About the "Lives Matter" Movement
 

The central idea behind Black Lives Matter is legitimately valid, but it comes off as racist, and sometimes, violent.

Blue Lives Matter: Again, great central idea, but I think it also secretly promotes the idea that white cops are more important than black citizens.

Lastly, White Privilege and All (White) Lives Matter are just,,, inherently racist.

John Sellers' Lives Matter!

I think that the word 'too' is implicit in the phrase and that it is very poignant.

I'm saying that all the movements are now corrupt.

I had a particularly corrupt movement just this morning, John. I think you're onto something here.

Meh.

fucker.

:lol:

Fundamental problems exist with those soundbytes: each assumes all blacks are same, all 'blues' are same, and all whites are same. Extremist rhetoric reasons that way. That simply makes many emotional and sometimes angry.

In a tiny minority of cases, some blacks and some 'blues' "do not matter". Some cops become an enemy of people they are suppose to protect. Some blacks are violent criminals. No soundbyte accurately discriminates between a righteous majority and a few bad eggs. Every conclusion must be made on a 'case by case' basis.
