Do BLM or ALM?

[RINO Tom]

I was coming here to say what several people have already said: saying "Black Lives Matter" is not saying "ONLY Black Lives Matter" or that "Black Lives Matter MORE" ... if that's what you think, the entire point of the saying went so far over your head it's not worth debating.

Agreed. "All Lives Matter" is sinister in that it 1) Makes it seem as though BLM believes that white lives don't matter and 2) Completely misses the point of the movement.

Every life does matter, but it's only black people who die and have society at large ignore their deaths or dismiss it as "He probably deserved it." Innocent white people get killed by police, but when it happens the officer doesn't get letters thanking him for killing white people and a defense fund set up by supporters.

Try bringing up that White people die as a result of police brutality to a BLM activist. It's debatable whether their response would indicate that white lives don't matter, it would certainly indicate that White lives should never be talked about and if you do, even in support of police reform, you are racist.

When innocent White people get killed by police, the media hardly covers it at all.

If you're bringing up "But white people get shot by police too!" to a BLM activist, you are almost certainly trying to diminish the movement or trying to imply that they don't care about anyone but black people, so it's easy to see why they get upset. And at this point in time, black deaths by police shootings are getting news coverage BECAUSE of the protests that are sure to come from it. If people who claim to be "All Lives Matter" ACTUALLY cared about other people's lives, they'd come out and protest when a white person gets shot. But instead the only thing ALMers do is bitch and moan about black people.
