Basically everyone thinks black lives matter, in the sense that people's lives matter even if they are black. Very few overt racists left in the world. Most are probably in this thread.

Black Lives Matter as a slogan/ movement is a grift designed to sell T shirts and divert the working class from directing their anger towards the ruling class and towards other members of the working class.

Needlessly complicates and obfuscates a real issue, that being inner city violence and police brutality, with a vague social concept, racism, and makes it difficult to deal with the initial problem.

White kids get shot by white cops, nobody cares, black kids shot by black cops. Story disappears quickly as nobody jumps on the racism bandwagon. White cop kills black kid. Media circus for years. Profiteering off of urban violence. Absolutely disgusting.

There's loads of cases where the police just go all out ham with over use of force and kill people. There's other cases where it's justified, like when people are shooting at the cops. Perhaps we all just need to step back and consider how we deal with this violence issue?

I think the easiest solution to that is to pay cops more. A lot more. It's a fucking dangerous job, nobody is gonna want to do it if they've got better options available with how it pays now, except for those people that get off on having authority.
