It is beautiful to watch. It's like watching a lion tamer doing his thing with a bunch of deranged poodles.

Fair enough. If I were to try and correct every instance of homophobic or racist usage on this board I wouldn't be able to make any substantive posts. But how can you defend your own support of ALM by pointing out that I have sat by and ignored the use of racist terms? I would argue that Rocket and Snow use these terms reflexively, as many young dudes on the Internet do. Plus if they're not white, or not wholly white, they have some cultural license to use those terms. You, on the other hand, are defending (very badly, I might add) people who are attacking a movement that tries to draw attention to the killing of blacks by racist white cops. What you're doing is much worse, because you've had time to think about your stance, and you're taking a morally impoverished and downright malicious stance. Going on about Snow using the n-word is straightforward deflection, like all your (so-called) arguments.

When a lot of people around the world are upset that white cops are killing black men with impunity (there have been protests everywhere, even at a time when people are afraid of the pandemic), it is an excellent time to build opinion against racism. I am just heading out to a major BLM march. At a time like this, to say that we need to look at personal failings, rather than speak out against pointless killings, is the height of irresponsible behaviour. You can examine your personal failings as you march, or stand up to a loved one after the protest. Jesus Christ! As if moral introspection and public protests are mutually exclusive!
Also, to say All Lives matter is a well-known and infantile way of attacking BLM, and you did precisely that. -

Let me be quite clear. Any white person who thinks that BLM is an unsatisfactory or misplaced slogan is a racist, and a rather stupid one. They may not know it, but they probably have deep feelings of resentment about a perceived loss of racial privilege. If that is offensive, good.

Tell me why again that all lives don't matter? And yes well I agree with you that BLM is bringing to light that there lives matter as much as others ,and a lot of police brutality should be weeded out,do you agree that BLM should or should not also tackle the very high rate of black on black crime ?

For the thousandth time, the Black Lives Matter movement isn't saying other lives don't matter. It's just a movement started to create a focus on ending the injustices that black people face. It's like the Save the Whales movement, or the Protect the Rainforest movement. It's just something that people started because **** is really ****ing bad for a particular species of animal or a particular ecosystem or, in the case of BLM, a group of people.
No one who is behind BLM is saying that no other lives matter. They are just saying that black people have had a really ****ing raw deal in this country and that needs to stop.
Time for a brief little meltdown:
HOLY SHIT HOW THE FUCK IS IT SO FUCKING HARD FOR YOU FUCKING RETARDS TO UNDER-FUCKING-STAND THAT SHIT? IT IS A REALLY SIMPLE CONCEPT TO GRASP AND NO ONE SHOULD NEED IT EXPLAINED TO THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
do you agree that BLM should or should not also tackle the very high rate of black on black crime ?
Black people aren't killing other black people because they are black. That's an entirely different issue.
Black people aren't shooting other black people after they try to stop them for a crime they thought they committed. They aren't following black teens through a neighborhood just to attack them and shoot them when they fight back. Black people aren't shooting little black boys that are playing with an airsoft gun in a park.
That's a false equivalency and the fact that you said that **** without actually stopping to think if what you're going to say makes any sense speaks to some hidden sense of racism you have. Wait… it's not actually hidden. You were calling the looters and rioters a bunch of monkeys and apes.
My work here is done.

I dont think you'll get through to him. People who counter with All lives matter, SERIOUSLY BELIEVE that BLM stands for Black lives matter MORE than other races.
they literally cant understand the meaning of it. like for real.
its the same kind of people who dont understand sarcasm, irony or reading between the lines. Its like a layer of understanding reality that is missing in their heads.
Thats it, I’m going to clown college
