The name must remain because you still don’t get it.

The issue is police brutality which goes across all races. If you had any common sense, you'd look at the numbers and see that. So, if you want other racial groups to be involved, include them. But, this is basically a separatist movement. It isn't even separate but equal. All the lives lost due to police officers should be valued.

This was the best thing I have seen on this.

Except the lives of White people ARE valued. You think a cop who shot a white Philando Castile would get off? you think if Trayvon Marin had been a White teenage boy the jury would have found George Zimmerman not guilty? The point is not whether only Black people get killed. It’s that there’s rarely justice when they do.

Simple solution.



Put an end to dehumanization, discrimination, disenfranchisement, and systemic racism.
Do that and their won't be a need for a BLM movement altogether and y'all won't have to stress about how acceptable the name is.

But they they’d have to share that power and privilege ... so, nah, gonna not end that stuff AND demand you still say White lives matter when the whole world already caters to White lives.

You forgot OJ.

Exactly. As a non-black POC I have zero issues with the name. The ones who care seem to be the fragile white folks.

If you are truly concerned about ALL lives then start a movement for ALL lives. Every single time someone dies by a cop call them out. Protest for that individual.

BLM is to address Black lives dying. Take a moment and think about someone other than yourselves. It’s not about you. It’s about black lives dying at the hands of police.

You're right, so then stop the calls for white people to stand up and be involved and active in the movement. Its not about us nor do you care about white or hispanics dying at the hands of the police as those lives don't matter.

White people who understand and have empathy for black people come out on their own. You want an invitation so you can turn it down and say, “all lives matter” (While not actually caring about all lives that don’t affect you). So go right ahead, start your own movement. You care so much about white and Hispanic lives, start a movement addressing them.

I’m sure a group called White Lives Matter will go over SUPER well. Will BLM PP be an activist for the cause?

Start the movement and ask them.

Which police officer shot OJ?

It really doesn’t unless you choose to read it that way.

Piss off...

PP is lying, racist scum. The “statistics” show black men are 21 times more likely to be killed by cops then white men. https://www.propublica.org/article/deadly-force-in-black-and-white

That runs alarmingly and suspiciously counter to any other study. The Washington Post data shows it is 2.5 times more likely, with Hispanics ALSO dying at a disproportionate rate.

The key words in my “suspicious” post (from ProPublica, which like the Post has won Pulitzer Prizes) is “unarmed.” I have no doubt that cops have killed large numbers of white men who were shooting at them.

They don’t need to because the system will already clear out those cops.

Now do “unarmed.”

You are a tone deaf boomer to think it is appropriate to post this at this time.

DP. Why do you think it is okay for you to be intolerant but you expect tolerance from others? You're a hypocrite (and probably other things …). If you expect tolerance then you need to practice tolerance. Until you realize that no one will be willing to listen to you.

I don’t need you to listen to me. You are the one claiming BLM is unfair because you were bullied in elementary school. It’s a ridiculous position.

Yeah, especially in the 1960s, a time of extreme police brutality toward black people.

I think the name "I Can't Breath" would be a much better name. I think that says it all.
