What's wrong with saying all lives matter when more unarmed white people are shot by police than blacks or any other race?

It doesn't support the race hustling industry so it's a no-go. If we stop blaming white men and waiting for them to rescue us, a whole industry and political party will disappear and people most of the country will have to take personal responsibility. If that happened, many women and blacks would eventually be even more successful and poverty would get so low no democrat would EVER get elected again.

OMG, the truth, be carful. BLM just bought a 6 million dollar mansion and they are trying to hide the champagne brunches.

[Soteris]

Because "All lives matter" is stupid. It is not a social movement based on things such as how many white people is being shot by police, its a counter movement opposing Black Lives Matter. As such it is just a stupid reactionary counter movement with pretty much no actual value or any honest supporters. People bring it up only as an attempt to criticize BLM from a social angle and never to solve any problems.

As far as I am concerned, its a sign that tells me the person in question is not worth talking to because they are being dishonest.

[Datboi65]

Except for, not per capita. Black men are 2.5 times more likely to be shot and killed by police than white men. Black women are 1.4 times more likely to be killed by police than white women. Black lives are a part of "all lives", so until black lives are prioritized in that regard, then all lives cannot matter.

[Asker]

That's false

[Datboi65]

According to statistics, it is not. If you can't prove otherwise, then your opinion is useless.

[Guanfei]

And the crime statistics explain why, too.
Commit more crime, you'll have more chances to get shot, it's that simple.

[Asker]

Blacks commit 70% of crimes in the country too

[Datboi65]

@Guanfei Except for, that's not always the case. 43% of exonerations are usually Black Americans, even though we only make 14% of the population. So, 43% of the wrongly imprisoned are Black. Your argument of "commit crime, get killed by cops" doesn't stand when there's clear bias shown. 56% of all stop and frisks NYPD conduct are Black people, they are innocent 70% of the time. Tell me once again that's not prejudice.

[Guanfei]

Whether you want it or not, black people are more represented in criminality. You can try to twist the stats all you want, that's a fact.
And of course you'll be on the radar more if you're more likely to commit a crime.
You keep blaming society and cops and whatever you want, while the issue is the overwhelming criminality in the black community. Toward society in general, but also toward themselves. What kills black people the most is other black people. Keep refusing any responsibility in this, and all you'll get is an ever-growing issue that will never end because you keep pointing at the wrong culprit.

[Datboi65]

@Guanfei "On the radar more" is the dumbest argument I have ever heard. Statistically speaking, 60% of all violent crime is done by 1% of the population. So you mean to tell me that of 330 million people, when 3.3 million people in a mix of all ethnicities are committing violence, that majority of the 45 million black people are criminals? Even if they did commit more than others, when you look at the bigger picture, it is so insignificant compared to the black population. Institutionalization of the youth, childhood trauma and the school to prison pipeline is one factor of a multi variant equation that gives rise to that. If you wanna tell me that they are somehow genetically predisposed to be more criminal, you are a white supremacist.

@Guanfei

We should bring back hanging as a means of punishment for murder and rape, then we'd see who's lives mattered most.

[Datboi65]

@Wade12345 You sure you wanna do that buddy? White men are overrepresented when it comes to rape.

[Wade12345]

I don't care if a murderer or rapist is a purple dinosaur, they should be punished according to the crime. Murder and rape are irreversible wrongs, so the punishment should be irreversible.

[Datboi65]

@Wade12345 Don't get my wrong. I believe in the death penalty. For those idiots in the comments that try and say it's only black people, I just want them to have the same energy when it's one of theirs.

[boggboss]

Yet white people are the higher number of the population so its not surprising on that alone plus there has been bad blood between how black communities view the police to the point many won't call if something has happened to them when people say black lives matter it dont invalidate any other life if u give money to 1 charity over another it dont mean the others causes are irrelavent

[Asker]

But it's not a black only issue. There's a lot of black issues but this isn't one of them. Black Lives Matter only cares about black liberals they don't care about black conservatives, black people in the hood they do whatever they can do to spin the story to fit their agenda.

[boggboss]

I'm not a part of black lives matter and I agree that it's not a black inly issues but I dont see any groups attempting to fix the issue in the same outspoken manner so we work with what we have if it manages to do some good I'm not gonna complain if it dont then qe are back to squire 1

[Asker]

Well black people like to make everything their issue lately. But police brutality isn't a black only issue I know many blacks don't care or know that white people get killed by police too but to pretend it's only black people is false.

[boggboss]

Yet I'm not them and can't talk for them as I have a understanding its not yet I know equally many whites that claim racism as thing thing no longer exists or happens in current day

[Asker]

But there's also the same amount of blacks that say they can't be racist and hate white people gulit free

[boggboss]

And I think people that claim this are retards u don't fight 1 extream with another as it just creates more issues

[Lionman95]

I think is the kind of creating a victimhood and neglecting the problem in its case being unarmed people being shot the police.
The problem isn´t all lives matter isn´t a valid statement, there problem is rather that was founded as some kind of counter-movement to blm making it look a try to disregard the problem that black people are often times shot by the police.
The problem is therefore rather the date of coming out as a movement than in the actual statement.

[FunkyMonkee]

IT'S RACIST!!
But seriously, folks. I see nothing wrong with it at all!! And, have ya noticed, it's always racist people calling EVERYTHING else racist? They've even come to the conclusion a few weeks ago that not being racist is racist!! I'm NOT making this shit up!!

[Asker]

It's not racist because black lives matter is based on police brutality which not only blacks deal with.

[FunkyMonkee]

Exactly, as YOU already said, more whites are killed by cops than blacks so, what's all the fuss about? AND, saying that ONLY black lives matter IS racist!! How do you combat racism WITH racism? You're just trying to put out a fire with gasoline!

[Agape93]

I'm honestly just tired of everyone making police corruption a racial thing as a whole. Race doesn't matter here. It's the fact that we have thousands of people who can and do murder, rob, rape, abuse and frame people with little to no repercussions of any real consequences or justice. THAT is the issue.

[jshm2]

It means you haven't got your head out your ass and can't read the police's own reports where they are down as killing more Blacks than anyone else.

Statistically, you are three times more likely to be killed by a US cop, than a terrorist.

[Asker]

That's not true

[goaded]

The former is certainly true if you adjust for population size, the latter is just true. American police shoot and kill 1,000 people a year, so they've killed more than 9/11 in the last 5 years.

The name isn’t an issue for me. However, I’d like an establishment to care about every person of every race. So that I’m looked after, no more or less than anyone else.

[Waldoe]

Because... Blacks are only 10% of the population... they are MORE than 10% of people killed by police.
If a town of 5000 had 20 Black citizens, and in 1 year 20 Blacks were killed (all of them) and 30 Whites were killed, would we be even?

[Dargil]

What's wrong with saying all lives matter when 40% of the Black population is killed by abortion?

[Twalli]

It's the idea that there is a double standard with blacks. It's not that other lives don't matter, rather it's that blacks feel like their lives aren't at the same level of concern as other lives.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely nothing, its just racists who only cares about black people and noone else who has issues with all lives matters. Just ignore those hypocrites

[joeldalton]

Nothing is wrong with it.

[OddBeMe]

You’re shifting focus from black shootings.
