#NotAllCops *rolls eyes*

We know it's #NotAllCops just like it's #NotAllchristians or #NotAllmuslims. This shit still goes on though, and if it really is #NotAllCops then why do so few cops have anything to say about it or want to push for reform?
#BlackLivesMatter as a slogan is harmless. I said this before, but it's petty seeing the amount of white people who seem so excluded that they had to tone police it and change it to #AllLivesMatter. There would be nothing wrong with #AllLivesMatter if these people had been saying that from the jump, but it's the way they suddenly start saying it just to blatantly finger-wag at a movement they feel excluded from because it's not about us. Society already knows our (white) lives matter, that's why it's "black lives matter" in the first place.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
