"All Lives Matter" is the so-called response to "Black Lives Matter".

Folks- no one said the lives of others did not matter and ONLY black lives matter.

For those of you that don't understand--Black Lives Matters is essentially saying 'Black Lives Matter(also)'

Blacks Lives that are taken at the hands of white or black cops, white or black civilians are not valued as much as a white life.

A poor black kid gets killed and a middle class white woman gets killed. The life/death of the middle class white woman will be valued more. Maybe not YOU as an individual thinks this way but generally speaking, law enforcement, medical professionals, lawyers/justice system does not value the lives of blacks.

So, Black Lives Matter, also..........not Only Black Lives Matter.


Got it?

Black lives matter if and only if the killer is a white man, white Hispanic or white Asian. If it's black on black? Nobody, not even blacks, gives a crap.

If a white, white Hispanic or white Asian got killed, even by a black? Nobody cares either since the liberal media know that those people are not as naive and they can't stir up racial conflicts.

False.

Maybe you don't care but a lot of people do. The issue is, because you don't care, you assume everyone thinks like you. There are over 300,000,000 people in this country, you couldn't possibly say none of them cares.

I disagree...Hitler and the Nazi were worthless. Stalin was a piece of ****. I'm sure there are some dictators and warlords in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa that waste good air. Pedophiles, murders, and rapists lives don't matter. It should be All Lives Matters as long as[list]...

If you want to play word again, sure. You are right.

I believe people say what they mean, and mean what they say, just as I endeavor to do.
Therefore, when "they" shout (or paint on a sign) BLACK LIVES MATTER I believe that is exactly what they mean, no more, no less.
When I say ALL LIVES MATTER, that is exactly what I mean.
My life is just as important to me, my wife, my children, and my grandchildren as any black person's life is to their family!
ALL LIVES MATTER!

Yes, I believe Trump had it right when he stated ALL LIVES MATTER. And if anyone would like to disagree with him, than go for it. I don't think you'll find a receptive audience for your message though.

When people state Blue Lives Matter do you take offense?
