It's a name that you must agree with or be racist, even when the people they choose to be martyrs of the movement have dubious at best reputations. Sorry but not sorry. They ALMOST had me when Mike brown initially hit, he was a kid on his way to his next college class and I envisioned a kid with his books walking to class being gunned down needlessly by a cop. Then the real story hit.

Discrediting the victim for having a past is just as bad as deifying them. Maybe worse

Just want to understand, I commit a horrible crime. Get out and commit another crime, but its not my fault?

Committing an armed crime years ago does not make it ok for you to be suffocated to death for passing a bad $20.

We might as well just kill everyone who breaks the law if we're going to think like that. There is apparently no coming back and your life is forfeit.

Sorry TC, I guess we think all lives matter, including white and blue lives and red hat lives too, but we also think that black lives happen to matter too, and right now those lives are the ones being killed and beaten up by the people in power does not make for an easy name to chant during protests.

It is pretty much impossible to find the statement "black lives matter" confusing.

Some people would like to live without fear of the police. Stop being selfish about it

"Blue lives" isn't a thing. Being a cop is a choice. Being black isn't.

You wouldn't give a shit about the message regardless of how it was done, so not sure why you're commenting on it at all lmao

I am not sure if it is still going on right now, but there was a Blue Lives matter protest in my town, which was met with a counter-protest. It all started around 6, and when I got out of work at 10 it was still going on.

The parking lot where I work was the staging point for the police.
There had to be at least 50 cops in the lot, and tons of vehicles.

I was City Police, State, and County.
~It was crazy. The good news for me was, they saw us leaving work, so I knew I was good.

Black Lives Matter is ingeniously named because you literally can't disagree with any aspect of it without being called a racist, which isn't an accident.

You have a problem with its stated Marxist goals? Shut up, racist.

Black Lives Matter really isn't named at all. It's a statement that means different things to different people and is also a used in the name of a number of groups that push those different things.

Next you'll tell me The Left has an agenda.

Everyone in politics has an agenda. Not sure if you really thought that through.
