As somebody who so-called mixed-raced, I'm getting sick and tired of BLM not is going on has been happening since 2013. All lives matter as in the overall meaning is not RACIST. Period. I am literally getting sick of hearing all this. You care so much about your physical labels, thinking it has to mean something when has everything to do with people are killing other people. Do anybody have any brain cells left knowing that this is all done on purpose to start a civil war? This is been going on since ages. There is only but One race and that is the human race. Not unless you are an alien hailing from some other planet than planet Earth. Unless you are half something your human. There is no such thing as black, white, yellow, pink, or whatever kind of person. If you're telling your Italian. If you're Asian Eurasian, if you're from the Congo, you're from the Congo. If you're a Nigerian, you're Nigerian. Everybody who is claiminv themselves to be black better do their research, better get a DNA test what genetic testing done, and see where they hail from in the ancestry. But it doesn't matter. People are not understanding what really goes on when they hearing these things and why do things are being perpetrated the way they are. It is done to appeal to your emotions, and make you lose sight of what is actually important, and what is truly happening. Some of these people are actually doing what they're doing getting paid to kill out their own family so that way they can start their own agenda. And they're winning every single time you're getting affected by it emotionally. I have seen violence, I have seen people being affected by gang violence, guns, drugs, alcohol, rape, and everything else that you can think of cuz I grew up in such a place. I seen plenty of so-called black people threatening me, threatening anybody else equally as so-called white people. I am threatened by people. And regardless of their so-called race for skin color or nationality, religion, or ethnicity. When are people going to fully understand that if the person is guilty of something, they are guilty of something. I don't look at the color, I look at the person. Every person matters. BLM has proven itself to be just as equally at fault as those who want to prop this up, as extremist. People have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Nobody is really putting two and two together except for the few. These are crimes against humanity.
ALM is not racist. People just interpret various things differently. You think ALM is racist right? like that, some people think saying BLM is like saying only black lives matter. I treat people based on how they treat me, i do not treat them differently because of their race. Sure, blacks were not treated right in the past, but nobody is treated right now. Some people have gotten too involved in politics that they don't realize that not only blacks, but people of all races are not treated right in many parts of the world. in my opinion, i believe that everyone should treat others with respect
Saying that Every life regardless of racist is by literal fucking definition not racist. Saying that black lives matter, and then advocating for violence against white people and saying that all white people are bad and are responsible for every bad thing to ever happen, is by literal fucking definition racist.
Again, you have proven me wrong, you racists really do hate admitting what you are.
As for why they are saying it, its because violent BLM rioters have called for violence against every one else, have violently murdered people and are an openly racist, marxist (their own admission) hate group. By stating all lives matter they are calling out the racism and hypocrisy of black lives matter, that you claim black lives matter but you blame whites for everything (which is racist and inaccuate) but ignore that 90% of all blacks killed are killed by other blacks. You claim that cops actively target blacks. . . then ignore that not only is this not true, but that blacks are actually substantially more likely to kill cops then the reverse. You say your oppressed but then ingore your own actions that get you into these situations to begin with.
So saying all lives matter is a statement of they refuse to let you, a racist, claim that one group is evil and bad because of their skin color and that we are all human and you don't get to decide who is a person and who is not (which is precisely what BLM is trying to do hence all of their racist rhetoric and refusal to own up to their own fucking actions).
Its not really that hard a concept to grasp unless your a racist.
No, see, you are only thinking about you.
I have a problem with BLM because they are an organization designeded to help only one race. That uses violence and intimidation to get what they want at the expense of others.
If you care about black lives, you wouldn't support an organization that litterally killed a 70 year old black buisnes owner and took everything he had.
I totally agree that black lives matter. But I also care about Hispanic people, Middle Eastern people, animal rights, and opressed European nation's.
You are saying only people like you matter.
I agree that you matter, but I think everyone else does too.
I'm not racist for caring about my Hispanic Friends too. You are racist if you think I shouldn't.
We just called it human rights until BLM came along and tried to make it all about them. So, when they do that, we try to explain it as simply as possible using words they can understand.
Yes, of course black lives matter. All lives matter. But yours doesn't matter any more or less than anyone elses. BLM is the only organization I know of that seems to have more of an issue that statement than the KKK.
If you think the statement "All Lives Matter" is racist, you don't know what racism means. That's why we have to keep explaining it to you over and over again.

The fact that so many people were inferring it to mean Black Lives ONLY Matter instead of Black Lives Matter Too makes me want to hit myself in the head repeatedly with a tack hammer lmfao. I mean, whatever you think about BLM, whether you like it or don’t, that’s a separate issue... but how anyone came up with it meaning Black Lives Only Matter... no offense, but yikes. I’m pretty stunned to read that, to be completely honest🤦♂️😂

Exactly. It would be like going to a cancer fundraiser and saying "All disease matters!" Like... yeah, but right now we're focusing on this particular disease because it's unique and deadly and requires a certain attention. By focusing on cancer we aren't saying let all other diseases run rampant, we just only have so much time and resources and we are focusing them on cancer.
But like you said, the All Lives Matter crowd are only saying that as a push back against the BLM movement. They don't actually have any goals beyond shutting others up
Black lives matter is the most racist statement there ever was, that's why people say all lives matter. Many white people and people of all races worked very hard for black people to have civil rights laws, the hardest thing this country has ever done.
Because it’s not, We’re saying all lives matter, which includes black live white lives Asian lives Latino live men’s lives women’s lives. All lives matter
it’s also away of saying yes Black Lives Matter without us having to support the organization Black Lives Matter because the organization black live matter is a Marxist organization that no one in there right mind would support. They basically took a statement that is obvious and then turned it into Marxist propaganda and then say if we don’t agree with them we’re racist. I will never support Marxism or communist or socialism this is why I hate BLM the organization
All lives matter is most definitely used as a riposte by those who simply don't like attention being drawn to issues affecting black people. This is not to say that I agree with the ethos or actions of BLM but I do agree that the ALM response misses the point. If I highlight an issue affecting red squirrels it's kind of pointless to tell me that all animals matter. It doesn't address a specific issue with a specific subspecies. If I'm campaigning for the rights of disabled people then should I be told that all people matter? How does that help? All people may indeed matter but all people don't necessarily face the same exact problems. It is the right of interest groups to highlight their own specific cause and for others to support them should they choose to do so.
Ok. I don't give a shit about either slogan. But i think your backwards in this. Blacks saying black lives matter is saying, hey, i matter. U don't. And that's where a lot of confusion is coming from. I agree all lives matter. And yes I'm including African American Mexican American Asain Amsrican, and any other people living their life. I understand what blacks want known by saying this. Talking about bringing to light of all the bull shit pulled against them, so people know what they have to deal with on a day to day in the hopes of change. So neither slogan bother me.
I'm honestly not sure how "All Lives Matter" doesn't include black people... i mean black people have lives, right? I'm so confused 🤔 we know damn well people would be pissed if people said "White Lives Matter" I mean am I wrong? That wouldn't be including black people. But then again Black Lives Matter doesn't include white people. It's funny that your complaining about inclusiveness at the term "all" did you go to first grade?
No one thinks black lives don't matter. But to say black lives matter, many people interpret as "only black lives matter". That is why people often respond saying all lives matter.
If the political slogan was effective, no one would rip holes in it.
The idea is that black lives matter is a racist extremist fanatic cult spreading nothing but violence and hate.
The question should by why can't black lives matter people understand that by refusing that app lives matter they are essentially saying only black lives matter.
All that being said the harsh truth is regardless of what you chose to say or not say in the end no lives matter. We are all subject to tyranny and inequality we all hurt one another regardless of race or gender no one is entitled to anything just for being born
I don't know, maybe because BLM as an organization has been for punishing all white people- which is stupid because many races can be "white passing"- and has been anti-family, and about destroying their communities. Black lives DO matter, but that organization that they created does not.
ALM isn’t racist. It’s the goal. We strive, or should be striving, to make All Lives Matter. Unfortunately, we can’t claim all lives matter UNTIL Black Lives Matter. Even when we accomplish in believing as a society that BLM, there are other lives that need to be included before we can honestly say All Lives Matter.
To claim it now is premature.
I'll have to disagree with you on that, every life is precious irrespective of race or religion, I've travelled the world through work and I've seen too many lives lost, be it through accident, terrorism, or any of the other ways humans have of killing themselves.
Until you've lost people you've been trying to help for the want if a simple field dressing, then keep your sanctimonious blather to yourself,
You live in one of the richest countries on the planet and your still trying to kill each other.
If all lives matter, why do you only say that black lives matter? Why don't you mention all the other lives matter. Mentioning only one race is divisive; mentioning all people is inclusive.
Do you own a mirror? If so, go look in it and you will see the problem.
The word you're learning the meaning of - is "intent".
People who talk about "blue lives" or "all lives" are really only saying that to deny "black lives" activism. Not because they have anything positive to add, but it's their way of sharing their hatred and shade in a more closeted way.
Stop doing mental somersaults. "Black lives matter" is by definition included within the statement "all lives matter". What's the issue here? One doesn't negate the other. People are just whining over twitter semantics instead of applying common sense.
By saying that BLM, then the implication is that they- above others who were NOT included in the slogan- somehow matter less or simply don't matter at all.
ALM is all inclusive, as is the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bible.
As I understand it, BLM & ALM are arguing two different things. BLM is arguing that all lives won't matter until black lives specifically matter. ALM is arguing that black lives matter the same as everyone else's. The political organizations that champion these slogans aside; I think the ALM people just don't believe that police are targeting black people.
It’s a way for them to ding BLM and still seem anti-racist. As we’re seeing with CRT, some in this country would rather forget our racist past and present instead of combating it head on.
"If those people truly thought that all lives mattered than they wouldn’t have an issue with people saying Black Lives Matter..."
So if you truly thought that all lives matter than you wouldn't have an issue with people saying White Lives Matter 🙃
So let me get this right… if I believe all lives matter I’m a racist because I’m literally including everyone.
If I believe BLM - that excludes all other races - I’m not a raciest.
Does that mean when she says no, it actually means yes now too.
