This has been explained and discussed throughout this thread. Go look. [/quote]

NP here:  none of the tortured logic and mental gymnastics in the prior pages explain why “all lives” matter is somehow racist.

It is not racist.[/quote]

When there is a breast cancer fundraiser, no one complains that "all cancers matter." And when there is a nursing conference no one complains that "all professions matter."  And yet, when there is a a movement to address police brutality that impacts the black community more than others, people take personal offense as if it somehow implies that other lives don't matter.  This is the essence of racism, and it's worth examining why you feel the need to generalize this issue to "all lives" but not in other cases.  This sort of double standard is the essence of racism.

PP here:  This is the best explanation I have heard yet. Thank you! (I honestly wasn't seeking to stir the pot or create an argument. I just wanted to understand. For some reason, DCUM posters can be so mean. There is no need to jump down everyone's throat just for asking questions. Doing so just shows ones ignorance.)[/quote]

You really didn’t read through the thread. It was explained numerous times and examples similar to this were given. Don’t try to act like yours is some new question being posed within this thread. [/quote]
