It's pretty simple, folks.
*The statement "Black Lives Matter" obviously has an implied "too" at the end.
*The retort "All Lives Matter" is a statement in bad faith. Implies that all lives are equally at risk. They're not. And if you can't see why, I really can't help you.

However if people learn that all lives matter, black lives won’t be more at risk.
Separating based on colour is racist.
When people learn to stop treating someone differently just because of colour, the world becomes a better place.
Separating like this just enforces difference

Sorry mate, but that's a really naive take. Naive because it operates from the assumption we're all at the same starting line. We're not. And most people retorting with "All Lives Matter" do so because they're actually pissed off that black people are raising the issue at all.

The statement "All Lives Matter" obviously has an implied "and that is inclusive of Black, Brown, Yellow, White and Pink" at the end.
It's pretty simple, folks.

Except it doesn't, numbnuts. It's simply the sort of pathetic "what about me?" exercise you'd expect from the sort of fuckwit who'd have a timeline full of Covid conspiracy theories and a pic of Trump as an avatar. Cheers.
@rohan_connolly
I like how you use the phrase "bad faith", when the concept of all lives mattering equally is a Christian belief.
You're saying to treat groups of people differently because of your own personal perception of some kind of racial risk factor. A racial hierarchy that you act on.

Its funny, I'm in Baltimore City multiple times a week & the people I talk to daily down there say "all these white people telling us what we need is hilarious, we cant even stop killing our own, the fuck are these white kids doing with BLM? They dont know shit." Virtue Signaling
@rohan_connolly
Ideally all lives should matter, but in the real world some lives do matter more than others. We Asians are not feeling very comfortable about BLM because it didn't include us but ALM do. In reality, American/Australian blacks are in a higher position than many in Asia.

@LeighRMatthews
here is why all lives matter statement is attrocious. Mate I'm a Hawks fan and regard you as one of the best in the sport. Surely you researched you opponent before you played them? Why wouldn't you do the same with that statement?
