What's wrong with saying all lives matter? (Page 2)

Question

I thought we were the human race, so why dont we all just come together instead of black, blue, white or whatever lives matter. I feel like people are starting to break apart piece by piece, some quicker then others. I feel like people are starting to hurt others more then usual which is even worse. I feel like BLM isn't doing what it should be doing and that's getting black people together, showing black people there's a better life then crime, but it seems that from what it looks like, they simply want war. Ex: when they took down the statue's, I agree they should not have been there but wouldn't it be better for everyone If y'all put it in a museum so that anyone who wants to see it can. I dont like statue's to begin with so yea. Another ex is stone mountain park in atlanta, from what I saw both sides were armed with lots of different firearms and I feel like both sides are at fault for that shit. I feel like that was unnecessary and uncivilized. I thought we as a nation were suppose to be United as it says in our name but what I see is bitterness, hatred, greed, unhappiness, morals going down so low they might as well not exist, people no longer caring about what happens and are deciding to be a giant asshole instead of listening or talking it out. Ex gang wars, the roits in all these cities, the rappers being killed, and all that other shit. I feel like what Martin Luther king did was a dream compared to the nightmare that we are facing. I have seen repeated videos of what 1 man could do if he tried to stay as civilized as possible while making sure his voice was heard, by being a actual leader and showing kindness, compassion and love to one another, but what were doing is far from it. It's just turning into a all out warzone and sooner or later something really bad may happen and I dont want that to happen cause I feel like we need a better solution to everything going on.

Because it takes away from the focus of the saying BLM.  YES WE KNOW that All lives matter... But not all lives are being targeted the way black lives are.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Nothing but it takes away from the focus of who the cops were just up and killing without asking questions first. So of course all lives matter but the point of the movement was to make sure they knew black lives matter (TOO) not MORE than others

Chthou95 · Answer

I don't say that but i also don't support black lives matter. I can't stand behind a movement that doesn't take into consideration how many blacks are murdered by blacks in bad areas. Black lives matter doesn't care about that though until a non black person kills a black person.

guesswhoseback · Answer

Because BLM was never really about racial peace and police reform. The co-founder of the movement explicitly stated she is neo Marxist. It really is just a front to push communism in the name of “progressiveness”

Psychosocial · Answer

Very few people actually believe that all lives matter it’s laughable. Most people only care about friends and family. Everyone else they don’t care what happens to them. That’s why equality will never work and every country is corrupt to some degree and always will be as long as money is involved.

GoCommitDespacito · Answer

The alt right doesn't care about anymore. They only *pretend* to care as a purposely distracting reactionary comment to when black Americans complain about continuosly being clipped faster than I get clipped in csgo.

It's exactly like someone saying "why are you complaining about the Jewish being put in concentration camps? What about the journalists, huh!"

Dargil · Answer

Human lives matter. Simple as that.
BLM's rage is because to them only some Black lives taken by non-Black people, matter.
*They do not care about the huge black on black crime and murder rate.
*They do not care about the 40% of black lives taken through abortion.

They are a terrorist group no better than the Klan. The Klan wraps themselves in white robes. BLM wrap themselves in a bogus Civil Rights cloak.

Anonymous · Answer

I didn't read everything you wrote. Just responding to the question in the title. What's wrong with it? Timing. That's all. When a group of people is oppressed, those who are in a position to affect change have the responsibility to lift that group up... not over everyone else, but out of oppression.

Unfortunately, the BLM group does not do this. They are a bunch of racists.

Do black lives matter? OF COURSE. But the BLM group is much more than those three words, and that's the problem with them.

Do all lives matter? OF COURSE. But at this time, a spotlight needs to be shone upon to oppression of those who are black, and the oppression needs to stop. And that's the problem with "All Lives Matter."

Trooper205 · Answer

Personally, I'm afraid there's no escaping the War, despite anything we say... People are much to arrogant, Ignorant and War-Loving to change their ways. To put it bluntly, no matter what we put out there, people will continue to discriminate.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Demographic tensions- skin color, religion, even wealth- are the meal ticket for a LOT of people. Remove that fear and anger, and certain people stand to lose quite a bit.

purplepoppy · Answer

That's true to an extent but when a ship sinks see who gets let in the life boat first.

The_Sal · Answer

You know something is wrong when the poster is black but all the commenters trying to prove him wrong at white 😅.

They think they know how black people feel , the struggles they and other colors go through and think they know what's good for their race

Blueeyes81 · Answer

It be like going to a breast cancer awareness benefit and shouting out "all cancer matters". Its in poor taste, no one is saying that only black lives matter as no one is saying breast cancer is the only cancer of importance. Its simply pointing out an aspect that's personally important to the individual, not saying other lives don't matter.

Miristheiss · Answer

I'm sick of anyone having to talk about lives and "mattering".  I am so over this idiotic platitude.

Anonymous · Answer

There is nothing more America can do to help black Americans until they stop blaming everyone else, hold up a mirror, take some ownership for their real problems, which stem from their own culture, and decide to help themselves.

Not_Average · Answer

It’s entertaining to see white people try to convince a black guy that he’s racist towards black people lol. I really have nothing to contribute, but I agree with everything you’ve said on here.

Browneye57 · Answer

If you are truly a black American, then you are an outlier. This isn't about good sense and logic, facts, it's about feelings. Evidently you just have good sense.

jestergent · Answer

There aren't a lot of people with an open mind or good heart pushing these movements. I can't give the message merit. It's greed. I don't support evil nature.

007kingifrit · Answer

nothing, its just the BLM crowd is thinly veiled black supremacy that wants special treatment for black people

while you can find individual anecdotes of black people being mistreated by the police this is disproven by scientific studies

locutus9999 · Answer

Emn I am not American, I am not black, but here is the speech that everyone in america seems to have forgotten the recent years, the speech of Martin Luther King.

Malik00 · Answer

Because your life only matters if you have the right opinions and beliefs. For example its ok to be racist towards Cubans now becuase they cost biden Florida.

Its ok to be racist towards Asians becuase they do too well in academia.

Its ok to call a black person the n word , uncle tom and a bootlickerwhen they don't support completely abolishing police.

allaboutyou2 · Answer

You are 100 percent right.
Unfortunately the politicians think division is an advantage to their political careers.
When it comes to genuinely caring about our fellow citizens race or color is irrelevant.
Division helps no one and hurts many.
I agree we all need to start identifying and acting like human beings not putting ourselves or others into a sub category.

Dtegesd123 · Answer

Easy short answer, all lives matter is kinda condescending to the black lives matter, ofc all loves matter. BLM is focusing on problems the black community faces, it's not to say other races communities don't matter.

Kuressento · Answer

If a black person in the united states of America isn't treated with the same amount of respect and safety, wouldn't that apply to the rest of the color minority? For example, an African American 7th generation who enlisted in the military, serve time to protect their nation is seen as intimidating in Northern American society. This problem is enormous in North America. Compare to other countries. And it quite obvious to see that.

Yaaten · Answer

"All lives matter" is simply a statement of fact, because they do. There's nothing controversial about this.

love_exo · Answer

MrHopper · Answer

All creatures on this earth matter but it's the adorable or "cool" looking ones that get all the love and help. If you support it or don't that is your choice.

hellacray · Answer

Nothing... It's the weirdos that have a problem with it.

Massageman · Answer

I really do not see the problem saying that ALL lives matter. They all matter to God, so much so that He offers the gift of eternal life if we just accept it. My pay grade is not high enough to question that.

ronaldo75 · Answer

Nothing. The problem is that most "all lives matter" people tend to be against black lives matter and that makes no sense. If you say "All lives matter" then you should be able to march with a group of black lives matter protestors.

Citizenkirk · Answer

All lives matter, but not all opinions matter.   Anyone who doesn't feel that all lives are important, have nothing to say, that I want to hear.

supercutebutt · Answer

Do all butts matter? Sorta. But ultimately, it's the super cute ones that people really care about.

Twalli · Answer

The BLM movement isn't saying other lives matter. It operates on the feeling that the lives of blacks are marginalized compared to other lives in this country.

EssenceOfLight · Answer

Some people fall easily for 'divide et impera' tactics of establishment. BLM is one.

OddBeMe · Answer

Like motorcycle clubs, there’s a culture around rap music. I think it’s only a small % that’s actually “criminal”. Now it’s rappers bitching about cops and the govt, then going home to million dollar mansions.

Anonymous · Answer

All lives matter, everyone acts like only black people have huge problems, if the person that got killed by a cop was a white poor person, no one would have cared, all lives matter, even poor people's lives who probably struggle more than black people

gotc147 · Answer

There is nothing wrong with "all lives matter" those that say otherwise are racists.

Givemore · Answer

I thought BLM was just a group that need sneekers really bad.

Sabretooth · Answer

it's a racial copout. i didn't understand the issue myself... until, i saw this:  angry at myself for not understanding the strategy.

worldscolide · Answer

could not agree more with you. BLM lost my support when they started rioting, burning, looting, and killing innocents.

IlluminatiExposed0 · Answer

In a completely neutral context there's nothing wrong with it at all. As a response to BLM it's a transparent attempt to belittle and disqualify the movement.

Dweezil · Answer

If BLM truly gives a shit about black lives, the group should set up shop in all areas where blacks are killing blacks... not just police killing blacks.

Cherokeehp · Answer

Do you just like... hate black people?

Anonymous · Answer

When I used to say all lives matter, it wasn't against African-Americans. It was including everyone, including African-Americans.

Nothing is wrong with saying All lives matters. Somehow caring about all lives is for supremacists.
