Kermit 15,807 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 NOTE : This is a thread for those who are mature enough to carry a logical statement. If you cannot abide, please leave. I was watching this video and as much as I don't do the whole #BlackLivesMatter thing myself, this really kinda just poked at something. I tend to ignore racial issues that are in my way and I just can't sit with the fact that people can be so negative. No, i'm not talking about a race or group in particular, just ignorant individuals who look outside the box than to look in. “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic.

teo 609 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I don't follow this whole thing going on in the US, but I never really understood why people had a problem with the #BlackLivesMatter thing. Like some really took it personally even thought it was never suggested that their non-black life doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicogly 2,579 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It is so ****ed up how up until this day, sexual orientation, religion, race, culture, social status or whatever category you may think of, is still argument enough to discriminate. Here were I live in Venezuela, race isn't much of a problem, but sexual orientation and social status have become such problems that it is even hard to think of a way of handling the issue. I just wish that people realized that first and foremost we are humans regardless of anything else. Rock On and A Last One For the Road 🚬 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UDO 35 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I don't understand why the black lives matter people don't talk about all the black on black killings that happen everyday, or black on black racism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melech 9,900 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 When Black lives matter, still not all lives matter. Maybe improve but I doubt that Native american problems will suddenly disappear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think we aren't? Just because a news channel or an online article didn't put it up doesn't mean it's not happening, it means that everyone eats whatever the media feeds them. Meanwhile, this still doesn't affect the fact that ALL racism needs to stop. It's not about which racism is showed on the media because they're only gonna show you so much just to get you to make comments that aren't factual and plant negativity in our hearts. Black on black happens just as much as white on white and black on white happens almost as much as white on black. At the end of the day everyone just needs to think to themselves, "What is this negativity benefiting?". “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic.

I know the mainstream media is nonsense, but I don't see any black lives matter people ever talking about black on black stuff anywhere, not on any media or any youtube video. I know some black people that are not with black lives matter talk about it a little, but then sometimes they get verbally attacked, bullied or called a certain racial slur by other black people just for talking about it. its like some people want to ignore the black on black problems and only act like it matters when a black person is killed by a white cop. black lives will never matter if the blacklivesmatter people only focus on half of the problem. there is way more whites killed by blacks, than blacks killed by whites, and there is way more whites killed by cops, than blacks killed by cops.
