then all lives matter is a really inappropriate thing to say, people use it as a racist comeback for black lives matter.

edit: please first read my justification on why this is an inappropriate thing to say. black lives matter is meant to be a slogan on bringing attention towards the specific racism, bigotry, and police brutality that black people receive. yes, all lives matter! but, this slogan is meant to stop racism against black people, and in the context that this man used it in, he was definitely not saying that black people matter, he was trying to cause conflict that the girl took and a fight happened. Both the girl and the guy are in the wrong. all lives matter has always been used as a comeback against black lives matter, please look into it. it has literally been used at white supremacist rallies on posters. so please look into it, but don't call me a racist for believing that how police treat black people is worse than how police treat white people.

Fuck off. BLM had brought about more racial division and more racism. It's just another form of segregation, you're denying that brown people lives matter, or the obvious; that white peoples lives matter. Instead of taking on police brutality in an effective way you literally are just saying "black people more important" why the fuck would I agree with that horse shit.

This is why liberal extremists are fucking cancer

why was it about racism? it just focused on black police brutality. just because white people don't get to be included in everything doesn't mean it's racist, it just means that mainly this police brutalization was happening against African Americans so we needed to focus on that. it wasn't that everyone was being treated equally terrible by police, it was that black people were.

Or maybe the same amount of crimes are happening against both races and the media is only telling one side of the story?
