People who say all lives matter are the problem and tend to be liars by their inability to say specific members of the number set matter. If you cannot say that black lives matter than you cannot say all lives matter without being a liar. The people who want to say all lives matter are denying that police brutality and criminal justice discrimination is a black lives matter and anybody who is saying all lives matter are just trying to distract from the current matter at hand and defend the status quo.

If you want say that black lives matter than don't say that all lives matter because you obviously don't believe it. Nothing worse than being a hypocrite so just own it.

It is no mistake that the people who say all lives matter are authoritarian cheer leaders who wish to keep the perceived benefits from others being treated poorly.

Quote (Gospel according to Luke)

1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.
3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep. 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Yeah, it's never: "Yes, black lives matter but i wanna say all lives matter too". It's always: "No, not black lives matter, all lives matter!". Those who can't spot the difference are either dumb or purposefully blind. It's kinda like when people derail womens' rights issues by digging up a mens' one.



Somehow i get the same feeling when someone says "look i'm a good boy". They don't like the Democrat plantation (a phrase they used in the vid) but they don't mind the Republican one :D

All lives matter, but black people more at the hands of cops so black lives matter too.

All this BLM crap reminds me of other groups and accomplishments that a lot of us go through in life. Let's take something most will understand... let's say football.

Scenario...

Just for sake of argument, let's say all the Dall starting quarterbacks from Dallas, were traded to the Steelers.
How well do you think they'd be received if they ran around chanting Dallas Quarterbacks Matter?

Answer... that wouldn't be well received.


Since the caveman days, there have been rules for members of an outside group, joining the "local" group, or tribe or w/e. You wouldn't be well received if you ran around all day saying: Unk clan matters, after you just joined the Oog clan.

When outsiders join a group, the smart move is to learn the new group's ways, THEN after you're accepted, THEN show your individuality.
I think this is the main issue that a lot of folks have with BLM.

Every American (except a small percentage of idiots, understand that BLM. BUT, having it rubbed in the faces of those that have already accepted you... has the tendency to make people do a double take.
It's like... wtf? Are you trying to tell us you're better, or we're NOT as important. It doesn't matter WHAT your reason for saying BLM is, it's just not gonna be taken well by the majority group you've been trying to gain equal treatment in.

We could leave race entirely out of this... How well would IBM react if a group of say... interns ran around saying... Young Folk Matter, because they didn't yet... receive the same treatment as those with seniority.


This is why I think that blacks are doing more harm than good for their own cause/desires w/e, with this BLM crap.

Quote (Santara @ Jun 7 2020 03:54am)

For when people say all lives matter.



Jesus Himself acknowledged that while all lives do matter, the one in peril needs special attention. That's why a shepherd left his flock to attend the one in distress. I have a hard time believing that people think black people are inherently bad. But they are in distress. And they've been telling us for years, and no one listened. When someone says #blacklivesmatter, they aren't saying the others don't. They are saying their lives matter TOO. So don't get upset when Colin Kaepernick kneels during the national anthem, ask yourself why he feels the need to do so.
