[A comic depicting a person holding an all lives matter sign. Another person asks them "How can you say that while so many black people are killed by police?". The comic cuts to a scene where a black gangster is standing atop a mountain of dead bodies behind the person holding the all lives matter sign]

The point of Black Lives Matter is to stop people with privilege from treating the less privileged like nothing, to hold those who mistreat and kill them accountable. To stop allowing those who abuse their power to get away with abusing and killing people. not saying that non-black lives don't matter.
If your reaction to people saying that black lives matter is to say "but white people die too", you aren't as sympathetic as you're pretending to be.
"All houses matter!"
Your white body pile under a black shooter is very telling, by the way. Fuck off.
ok… if you want to play that game, explain what the fuck happen with that old WHITE guy in New York… you know… the guy Police PUSHED AND CAUSED HIM TO HIT HIS HEAD AND STARTED BLEEDING, two can play at that game mate
Or all the videos showing the Police BRUTALIZING peaceful protestors, regardless of color, like they DESPISE us non-police folk and enraged at people questioning them.
Or everytime a leader of a Police Union or Brotherhood or Franterity or whathaveyou opens their goddamn mouths its’ always, ALWAYS some kind of screed born from a profound sense of twisted entitlement, like they are above the law and YOU (IE anyone, not a police officer) should just shut up and accept their rule like an authoritarian would.
Even if one ignores the deaths of black people by cops (THEY SHOULDN’T!) the police as of right now is far too prone to abusing their power and seem to have this arrogant notion that they are in the right ALWAYS and their word is law rather then they being the people meant to ENFORCE the law REGARDLESS OF RATHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A BADGE! It’s pretty fucking clear we in the United States NEED to reform the police and perhaps even need to PURGE a good portion of the current law enforcement to weed out these authoritarian, power abusing, constitution-shitting, entitled, and just plain arrogant motherfuckers out of the force entirely and then BAR them from ever joining the force EVER again.
I would like to point out that the “All Lives Matter” guy in the comic is, quite literally, a dickhead.
Apart from that, it’s generic boring racist crap.
As much as you love to emphasize the delusional fantasy that every unnatural death or violent crime is the work of some phantom black man and disinterestedly wave aside certain realities of disparate treatment in the eyes of the law you can walk around in broad daylight without fear while a black elementary school boy could knock on the front door of the neighbourhood watch in broad daylight to ask for directions and be answered with buckshot. Luckily for the boy the gun jammed on the first shell and he made enough distance by the second to only be grazed. Several others knocking on doors as part of their jobs, community organizers, or specifically hoping for someone to call the police weren’t so lucky.
Can you honestly say you have to fear simply being out of doors? Or being treated as a trespasser in areas open to the public? Or even treated as a home invader in your own house because a neighbour saw you pick up your mail and open your front door with a key? Could you be shot to death in your own house by a cop or even a neighbour and the idea of them getting away with it by saying that they thought it was their house isn’t completely insane? Are you constantly worried that you’ll be arrested trying to punch into work repeatedly by the same police officer who waits outside for you to show up even after your boss tells him off? Or that if someone randomly pulled a gun on you that they would be assumed to be in the right and you’re a menace by default who has no business being anywhere at any time and if you so much as speak that’s threatening behaviour justifying you getting smacked up or shot and if you try to run or duck or generally avoid being shot that’s an admission of guilt that only proves you deserved to be smacked up and shot? Or that you could be swarmed by police who were called the minute you walked into a store upon you exiting after paying cash for a purchase? Can you imagine being stopped multiple times a week while driving and the first words out of a police officer’s mouth not being “do you know why I stopped you?” but “I will fucking shoot you if you move! Get out of the car! I SAID DON’T MOVE!” or some other incoherent barrage of threats they probably won’t even finish uttering before you’re being manhandled? How about being stopped while walking and having your ID taken away without explanation and getting arrested for asking for one? If you stand stock still with your hands up and follow police commands do you expect to be cuffed or hit with a running tackle and put in a chokehold? If you were bleeding to death in the middle of the road would you expect paramedics to tend you or the first responders to repeatedly pelt you with beanbag rounds and kneel on your back?
No?
Then do shut your disingenuous cake-hole.
He shows a criminal doing criminal things, ignoring that the issue is police abuse of power and systemic racism, because it’s not affecting him personally.
This is the racist version of “b-b-but her e-mails!!! | Fucking whataboutism.
“all lives matter” shitheads never seem to realize (or even care) is that civilians (especially black ones) who murder others are almost always prosecuted and locked up (and god help them if the person they kill is a cop..).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
