I came across this article/ blog & find it quite distressing & a severe strategic mistake. NOT on the part of Hillary Clinton (who i am not of fan of) , but of the blogger & everyone on Twitter & Facebook & all social media slamming & criticizing her for saying #alllivesmatter as opposed to #blacklivesmatter.
There are MANY minorities / groups & many injustices, no matter where we are are, or who we are in the world.
Objecting to the phrase ' ALL ', cuts out all other minorities/ groups & defeats the primary purpose of EQUALLY & probably empathy.

I find it distressing too.

Mostly because of this
Do black lives matter or do all lives matter?

No lives matter except to the people who value their own lives.
The universe doesn't care.

You're responsible for valuing your own life and making it matter to you.

"All lives matter!" is a childish specious concept best suited for a kindergarten class to keep the kids from smacking each other so they pay attention.

the system sometimes works as if certain lives matter more than others,,

All systems do.
All systems throughout history have.
Do you have secret service agents ready to shoot down others in order to make sure you escape into a bunker?
Do we have a military that makes sure they and we matter more than any "enemy?"

There's no "sometimes" about it.

If you want "all lives matter" to be realistic it should be changed to "all lives that I believe matter or matter to me should matter the most to everyone and we should get some special stuff to prove they matter and that you think they matter as much as I do!"

That's just not as pithy.

all lives matter, with the obvious exception of war

where lives are the resource bartered to gain a 'win'

Yes. Exactly. These folks are a damn cult. This is the new generation of millennial 'progressive' anti-racists (and feminists). They aggressively try to censor, shut down, and shame everybody who doesn't toe the extremist party line.

Rarely do I hear of any older black folks or mature feminists agreeing with their insanity.

If Black Lives Matter so much why do they kill so many of their own?

Me thinks it's not that black lives matter so much as how to use them as a tool to enforce or achieve an agenda.

Heaven forbid we talk about black on black crime, poverty under a corrupt political system, or race baiting tax cheats profiting off the grief and suffering of their own people.... while dining at the white house or flashing a $1000 in "pocket money" while demanding more from pastors in struggling, impoverished, communities for a monument while many can't put food on the table..... while your daughter vacations in Bali

Agree...

Sometimes I think the 'only' thing that matters to the Al Sharptons of the world is the race of the killer...smokin

Black lives only matter under the following circumstances...

1) They are killed by white people. White cops killing them scores higher than anything else on the TV coverage scale. 97% of African Americans are killed by OTHER African Americans. Apparently that means SQUAT to Obama and the WH.
2) There is money and power to be gained. How many professional poverty pimps lobbied for and got federal, state, and local dollars for recreation centres/cultural centres/labour and job training centres? Is there still rampant inner city crime in places like NYC/Detroit/Atlanta/L.A./Baltimore? As long as Rev. Al/Jesse/NAACP get their cut, employ their friends, and guarantee people poverty connected jobs, the cycle continues.
3) It generates gun control legislation. While mass shootings generate the discussion in general on gun control, Obama and the WH shamelessly pimp out the black community to try and restrict firearms ownership of law abiding citizens who would never engage in such behaviour. Gun ownership groups have even gone into low income areas to give away shotguns to minority families who greatfully accepted them for self protection.

Let's face it folks, the African American community is a prop for Obama and the Democrats to use to fit their collective political agenda on issues from crime, family breakdown, substandard education, abortion, and employment. You are the window dressing to speeches by Clinton, Obama, and Pelosi. They dress you up nicely to illustrate success, and dress you down like hood rats to illustrate the failure of the 'system'. WHEN YOU STOP allowing yourselves to be used as pieces of furniture for politicians to lean on, you might actually get the equality you are looking for. You shouldn't be proud about being seen as just as dead as the Latinos, Asians, Arabs, or Whites.

Thus endeth the sermon.

ONCE AGAIN< blacks killing blacks does matter to the JUSTICE SYSTEM as blacks are a high percentage of those INCARCERATED for such actions,,


second, isolating Sharpton and others for continuing the cycle, is like blaming a john for prostitution, if women werent willing to do it, noone would profit

and if these situations didnt happen, noone could profit off of them


equally silly is isolating what has been happening to blacks for CENTURIES to democratic presidents,,,,,

If I recall, Bush the first won alot of votes using a picture of a scary black man against his opponent

and Reagan got alot of support for creating the 'welfare queen'

and republicans all over the news are not exactly shy about reporting on 'black on black' crime or other 'inner city' problems as if it is some subculture or some demographic with innately inferior character
