I'm all for black/african american people getting fair treatment by the police. I think it's a very complex issue though. I'm not going to get into that. All I'm going to say is that the BLM movement has pretty much been hijacked by marxists and isn't even about black lives anymore. I do however think it is a poor argument to retort "All lives matter" in response to black lives matter when the whole purpose is to highlight that blacks are treated differently. Whether they are treated differently is also a very complex issue. I don't think the protests for "Black lives" will help any issue because of the complexity of the issue. That's pretty much all I'm going to say about the BLM movement on here other than the whole issue is pretty much a political football that the democrats use to gain support. I would have a real discussion with someone willing but I'm not going to make any other generalized statements because I don't feel like getting into a *****ing contest with someone on the issue. I think that's kind of how most white people are at this point. They are either liberals/marxists or whatever, or they don't want to get involved because any statement can trigger a massive response that they don't feel like dealing with.
