That's unfortunate and disappointing, because my position is what Black Lives Matter is actually about.

Quote:I was responding to the cartoon and saying that black lives matter divides what could be an organised group protesting against police brutality into an organization that gives preferential treatment to victims based on racial characteristics rather than dealing with individual circumstances.

There is an obvious difference between "not being discriminated against" (which is what BLM is about) and receiving "preferential treatment" (which is not what BLM is about). Again, in order to argue against the BLM position, you're going to acknowledge the beliefs that are actually held by people who support BLM, and then if you wish to dispute the validity of the movement, provide evidence that black people aren't being discriminated against. Nobody is asking for victims to receive preferential treatment based on racial characteristics.
