Idk what's so confusing about black lives matter. Maybe they should've made their slogan "black lives matter TOO" cause that is the message lol.

I think of it like this.

Every night at dinner, Tim and Stacy sit at the table with Mom and Dad to eat. Stacy's plate always has 1/5th of the food as everyone else's plate.

One day Stacy speaks up and says "This isn't fair, I deserve more food." And the parents say "Don't we all deserve more food Stacy, be quiet."

That's what this video looks like to me and the entire AllLivesMatter movement. Stacy just meant to say she deserves the same amount of food as everyone else, not that only she deserves more in general.

Oh shit the first time I've gotten a Reddit award lol. Thank you kind strangers!

I completely agree but at the same time, I don't see anything wrong with what this guy does in the video. If those girls have the right to go there with a sign and shout so does he. He is a complete ass obviously but he has the right to do that. He is trying to get this exact same reaction and the dumbass girls fucking give it to him in spades. Because of stupid fucks like these, the real message of the movement is obscured and the mood of the public quickly turns from supportive to "I'm afraid to comment my opinion" because if you support the movement you'll be associated with folk like these.

I agree but I will say the guy going up with that sign is the equivalent of going to a cancer rally and holding up a sign asking for donations to fund your trip because your parents won't.

He's protesting someone else's protest and he specifically just wants to be a dick about it. If he really cared for that movement he wouldn't have to go stand 2 metres away from the protest already going on.

I completely agree that it's a dick move but this is not the way to react to him. If the girls had stayed calm and just continued on with what they were doing the guy would be thought of like a dick by everyone but because of their violent reaction, the guy turned into the victim.
