Do BLM or ALM?

[Kingpoleon]

Well?

Black Lives Matter. Anyone who tries to argue "WLM" is ignorant and needs to learn a lesson on social justice.

BLM is where the entire Dem party will be in less than 10 years.

When the phrase "Black Lives Matter" is uttered, what is really being said is "Black Lives Matter, Too". The failure for them to make that critical distinction has certainly hurt their image - that black lives have as much value as white lives, or any other lives in general - but in their defense, most of the bitter cretins complaining about it in the first place would have just found some other angle to deflect to had that been the case in the first place.

The fact the get upset when someone like Bernie says ALM, proves they are a racist terrorist group.

This whole conversation completely bastardizes set theory.

I don't think you understand what the terms racist or terrorist mean.

You are positively fycking bonkers. Again, the purpose of BLM is to state that their lives are equal to that of everyone else. Nobody is in denial about the importance of other people's lives. That is not something that gets debated in every facet of societal, cultural and political discussion. Therefore, to deflect to "WELL ALL LIVES MATTER" is to subconsciously take the focus off of what is actually a crisis and what matters, and instead, dilute the situation by assigning a meaning to the statement that wasn't the case in the first place. You're saying that there is no problem to address, or that the problems other racial groups are facing are equal. That's ludicrous.

The reason why saying 'black lives matter' is important is because too often in this country black lives don't matter.

Wow, I came here to write exactly what Griffin said. Of course all lives matter, but that's not a statement that needs to be made because blacks face all the same issues as whites plus many, many others in more extreme fashions where their lives are directly threatened.

When people like Bernie and O'Malley say ALM, they are not being offensive, but when the GOP Facebook/Yahoo people go out of their way to correct BLM with that message, they show once again just how ignorant they are of the issues real Americans actually face. Almost as if they can't acknowledge anyone has it worse than them on top of the racist tones. #SouthernWhiteLivesMatter

ignore the reality that more whites than blacks are killed by cops


BLM is a terrorist organization that calls for the murder of police officers

"" just how ignorant they are of the issues real Americans actually face""


And what issues are those that BLM is trying to communicate?

Yes, because nominal - as opposed to relative - measurement of a metric is the absolute, objective way to evaluate a situation. Are you really this stupid, or...?

I better never hear you try to cite stats that say "black people are criminals" or whatever, because by your logic, whites commit the largest amounts of most crimes and therefore are the most prone to criminal behavior.

Nah, you're being a hypocrite, for exactly the same reasons my edited post above shows. You "patriots" love to talk about how blacks are more prone to commit crime because of relative metrics (pretty sure you yourself have done this) but you want to cite nominal metrics here to back up your point. You're not "using liberal logic"; you're being an ignorant dip-shit and just got caught in the act.

Conservative America is a terrorist organization that calls for the murder of the President and other elected officials, champions violent overthrow of the federal government and then sends its re-programmed ideologues into schools and churches to smear kids' brains on the walls

Thank you for including two joke options.

The forum always has a classic 65/35 divide on issues of "liberalism" and "freedom" that don't directly invade the precious and privileged little bubbles of upper-middle-class white boys. It is polls like these that show exactly who constitutes the membership of this forum - sickening that a less than insignificant sum of "liberals" and "progressives" think "All Lives Matter". Jesus Christ.

I see you haven't denied the claims. After all, if literally anyone who has expressed support for BLM can be classified as part of its "organization" by your metric (which is literally the only way you can make such a claim), then all of the preppers, neo-Nazis, conspiracy theorists, gun-toting ideologues and other assorted cretins are most certainly going to be classified as part of yours.

Black Lives Matter. Any other answer shows a profound delusion and willful ignorance of America's history, social inequalities, and broken criminal justice system.

It's pretty easy to sort out the real progressives from the pretend progressives. The real ones are always trying to help identify and overcome social inequalities; the fake ones are always eager to trot out their "statistics" and "logic" from the Institute of My Ass to prove how ending the mass incarceration of black Americans (or any other social injustice) would be totally infringing on the freedoms of suburban middle-class straight white guys.
