MaryJaneHolland 77,348 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 So black people want all the stuff to be pointed at them or what.... When you say #BlackLivesMatter you categorize only one race, but when you say #AllLivesMatter you clearly point to the whole world, the whole humanity. GO JANET!

BornSimon 4,818 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hashtags are stupid most of the time anyway. The truth is in the middle. If I created a hashtag like "GayLivesMatter I'd clearly be leaving all other categories of people out of it, and it wouldn't be ok. The concept behind "BlackLivesMatter is perfectly understandable and a feeling I share and I am equally as disgusted by what it going on, but there is no denying that the hashtag is singling out one race in favour of all others. #AllLivesMatter indeed, no matter what way you look at it, and people bitching on Twitter are just there to do that, bitch, but then they're doing nothing in their everyday lives to actually make a difference. Not to mention all the bangwagon-jumpers, those are the WORST. I see posts that insult white people on Instagram and Twitter every day, it's become completely acceptable to laugh at white people yet I never read anything in the comments about how offensive it is (I won't say "racist" because then I'll get lectured and I'm not in the mood). We are all the same, and we should all be treated the same. That is the truth, and while I completely agree with the sentiment behind that hashtag, I am not a fan of the choice of words. Also, Janet was clearly just trying to spread a positive message, but obviously people need to whine and bitch, because that is what the internet has become. It's sad. People can't focus on the message of love, they have to spread hate when hate isn't there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
