I support the idea that All lives matter and that it is your character that defines you and not your race or gender. The current BLM organization is clearly nothing more than a bunch of thugs of all races that want to riot and loot for free stuff which will do nothing more than hurt them because it will cause even more business to leave the inner cities which will cause more poverty because there will be nowhere to work.
There is no systemic racism in the US that is holding down minorities and Police brutality affect all races. People who live in the hood need to change their culture and government money only hurts these areas by enabling bad behavior because people don't have to worry about food or shelter which would make them work if it did and if they worked then they would spend less time in gangs.

I support all lives. Especially being in Albuquerque. The DOJ investigated APD after 7 fatal officer shootings. mainly because of James Boyd. Homeless white guy just camping out. He had his back turned just gathering his belongings to leave and they just shot him in the back. it's police brutality and abuse of power. One p. o. s. cop with 11 priors already on his record does not represent everyone. nor should it automatically turn into a racism war. All lives matter. Expect for Pedos and those who naturally desire to hurt the innocent. couldn't care any less for those types 🤷

I certainly support the base concept - yes, black people deserve all the same respect that anybody else does.
But I'm not a fan of what the movement has become. There certainly are plenty of legitimate cases of black people being mistreated by police, but the movement also seems to protest every time a black person dies even when the police acted completely reasonably. It's hard to take it seriously when people are protesting the same and demanding justice, even in cases when somebody actually attacked police or pulled a weapon on them. And there should be some acknowledgement of the statistical realities that partly explain why so many black men end up in jail or shot by police, which aren't all just racism.

[TadCurious]

No I don't support BLM. It arose out of a completely false narrative surrounding the Michael Brown shooting. And even Obama's Department of Justice investigation (led by a black Attorney General) determined that the shooting was a justified use of force. But that didn't stop BLM for looting and burning Ferguson, Missouri, including the small businesses owned by African Americans. The lives and livelihoods of those black business owners didn't matter to BLM.

[Ripper_E]

No I do not because like last time, there are way too many idiots.
I support police being sentenced for murder when they commit murder but I'm not for destroying and looting businesses and our communities, or helping the spread of COVID-19, and for what? Justice?
There is no justice. That's chaos.

[crazy8000]

Nope.
Why should black lives matter more than others!

All life matters.

Pretty tired of one sided misogyn nonsense that have to high potential to become suppression in an other direction by the misogyn complex people.
Also a lot of so called black (afro American) are racistic themselves and tries to get away with it by playing they can't be due to some old racistic problems in the past. they aren't better then femenist extremists.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The movement is confusing to me. I'm not into the whole black lives, white lives matter etc movement thing.

I'm into social justice and equity for all in regards to justice, opportunities and holding the government and local police accountable for their jobs.

[Anonymous]

All lives do matter but right now black people need help so I’m cool with them 🤷🏻‍♀️. Have they lynched or shot anyone? No they haven’t.

[Rangers]

Blacks kill more of their own people every 6 months than whites killed in the past 86 years. Also, more than twice as many whites are killed by police every year than blacks, and we're on par to have the lowest number of people killed by police in 40 years, at just 41 for whites, 12 for blacks, 10 for hispanics, 1 for Asians, 0 for other. But I suspect it'll go up thanks to this terrorist organization burning down cities over nothing and I think cops are more than justified if they start killing the rioters, in fact, I really hope they start using lethal force on them because they deserve it because they're trying to kill innocent police officers.

[KatQueen1313]

@Rangers Just curious, where did you get your data from? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you.

[Rangers]

4,440 blacks were lynched between 1877 and 1950, an average of about 6,000 blacks are murdered every year which is about half the homicides each year while accounting for 13% of the population, over 95% of which are by another black person. Also in the FBI side, they conflate Hispanics with whites, but Hispanics also commit a disproportionate rate of crime, yet still the statistics show a huge disparity even with that unfair conflation.

[Opinion Owner]

4,440 REPORTED cases of lynchings. The number is definitely higher than that buddy🤷🏻‍♀️

[Rangers]

They're quite generous with it, as the amount of reported lynchings is about half of that, and I took that from a left leaning site because I knew you'd say that and it's probably where you get your "info" too. But even when I give you all of that leeway, the case still doesn't look good for your narrative at all.

[KatQueen1313]

@Rangers Thanks for the sources.

[tHISpLACEiSbONKERZ]

Not really, all lives matter. There are no sides, we're all human beings. I mean there is trash in this world that deserves nothing but death row, but these I judge based on their actions not the pigment of their skin.

[likelyOK]

Wow it's crazy that so many men on here don't tells me a lot

[Bananaman177]

1488

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

White people are like 4× the population of black people though, so it makes sense for white people to be shot more, arrested more and overall commit more crime than black people.

[Bananaman177]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy It's not the gross, it's the rate. The rate is for every 10,000 people, so it's looking at the same exact population, per capita.

[coffeewithcream]

I've seen maybe 3 black people in my life with the exception of the Harlem Globe Trotters who visited my high school.
Black Lives Matter is something I see on tv.

[s2firestar]

I do not. Either all lives matter or none of them.

BLM is just a facade to loot and pillage, set up along a false narrative and lies.

[Anonymous]

Of course I don't support them. They are domestic terrorists and some of the most racist people in the world.

[Nachowedgie]

No, I don't support racists, nor do I support a terrorist organisation

[Anonymous]

I don't support BLM and I don't support cops intentionally hurting black people. I also realize that these incidents are not common place.

[Anonymous]

not at all. that racist terrorist organization can go eff itself

[DeeDeeDeVour]

ALL LIVES MATTER.

[leahzrc]

yes because black lives matter

[Parnian]

I don’t care therefore I don’t

[TwoToTooTutu2]

No, I do not support Russia.

[reptocarl2]

Fuck no. You think you’re special?

[Rangers]

No, they're a domestic terrorist organization

[Anonymous]

Asian lives matter...
