So answer my question accordingly or just replace ALM with white supremacist
You are acknowledging your dishonesty.

ALM is a simple response to the racism of the BLM organisation.

So again, most black people are intelligent and recognise this.

That is an honest question. Why not just ask that instead of the dishonest question.

Why would anyone be friends with a racist?

BTW, everyone understood what you were trying to do

That basically leaves it solely as a retaliatory response to something you just dont want to here.

This is backed up by the fact that these same people are fine with saying Blue Lives Matter instead of All Lives Matter(since you know, All Lives Matter would include police), and since they didnt attack Asians for saying Asian Lives matter.

Every now and then you surprise me and have genuine conversations. Im hoping this is one.
BLM is a racist organisation. Not a slogan. As you know.

I said homophobia, this is exactly why I split up my post, so you can know exactly what im responding to, and somehow you still screwed up.





You stated the possibility of being seen as such based on what comes out of your mouth.



LOL, we have barely had a surface level conversation. I havent accused you specifically of being anything. You responded to me and purposefully played obtuse in those responses.

If you cant have an honest conversation with a stranger over the internet about surface level arguments like what All lives matters means, then im 100% sure you dont bring these subjects up in front of black friends.
You are deeply dishonest and disingenuous. You aren't interested in honest conversation. Nearly every sentence you write is a lie, deflection, or gaslighting. Why not give honesty a go? It may work better for you.

no, i acknowledged yours. Either you are completely oblivious, or you fully understand that I view ALM as racist just as you view BLM as racist.

Since you understood the point I was operating from, and chose to ignore it. that makes you the dishonest one.

BLM(the statement) =/= BLM (the organization)

again, yall have had 8+ years to understand the difference and at this point, you are just choosing to remain obtuse.

just like ever race, most members are indeed intelligent. We dont allow BS like yours to go unchecked.

Your arrogant, attacking post shows why people like me don’t want to risk speakly freely in front of people like you. In your contempt for people who don’t submit to the liberal narrsrive, you twist things around to accuse them of racism, homophobia, etc.
Well said Wish I could rep you again.

This is why Democrats cannot be your friend. It is a Black people organization seeking criminal justice, it is definitely not just a slogan. 55% of Americans support their cause.

Yep. I learned that from watching my mother get into screaming matches with her brother (my uncle). He was conservative while she was a liberal. Those screaming matches taught me to not do that with others.

So true. If the people behind the IDEA of black lives being important (as opposed to the racist BLM organization), they would have divorced themselves from that rabid hate group and picked a new slogan to emphasize that distinction. That they did not speaks volumes.
