I think you're disingenuous to not realize the truth in the statement "all lives matter"

I don't care what you or BLM say. Shouting "black lives matter" will not stop police corruption, it will not stop racism, it will not stop people online from being who they are. Your slogan doesn't matter as much as the message, and your current slogan is obviously knee-jerk. "All lives matter" is a truthful statement and I say it to help people realize racism isn't just against blacks, and cops/banks aren't just oppressive against inner city poor.

So, fuck you for being disingenuous. I have no problem with someone saying Black Lives Matter, cuz it's a truthful statement. You have an issue with All Lives Matter cuz you don't think it's truthful, huh?

Pull back the veil man, people can have more motives than just what's displayed on the cover. Why are you so pissed over this?

I want people to be able to say the truth without getting called racist. I should be able to say all lives matter. I should be able to say black lives matter.

These are statements of truth. Why is it so hard to let people say the truth?

Well I'm sorry man but it's out of both our hands, at the moment your beloved statement has been totally coopted by racists and bigots. Don't kill the messenger, that's just hyper politicization in America.

Your beloved statement has been coopted. Doesn't change the fact it's a true statement.

Yes it's true, black people are discriminated against by cops, thanks for agreeing

I've been agreeing on that with you the entire time.
