Current Events > The "All Lives Matter" response is so stupid to me

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im not saying the statement itself is wrong. It clearly isnt. However, imagine being married, your significant other asks you, Baby. Do you love me? Then your response is, Well I love everyone.

See how stupid that is? Lmao

Dumb comparisons for $500

Its more akin to going to St Judes, saying "what about adults!? why only help kids!?" then not even helping other charities that help adults. Being against it makes you look like an ass already, not helping other things you claim to care about just cements it.

Ben's explanation on this is pretty solid. It's all about the implication behind the phrase "black lives matter." It's not so much "stop focusing on black lives" but rather "duh, of course black lives matter because all lives matter."

When you're using Ben Shapiro's backwards logic to back up your point you should really reconsider your position

You should be careful with those stones you're throwing.

Nah, it's a perfectly fine comparison.

No, he's a racist piece of shit.

I think the problem is using it as a rebuttal. It makes it sound like you're trying to take the attention off the suffering that is going on and making it about yourself.

If the BLM movement had been called "All Lives Matter" from the beginning, no one would be pulling this shit. Kind of like how feminism SHOULD be about equality amongst all sexes, but semantics and extremists have turned it into JUST women.

"Save the Rainforest!"

"lol you idiot you should care about ALL forests!"

Ben Shapiro's explanation is fake and an attempt to take any power possible away from black voices cause he's a racist piece of anal trash.

Except people are constantly explaining its real meaning. Its mostly about reading comprehension. No one even READS into it, they just read the cover and then go off that.

The main problem I have with BLM is that it's short sighted. If you're against police violence, then you should be against it for everyone, but only one kind ever makes the news. Otherwise if police somehow kill 0 black people but still kill whites and others then everyone's like "yup, we're good."

Shapiro: "When you chant Black Lives matter you are imply there are a bunch of people who don't believe that Black Lives Matter."

Erm yeah Ben.... A lot don't...

That's kinda the problem

Point to one situation where that happened.

I can't, because we're not there yet. We're probably never going to be. What do you think would happen?

Exactly.

The exact same thing that's happening now, but reverse the skin colours.

So, "white lives matter?" You really see that happening?

So are you saying they're right?

Another thing that doesn't make sense, if you're trying to make the cops look as bad and as violent as possible, then why limit yourselves to showing footage or stories of black people being killed when 50% of those killed are white?

they don't limit themselves. Many BLM activists have called attention to all races being mistreated. (funny enough the ALM crowd like that Youtuber you posted were no where to be seen, or defended the cops in those situations)....They just also understand that there is a stigma when it comes to black people, unfortunately. There is absolutely no reason to take offense with BLM, and trying to paint yourself as some kind of victim because of it is even worse

Funny how you criticize Ben Shapiro's logic (without watching it, naturally) and yet you go on to do the very thing that he says you do.

I didnt criticize his logic (or lack thereof) in that post. I just pointed out how he and the rest of the ALM crowd did nothing to bring attention to it happening to other races (hell, many defended the cops in some of those cases), but BLM activists did, yet the response is still what about white people!? They just cant admit theyre wrong on this one. Theyre just trying to pull a gotcha! On them, but BLM supporters can actually say we do talk about all races...which is more than Shapiro and his base can say. How often did you talk about white people being killed by cops? Probably a lot less than BLM activists have.
