I voted yes, but when you get down to the root of it- do any of our lives really matter?

I believe black lives matter, in the sense that there is a great disregard for black lives, not just in the US but worldwide, and that it is high time that this issue is raised and some equality is effected. In the sense of that agenda of effecting equality I see 100% eye to eye with the Black Lives Matter movement. But where it turns into racism and ignorance, of course not.
Its an equality movement.
Saying "all lives matter" in response is obtuse.

Its common sense, Im not going to argue it. Let those who don't want to see, fail to see it.

All lives matter, that's how I feel. I am not going to form some association with a movement which seems to cause more harm to the cause it was supposed to help, seem counter productive.
Of course black peoples are nice, so are red people, and brown people, and yellow people, and white people, etc.

They have yet to make any coherent requests of everyone they yell at and stuff. Everyone deserves a chance to live their life unless they piss off racist cops.

This. But is it deliberately obtuse? An important question, I think.

In many cases its not deliberately, because theres a lot of nonsense going around regarding what #BlackLivesMatter is about. If the nonsense got to you first it might seem logical to say all lives matter, but that just propagates the misinformation.

So only black lives matter? Would you say you believe black lives are more important than Hispanic or white lives?

I'm apart of the Stop the Assholes movement. Where assholes in any and every level get recognized for being an asshole and dealt with appropriately on their level of assholery.
That's how I feel. I don't think it's fair to have had a "War on Terrorism" when it was only valid in "Protecting American interests" and I don't think it's fair to stop police corruption only because some instances have an element of racism.

Yeah I can't believe the weird hysterical mudslinging people do with BLM. Like they're the Black Panthers or something Not that I don't like the Black Panthers, but knee-jerk opposition to them is a bit more understandable. BLM is very peaceful and mainstream in their goals, they just want the justice department to treat black people the same way they treat other people, that is ridiculously reasonable.

^ Weren't police shot in Texas like a month ago during a BLM protest? Haven't there been riots and serious property damage in other protests?

I believe that human lives matter, so black humans would obviously fall under that as well. I have mixed feelings about the movement by that name though and it's not something I choose to align myself with.

You could say the same for any kind of large gathering... riots after sportsball games, for example, and I'm sure people have been killed at sportsball games. Would you blame major-league sportsball for these adverse events, or would you just accept that large crowds of people are inherently dangerous and unpredictable?
