had to go through in 2020 I'd like to say that human lives matter regardless to the fucking colour of their skin and if I'm not entertaining a stereotype i wanna say bat life matter too 😇
All lives matter because all human lives have equal inhetent worth.
But they aren’t treated Equal and that’s the point
I answered the question that was asked, if you want the answer to a different question then ask that one.
Black lives matter would've made a lot more sense in the 60s.
PS: It's worth knowing that the founders of BLM were inspired by Assata Shakur. A domestic terrorist.
Fair point.

@Imcmullan I know Americans, dumbass. I am studying in New York. I just didn't grow up here.
👍🏾 here for a few years n u feel like your opinion matters? Lol whatever.
@Imcmullan You can't eliminate all racism. I highly recommend watching "Discrimination and Disparities with Thomas Sowell". It's particularly topical today.
I agree with your statement as is. It’s perfect

No one thinks black lives means more.. they are just saying treat us like we actually do matter as well. Simple..
A person who thinks anything other than this is being ridiculous and overly sensitive..
All lives matter is better to say as it shows we all have the same value
I pay mind to real policies and actions, not catchy slogans.
All life matters God did not put this world together for one race
We all matter. We all have to stand up for our black brothers and sisters.
And with the riots, they're all showing piss poor ways for any life to matter.
I agree with you on this one, BLM.
To be perfectly honest All Lives Matter Not Just Black Lives beginning and End Of It
Wish there was pic for all lives matter
That sucks
It sure does you should of added a pic lol
If you want you can happily make your own “all lives matter” sign and go to one of the protests and take the picture yourself! Let me know how it goes ❤️
What does that have to do with just adding a pic to the question?
