The left column is what people say, the right column is what they actually mean

Black Lives Matter = Black Lives Matter (too)
Blue Lives Matter = (only) Blue Lives Matter
All Lives Matter = All Lives Matter (but black lives less so)

Racism is bad so let's be racist against white people.

What did I post that's being racist against white people?

You basically said white lives don't matter.

That's a massive leap in logic. I didn't say all white people are racist. Just the ones that say "All Lives Matter" as a response to "Black Lives Matter." Most white people don't say that. At least not the ones with an adult level comprehension of such simple concepts.

blue lives matter, I haven't paid attention to, so I cannot comment. But I am willing to bet it's just another sweeping generalization you decided to come up with on the spot.

Way to generalize 3 different groups of people while at the same time making one group look "good" while the rest look "bad."

BLM types think police never ever abuse their authority against white people, even in areas of the country that are majority white. Nope, never ever happens.

They also forget about cops who are minorities themselves. It's like their brains fly out the window and they assume every cop is a white guy who goes to KKK meetings on the weekends.

I can't speak for everyone obviously, but I'm certain most would say it's black lives matter (also). It's the same issue with people who criticize BET because of it's name. They believe it's exclusive to black people and black artists, but they've featured artists, stars, and entertainers of different colors and backgrounds.

It's no more a generalization than what you're saying. Whether some people have acted like clowns about it or not, BLM stands for being against unjust police brutality against black people. If you're against it because of a few clowns, and need to invalidate it with ALM, then "Black lives matter less" is certainly how it feels.

And let's not be disingenuous, ALM started waaay before BLM ever started doing any stupid shit. People saw that people were saying BLM, and thought it was witty to say ALM because they were insecure. They essentially interpreted "White lives don't matter" from "Black lives matter."

If my dog got injured and is in the hospital, and I say "I hope my dog gets better" why would you tell me "you mean, you hope all dogs get better?" You basically just undermined my statement with a one that's completely irrelevant.

It's mostly tv shows and movies reruns now I believe, 106 and park may be done. I haven't had cable for a little more than a year now so I haven't bothered to check. Someone was trying to make an argument on how their hip-hop awards were racist a while back though, and didn't realize that the host and multiple nominees weren't even black.

I mean...when a shooting goes down from the cop, the cameras are off...and even then, cops take up for each other right or wrong.

In a way, there are a lot of bad cops out there. Don't try to make them some kind of hero of justice just because they have authority. In fact, we're human and giving authority to a human can turn....its like making Donald Trump the president of the United States.

I will agree when BLM first was a thing, the message was good and I supported it as a whole...

The problem is BLM's message has been poisoned by all the crazies on social media. The same thing happened to feminists, it's a good goal to strive for but the man hating women have poisoned that message too.

Since the media sensationalizes everything all we hear about is the bad and stupid shit BLM has done and that makes BLM look like a hate group even when it's core message (that seems lost these days) is something that is good.

Crazy and stupid people are FAR louder than normal sane individuals.

@DarkChozoGhost would you like to respond to this? Or would you rather keep perpetuating hateful stereotypes about white people?

From the article:

Some of the differences in the datasets are the result of having no universally accepted definition of mass shooting. The number of mass shootings a group tallies can vary dramatically based on how the term is defined.

Another tally, with a longer timeline and a different definition of mass shooting, found non-Hispanic white men make up 63 percent of these attacks. Under both definitions and datasets, white men have committed more mass shootings than any other ethnicity group.

From the article:

Some of the differences in the datasets are the result of having no universally accepted definition of mass shooting. The number of mass shootings a group tallies can vary dramatically based on how the term is defined.

Another tally, with a longer timeline and a different definition of mass shooting, found non-Hispanic white men make up 63 percent of these attacks. Under both definitions and datasets, white men have committed more mass shootings than any other ethnicity group.


You should probably post the WHOLE two paragraphs rather then cherry picking the couple sentences you like

Newsweek's claim is literally accurate. But it's worth noting the imprecision of this data, and the percentage of mass shootings by white men is lower than their share of the male population, according to Mother Jones.

It means a black wrong doesn't count if a debatable white wrong happens after it. And according to that one chick who helps run it, that black people deserve free stuff because they can't earn it. The whole thing is spun bullshit and no better than the alt-right saying "I'm not a white supremacist, I just want a country for white people only."

some people who say BLM believe black lives matter MORE, some people believe black lives matter TOO

some people who say all lives matter believe all lives matter equally, some people believe black lives less so

In the same way that some people prefer to drink warm water from a tap over cold water, sure.

They also do the same thing with mass shootings

White people commit more mass shootings total AND per capita


Wrong.

Lower per capita.

@DarkChozoGhost would you like to respond to this? Or would you rather keep perpetuating hateful stereotypes about white people?

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides... So there's that

This is the important part. It depends on the definition used for mass shootings. The article had some data sets that show white men committing more, and some showing they committed less.

Though my argument isn't who kills more or who has a higher propensity for becoming a mass shooter.

My argument is that BLM has been poisoned, much like feminism by the loud, hateful, ignorant, people that the media sensationalizes so the GOOD that supposed to come from such groups is overshadowed by the bad.

This doesn't make "all lives matter" an appropriate response, and doesn't make the people who say it any less ignorant.

More white people are killed by police than black people every year and the justice system is just as lenient...why is it more important to recognize the killing of black people?


Ah suddenly you have no idea what per capita stats are.


So youll admit Im right and have to resort to there are more white people so... arguments.


Yes, I don't have to resort to the right answer because that's how fucking statistical analysis works. No one was ever saying that white people don't have bad run-ins with cops, but per capita numbers have always been the point in these arguments. Just because you don't want to acknowledge the truth doesn't mean the truth isn't valid.


But they love per capita numbers when they want to bring up black crime statistics.


Right?

Why does the left switch back and forth between per capita and raw numbers whenever it's convenient?

Literally asking this question as Kineth is pointing out someone on the right doing EXACTLY that.
