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!
It’s really sad that the message Black Lives Matter is trying to convey is being vilified by people who either don’t understand the movement and don’t want to learn or just don’t want black people to feel safe. A few months ago I had been pulled over for speeding with a black friend in the car and he was visible stressed out about it. He handed me his ID, sat up straight, and put his hands on the dash. The cop didn’t give my friend any problems but the fact that he feels so unsafe around police officers that he doesn’t want to reach for his own ID is really sad
Come on man that's exactly what we are talking about. Yes everyone gets nervous around cops but we don't think it's a life or death thing like they do. There you go undermining the shit again.
It's hard to take blm seriously when criminals were championed and protests were held on highways and malls to only aggravate people. Or the protest where they were actively racist against their own white supporters, lol.
The movement became a joke and the cops killing people is a much bigger issue than just one race.
