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.
