Popular Post HandsomeGorilla Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post #3 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It's not that all lives don't matter, or that black lives matter more, that's not the point. I honestly dislike the verbiage, though. It turned into its own monster. In my opinion, 'Black Lives Matter, Too' would have gone over a little more smoothly. Hell who am i kidding? Someone would have to still argued about it. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly ,black lives are as important as any other race.its not about race ,it's people ,people of different races can have different opinions.if people stopped talking about skin colour,and just refered to them as people,the world would be a better place. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a knee was not about being subservient to anyone except maybe God. Taking a knee was a way to show peaceful intentions and for those kneeling, integrity and good will even while protesting what they perceive to be the false veneer of American society. Of course you guys used to take a knee in the old days for other reasons, I can see the confusion. We did not do that here so much. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zep73 Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post #8 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Quote "I can't breathe" is a slogan associated with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States. The phrase is derived from the words of Eric Garner in 2014. The phrase was also uttered by several other African-American men (Anton Black, Javier Ambler, Derrick Scott, Manuel Ellis, Byron Williams, and George Floyd) shortly before they died of positional asphyxiation during their arrests between 2018 and 2020, respectively, as a result of excessive force by police officers. The phrase is now used in worldwide protest against police brutality in the United States and against the lack of police accountability due to qualified immunity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_can't_breathe It's not about color. It's a protest against the careless police brutality in the US, that is mainly affecting black people. "Black lives matter" is just a way for the black community to say: Stop killing us! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the comment is made that all lives matter, that is very true statement if that is the real purpose the individual is using when they make the comment. However, for some people there real concern isn't that all lives matter it is just a response they use to counter the statement Black lives matter and vise versa. You see that is where this problem with these statements begin, in far to many cases the people making either statement are only doing so for there individual rebellion against the Main stream. In my opinion until people are making these comments sincerely with the intent of true concern for human life and nothing Political the words are not worth being spoken, because as things are in America and around the World peoples actions prove the words are meaning less and that is a crying shame.

If they want to have the maximum "bang for the buck" perhaps they should've begun this campaign in Chicago instead of basing it literally on a lie out of Ferguson MO.? The reason that slogan is tainted is the obvious fact that it is ALL about RACE. If a black man is killed by a white man, neighborhoods are apt to burn from indignation. Let 50 or a 100 black men die at the hands of another black man... crickets. If the leaders of the black community don't stand against whole neighborhoods being burned down and in fact, sympathize with the vandalism, maybe black folk need new leaders?

But, what you have highlighted is the negativity that people are making comments about here, it may have been to your benefit if you had read what others had posted before you posted your thoughts. Now, let me clear I am not telling you how to do anything, I am only making a suggestion that may benefit you in the future. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerBright19 Posted June 20, 2020 #18 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) All races are the same. The slogan 'Black lives matter' creates the false impression that they want to be judged as a different race in exactly the same way that a 'White lives matter' slogan would be regarded. How can we all treat each other the same when the media keeps trying to distance each race with the 'Them and Us' approach. e,g, All Lives Matter sounds inclusive, but black or white lives matter sounds incredibly divisive. By attempting to stop racial division they are indirectly causing greater division by separating their entire race from everyone else. e.g. Just as gay people go on gay pride parades. They want to be treated as equals and be inclusive with everyone else, but then they go on parades which tells everyone they want to be seen as different, which naturally means they will be judged different. Imagine a White pride parade in London under the pretence that they want to be treated as equals and want people to not draw their attention to their race. Doesn't quite work if they keep drawing attention to it and enforcing the false concept that they are different.

I said that I didn't understand your comments, first I did not refer to anyone by color or race. My comments were solely based upon the statement All Lives matter, and truthful Morgan Freeman has nothing to do with your topic. You asked a question and made a statement, I gave a response that was not disrespectful or directed at you personally in anyway, and then you come back with the above comments. I will ask you again what purpose do you comments serve in a response to the comments I have made, if you can't answer that question, I will just let it go and remain confused about where you comments are coming from.

It would be great if we all were able to live by that standard. Do we say that, close our eyes and do nothing more? Maybe we can just hope without doing anything that it will all come out fine and in a hundred or a thousand years, all races will not only be the same but treated the same. It is better than it was in the US when I was growing up, but it is not a sea change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted June 20, 2020 #24 Share Posted June 20, 2020 IMO, 'Black Lives Matter' is the most whiny poor-me victimization name they could have come up with. It turns me off from the get-go! On the other hand it isn't even politically correct to call out the black community for disproportionate amount of crimes and social problems. Somehow it is always because it is other people's fault and to suggest otherwise is also politically incorrect. Police are the wrong scapegoat here! I call it as I see it! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
