Do Black Lives Really Matter?

If you can’t see the hypocrisy of damning women and demanding equal rights, then you are in no position to judge anything.

You didn't say "damning women", which implies violence toward them, you merely mentioned the use of sexist terms. I'm guessing you read something the claims rap "damns" women, rather than concluded this by listening to rap yourself.

You're missing the point: bringing up rap is a tired deflection; that blacks have no right to complain about police brutality because rap music exists. Never mind the endless hordes of violent action movies starting white actors that are also sexist against women; blame rap music for the problems blacks have with cops rather than the pervasive systemic injustice.

The sexism in rap is a completely different and unrelated topic to police brutality toward blacks, and it needs to stop being used as a deflection from the racism that causes it.

Yes; but not when rap is used as a tool to blame blacks for the problems they face.

It's like blaming female pop stars who dress sexy and dance provocatively for the epidemic of rape. If you want to criticize women who make themselves sex objects in pop music, fine; but don't use it blame the victims of rape, like those who blame rap for police brutality.

No one on this forum believes what your claim. Thankfully, your reputation precedes you, and your claims are immediately dismissed by every poster here, due to your piss-poor reputation here.

I didn't defend terrorist attacks; my problem is you using them to excuse China's treatment of Muslims. You're no different than far-right conservatives who used MS-13, a Hispanic gang, to condone Trump's hateful racist rhetoric against them.

Or Palestinian, or Catholic, or moslim, or, or, or... there are many people persecuted for many different reasons.

Maybe they (white people) do understand, but the distance is too great to travel, they’ve got a family to run, they’ve got jobs they can’t escape from, they’re depressed, they don’t have the energy.

Who the hell are you to sit in fcking judgement?

Did ...[text shortened]... ecause you’re not a Palestinian and just don’t have any skin in the matter.

You bloody hypocrite!

you are confusing Israel being forced to defend itself from rocket attacks fired indiscriminately to kill ANYONE in their path. Do try to keep your facts straight.

See? Trashing two opposites with one comment. And yet I await a Nobel prize for literature.

This is really a very simple elementary matter.
The day black lives matter to blacks, only then will it matter to others.

Right now blacks are just wasting their time going after, and obeying this crooked organization BLM, which is using poor blacks to get rich.

So you're saying black lives currently don't matter to you.

This is why both your religion and conservative views are worthless.

All lives matter equally, and I consider it racist to say "Black Lives Matter"
Well, you can make BLM your religion.
