Is it not evident that all lives matter?

Yes, all lives matter. What has that got to do with the BLM slogan?

Is it not evident that black lives matter?

Aren't black lives included in all lives?

Indeed they are. So you agree that black lives matter.

How dense are you?

Wait. I thought you said that you weren't the one spewing insults here.

So let me ask again: Do you agree that if all lives matter, that means that black lives matter?

Yes, of course.

I feel like I'm the twelve year old and you're the Republican who keeps asking the kid if can vote.

Okay. Then we agree that black lives matter. I don't see what the problem is then.

So if I say "White Lives Matter", there's no problem.

And I feel like this is now a Ronald McDonald thread. You asked for it.

Not especially. White lives do, in fact, matter. It's not a slogan that is especially necessary right now, so I don't see the point.

I suppose I'm alone in thinking that when a white man makes the statement, "White Lives Matter", he is belittling the lives of those who are not white.

The fact that the opposite can be considered true does not enter the mind of most people because they are afraid of being considered racist.

Racism exists on all spectrums. Black people can be racists, and I just happen to find the slogan "Black Lives Matter" to be racist.

Heck, if Spanish people said "Mexican Lives Matter", I would find that racist as well, just as I find it racist when white people state, "White Lives Matter."

Because in the end, all lives matter.

I am not belittling anyone by stating that all lives matter due to the fact that I am including everyone in the reality that all of their lives are worth something.
