Corrik 09/08/17 7:41:50 PM #372:	What a long post, DYL. No one really is against the Black Lives Matter message as it is intended (though many would argue it unnecessary). It is the vagueness of the name and intent. By all accounts, BLM isn't a group with a hierarchy supposedly (though they have leaders) but a group of people who just meet with a common idea. It is easy to transpose the idea to what you want it to mean. You have BLM marchers with signs to kill cops or fuck the police or so on. Which, according to the actual message, is not what is meant. However, we have seen rallies where signs were present. I am sure people were there for other means and that sign doesn't represent their wishes (marching at Unite the Right comparisons possibly?) As a collective group. However, you have a conservative media who easily takes that image with "Black Lives Matter" and there you go. You have the narrative. The typical person doesn't debate politics online or read up on half of shit. Most of the politics you get is what your local news plays and facebook (let's be honest). The names vagueness easily is able to be labeled to many as an affront. My grandmother retorts All Lives Matter when she sees someone say Black Lives Matter on her facebook. And, I know she literally means that all lives matter not just Black. Now, you are arguing there is no message behind either. That is false. The message behind Blue Lives Matter is to support the police and treat them with respect so they can do their job and because they are there to help you in times of need. One major retort to BLM from the BlueLM is that they have signs saying to kill cops and fuck the police when they would absolutely call the police first if their life was in danger to help and protect them. It is again a retort to the mindset that BLM has been labeled as a group that is anti-cops and/or a group that is seen as one that is one of Black Power. You can argue whether or not this is deserved. However, when you have a claimed BLM activist killing cops and saying he wants to kill WHITE police officers specifically, you start to let that narrative run rampant. It doesn't really matter what BLM is or stands for. It matters what people who say Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter THINK it stands for. You automatically assume it is from a negative, racist place (which I won't lie I could see racists trying to blend in behind it), but you fail to see how it could be from a positive, supportive place. Blue Lives Matters doesn't mean go shoot Black people. It means support the cops, respect them, understand they have stressful jobs and to give them the benefit of the doubt at first if something goes wrong. All Lives Matter doesn't mean to fuck yourself Black people. It means no race is better than any other and all lives matter and should matter and races shouldn't be differentiated in regards to it. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik <cite>Corrik posted [p:886269727] in Politics C...
