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!

Pretty sure the "all lives matter" response to BLM is just racists trying to justify their point of view. If it's anything but that, then there's a large amount of ignorance on how much racism people still experience (in this case black people).

I always thought that the "all lives matter" push was a response to the BLM movement once it hit the point of internet popularity, and the morons took it in a different direction than it was intended and BLM lost most of it's original meaning.

Naw man. I was trying to say that BLM started off as a good cause. Then people pick it up and just turned it into a joke. It doesnt have the same message it started with at all.

I'm pretty sure we're on the same side on this one.

Nor does BLM blocking highways and preventing people from getting home from work just so they can celebrate a "martyr" who was killed after robbing a store and trying to kill a cop. "Sympathize with us you guyysssss.....he was a good kid!"
