All Lives Matter

[Thumpalumpacus]

... this sort of thing is why double facepalm.

So whites are more racist or are blacks and whites equally racist? Please educate me. Blacks are disadvantaged compared to whites so it makes more sense for them to be more likely to be racist. Yes, there are still many racist whites, but times are changing. Obama was elected, twice. Muslims and blacks are also more homophobic than whites. Now, if you see that statement and want to take it as me putting down blacks and Muslims, then fine, you can choose to interpret it that way, but in reality I want to be their ally, and I really don't like seeing anti-black racism or bigotry and attacks against Muslims who have to deal with way too much shit (with shithead Trump making it worse). I want things to be better for blacks and Muslims, but I'm not going to ignore reality so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. If something seems to be true to me then I'm going to say it.

You got the facepalm because you made a statement of "fact" that is questionable, and didn't bother to back it up with, you know, facts.

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?

No doubt he's against the idea of declaring "endangered species", too. After all, those pesky spotted owls are just whining about not having a place to roost.
