For anyone that wonders why people feel the need to say "black lives matter," it's because MILLIONS of racist, intolerant, hateful people in this country still feel that black people are less-than. Here is an example of that racism and hatred.

This video is simply a white man holding up a BLM sign in Harrison, Arkansas, and he records the reactions of people driving past. I can't embed the video because there are so many N-word comments.

I can't imagine how black people feel when they see things like this.

Maybe that’s what we should do with a criminal who committed a capital crime and received the death penalty.

You beat me to it...

The video wouldn't last long. It would probably fit into a GIF file.

Bull. He's holding the sign up in the town that is the HQ for the KKK. What do you expect?



If he held that up in my town he would get praised by many folks.



All lives matter.

Someone actually did do this. They held up a BLM sign in a more affluent area and in general was just ignored.


They held up an ALM sign in a predominantly poorer neighborhood and was almost killed. One person actually came up to him and warned him that he was likely going to get hurt.

Saying "All Lives Matter" gets translated into F you to African Americans. So do it at your own risk.
