All Lives Matter

[bennyboy]

The "Black Lives Matter" movement is only concerned with black lives.

That is a fact, though it is also a fact that black lives are more prone to violence from the police force than white lives.

What concerns me, however, is the segregation of the movement, especially when you can do a google search to find out that the BLM movement practically does not want white people to help them out at all.

Doctor Martin Luther King accepted the help from white people, yet this BLM movement seems to be reticent of it.

Racism exists in the BLM movement.

Those black bastards!  Who are they to look prejudicially toward white people!?

(when they've been pushed down for hundreds of years, denied equal opportunity, and, not that rarely, shot by white police officers)

Well, I guess if THEY are racist, then YOUR racism is perfectly justifiable, huh?


Look, dude, you've been told so many times that it is only willful ignorance that you refuse to get it: "Black lives matter" because it is black lives which are asymmetrically threatened in our culture. In order to establish balance and equality, we must protect those lives which are ACTUALLY IN JEOPARDY. It's not a subtle difference, is it? Really? Do ya think so, actually?
