I will not go to Cox Farms because of their Black Lives Matter campaign. I think all lives matter. [/quote]

You really didn't have to introduce politics here, but since you did, stop flaunting your racist attitudes.  Yes, all lives matter.  That's the point of the Black Lives Matter campaign.  While all lives have mattered, in the past, it's been very clear that politicaly and practically, the system has always valued white lives more.  People turn a blind eye to violence against blacks, crimes against blacks, and system injustices against blacks.  They believe that young black men are by default hoodlums and not worth saving.  When crimes happen against whites, people are up in arms to change the system, to improve situations to avoid the same happening in the future.  When crimes happen against blacks, they deride the blacks for being criminals, hoodlums and don't make an effort to change the system.

The point of the campaign is that Black Lives Matter as much as White Lives.  Since that has not been the practice, it needs to be said.  When you say All Lives Matter, you are saying that the systemic injustices in our legal, criminal and societal systems all need to remain status quo and we do not need to improve the system to ensure that equality that you think you are proposing.  Get your head out of the sand, ostrich.[/quote]
