This BLM racial profiling nonsense is destined to collapse anyway, because ALL lives matter, and human life has the exact same priceless value, regardless of race. Only in America such things exist and are acceptable :/

They remind me of Gamergate. Whatever good intentions they started with have been completely overshadowed by the actions of some of their members. I don't think anyone can redeem the movement's name at this point.

This argument is so stupid. The phrase "Black Lives Matter" doesn't imply that only black lives matter; black lives are just the subject matter. Do you go to a cancer research organization and say, "BUT THE OTHER DISEASES MATTER TOO!" When your mom says, "I love your father!" Do you go up to her and say, "BUT YOU HAVE OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY TOO!" GTFO with that shit

I always thought there was an implied "too" or "also" at the end of the phrase. I don't see the movement as saying only black lives matter and pretending it does misses the point completely.

which in turn raises the question: why did they not add the 'too' when the activists associated with BLM originally created it? didn't they see that coming?

Black Lives Matter was a flawed movement from the start from them kickstarting off of Michael Brown, who seemingly looked guilty from having robbed a store just moments before the event (though Police Officer Wilson was said to have lied about the moment of the shooting later on), and not including "Too" in the hashtag. Literally every successful social awareness or civil rights movement is built off inclusiveness. You can't win the masses over if you're alienating them.

BLM is a domestic terrorist group and has no strong leader to unify it.

Forgot one of the chapter heads (maybe in Charlotte, NC?) but bitch couldnt get through a top 10 list without making racist statements against whites. This is after shes asking white people exclisively to give up their assets to black people (also exclusively). Cant post it or Ill be modded for racism lol. Not gonna chance it. I know black people can be racist towards whites but not sure if mods here agree with that lol.

A group that turns a blind eye and lets someone like that take a position of high power will make lots of enemies and wont last long.

The civil rights movement was largely considered a victory for blacks, despite multiple groups of people benefitting. The big difference is they werent blaming white people and asking for reperations, white peoples houses and their bank account info.

They wanted equality and to enjoy things like voting, and not drinking from separate water fountains. People thought it was a fair request and a step in the right direction.

Guess you could manage to fuck it up and not kill anyone and itd still fit the definition.

I bring this up as its relevant to 2-3 years ago in Texas if I remember right, where BLM affiliates started shooting at cops, cops take cover and shoot back and the media is all OMFG more cops killing black people!!

Doesn't mean you can't adapt. The moment someone says "what about our lives?", they should have pivoted to #BlackLivesMatterToo.

Those peeps then turn around and say "it's OK to be white." Well what is it then, does that mean that it's not OK to be non-white? Considering that phrases inexplicable link to neo-nazis and hate groups that probably is what they mean when they say that.
