Okay. Yes. Black people are saying they don't care if every other race on earth catches fire, they wouldn't put them out. They just don't care. In fact, they want them to die. That's what's being said.

Ok, alright. I think I'm good here. Everyone who is reasonable can read what I posted.

BlackLivesMatterAllLivesMatter
BlackLivesMatterAllLivesMatter
BlackLivesMatterAllLivesMatter

Alright, last time. Tell me, is every "category" in American equally mistreated? Are whites, blacks, men, women, gays, straights, christians, muslims, native born, immigrants, old, young, tall, short, fat, thin, handicapped, etc, etc, treated the same?

No. No they are not. That's a fact. There is discrimination. Some groups of people are treated worse. People in those communities bringing attention to that fact, is not saying it doesn't matter when it happens to others. But if it happened to everyone equally, everyone would be complaining about it.

You don't have to be anti Y to be pro X, especially when the problems of community X are barely existent in community Y. The disease is not spread equally, the treatment should not be spread equally. Especially when certain groups get better treatment.

Simple as that. The whole " what about me" or "not all" talk is so frustrating.
Yes because finding ways of coming together wouldn't suit the agenda. We must be separated into victim and oppressor classes so we know who to shame and who to coddle.

The militarization of the police force is a problem that affects Americans, not just black Americans. Yes it manifests itself more strongly, or at least more spectacularly, in the black community but if you want to make real progress on an issue like this, you're going to want people to be united, not at each others' throats.

The militarization of police is an issue. But that's not what people are protesting in the streets for right now. Your whole, what about me, pay attention to me, give he half the attention for something that barely affects me and I'm not even really concerned about, is a distraction. You're just trying to demean this movement, and something tells me if I were to go through your post history I wouldn't find you commenting on the misconduct of police save for when it's against black people, and black people bring it up.

The movement demeans itself by being exclusionary. Without a people united standing behind it, it'll end up going the way of the OWS movement, which started out meaning well and then turned in to a laughingstock. That won't be good for anyone. You won't shame me, or many others, into supporting these particular protests, but you might get more people behind a movement that actually gets at the root of the larger problem. You seek to make people like myself in to part of the problem, which is naturally going to put them on the defensive.

It's not exclusionary, any more than drawing attention to domestic violence against women. Does it happen to men? Yes, but the vast majority of domestic violence, and sexual violence, and rape, and harassment, is against women.

So by your logic, pretty much every organization aimed at reducing domestic violence and rape, is exclusionary because it doesn't pay equal attention to when it happens to men, and if that's the case, I seriously doubt anyone will miss you, because you can't make it all about you. It's endemic in among one category, but you won't support it unless you can get half the attention, because if it's not all about you, who cares.

Believe it or not, disenfranchised minorities can get equal treatment without pandering to people like you. There are people who care about what happens to others. It's happened before, and it will happen again. Jesus Christ. The narcissism on this guy.

You wanna make provide the biggest relief? Well then let's first on whose suffering the greatest. Because it isn't spread equally. I'm sorry if to you, that sounds like blacks, or gays, or latinos, immigrants, the handicapped, the poor, etc, is just trying to bring you down.
