Black Lives Matter is pretty direct. If it's against white supremacy, why isn't it "All Lives Matter" since white supremacy would therefore trample over all races who aren't white? You're all over the place so let me educate you some, yeah? We all acknowledge that police brutality, when evident, is a civil issue and not a race issue. Police brutality happens to every race. You wanna run the numbers? Because I guarantee you won't like the results. Stopping the violence from their communities? Uhm, hello, the #1 source of violence in their communities are caused by black-on-black violence. Police encounters happen because they are dispatches by people in these black communities. No police officer strolls around searching for black people to hurt or victimize. Get that out of your head.
Like I've stated, BLM is a very direct stance and slogan. You target the #1 issue and not the #10 issue. You know what affects black lives? Single parenthood. Gang violence. Drug violence. Poor education. Poor influences. Those are far bigger issues by a scale of a thousand compared to police officers 'victimizing' black people. If you're not focused on those issues, it's obvious that the issue which seems to be the most profitable, being white police officers attacking black people, would be the natural stance you would want to push.
Play this game? I'm not playing any games. I'm taking my valuable time educating 'educated' people such as yourself. If you want a real discussion where we can actually speak and not be trapped in a written format, we can communicate vocally so we can see how confident it is in your position(s). Other than that, keep spouting nonsense.
"Oh, BLM is to fight against white supremacy."
Uhm, white supremacy would hate Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, etc., so why include Black in their slogan? Don't be silly here. No, they don't have to fight for every issue. But they do have to highlight the biggest issues if their goal is truly to uplift the black community. Fight against police brutality? I'm with you on that all day. But also talk about how blacks are being killed by astronomical numbers in Chicago, Baltimore, D.C. Talk about how drugs are being facilitated and gangs are murdering each other for territory. You'll have a ton more supporters from both sides if that were the case.
