That's because saying "all lives matter" is implicitly stating the opinion that black people aren't disproportionately targeted by the police or worse off in society in general. Its a troll slogan saying "actually black concerns don't matter and fuck you".

I think you all know this and I want you all to know you're disingenuous fucks for pretending like you don't.

When I read “black concerns don’t matter and fuck you” the elephant in the room that comes to mind is hip-hop/rap music. There’s no finer exhibition of the double standard or dissociative identity disorder in America than this form of “art”. I used to love hip hop but at this point it’s in the same bin as alcohol, cigarettes and gossip. It's low frequency and will prevent higher cognitive abilities as they relate to self awareness, personal intention and empathy.

Sure, but just because it's mostly made by black people doesn't mean all black people, especially those marching, like it too.

Just because I'm white doesn't mean I'm Christian and love white toast and golf.

I'd also argue that when anyone is stuck in utterly abject poverty for generations, your culture will tend to get violent and based around crime, since without legitimate employment opportunities, crime is all around you.

Irish were kept in abject poverty for generations, and they are incredibly friendly people (unless they support freedom, then they don't like Brits)

Hmmm, why don't we look at the history of persecution and changing definitions of race for the Irish and try to figure out what happened? Oh wait, that might mean we'd have to read books and not hate circle jerk each other

I'm simply telling you that blacks aren't the only people who've been hurt by this system of belief that everyone is raging against.

Oh okay, well I already knew that.

So why focus on the hurts of one group? The same people who hurt the Irish hurt the Africans. Why can't we just team up, eh? I know plenty of white and black people who feel like I do, so quit subverting shit. I'll say the same thing to the other side of the fence.

Okay, in which way exactly do you want to team up? Against the police?

They are surface goons. Go after the root of all major world problems: modern perspectives laden with nihilism and the banking cartels that have been spreading this nihilism. Some cops will probably defend them, but I doubt most would if every major demographic being hurt by these fucks teamed up. They can count.

I never mentioned race.
