Where did I say, to excuse discrimination?

There's always an object for discrimination because we keep excluding others when we focus on non-discrimination. We only ever focus on one group at a time. When we only focus on one group, we de-focus on all other groups.
This is where we get the next group to discriminate against. It's one of the groups we weren't focusing on the last time. What'll be 50 years from now? Redheads, tall people, Lithuanians?

Time to STOP focusing so narrowly. Time for wide angle. Let's focus on everyone, this time. Let's learn from our mistakes.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep
15 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.

You excuse it BECAUSE you won't take it seriously.

I know you don't give a rat's ass for the Bible, but the teachings of Jesus hold some valuable insights:

Can you not see the analogous nature of looking to fix this problem now, because it's the most pressing?

Throughout history, there's always a group saying: xxx lives matter. In their present, it seems to make sense. But then 2-5 generations later, there'll be the next group saying the same... ad infinitum.

Now if everyone had run around 2000 years ago saying ALL lives matter... we'd be a lot better off today than we are. Instead, we're just onto the next group in a long line of groups.
Focusing on only one group at a time, will just make this go on forever.

Let's use the rain forest vs all forests example.
So what, we save the rain forests but cut down the hard wood forests. Then we save the hardwood forests and cut down the fruit trees. Etc., etc., etc. When will it ever stop.

Here's an idea... let's try ALL Lives Matter. Then in 50 years we won't be onto the next group of people... we''ll have succeeded, once and for all.

LOL. OK. :D

if someone ran around saying all lives matter 2000 years ago their own village would just hang them for a witch.

but sure, stick to all live matter nonsense as if black lives matter is in anyway against that. it makes idiots easier to spot. i live all lives matter rhetoric, turns the haystack into a needle pile.
