Author Topic: Why is All Lives Matter considered tribal?  (Read 4715 times)

I don't get it, don't all lives matter? Oh no, they say that by saying All Lives Matter you don't recognize black lives.

but BLM doesn't recognize asian, police, native american, etc lives.

Also it sounds egocentric when your group is called "Black Lives Matter" why isn't it called "Black Lives Matter, Too"

because if you're black only you matter everyone else is gay

Same with feminism, females have some advantages in life and so do males. Why is it focused on only one of the genders getting more rights.

because you're black tony

Because of people like daswurich kimon and leasuresuit

i'm not sure why i'm being included here

because it includes white people

The same reason Oriental Swing isn't tribal despite including several national stereotypes ("In the land of Fu-manchu them girls all do the suzy-q, clap their hand in the middle of the floor say ching ching chop suey and swing some more"): a black person did it so it's okay.

because if you're black only you matter everyone else is gay

im straight and this is literally erasing my identity????? DELET THIS

because lefties like to decry people for being terrible with words and then they show how terrible with words they are
it's the big loving hypocrisy of the modern progressive movement

feminism shouldn't be a thing, this "equality of the lovees" stuff gets thrown out the window once you consider the semantics of the word "feminism" and how the word specifically leans in favor of women over men
same thing with Black Lives Matter, and that disregards both the damage both movements have done to society and the things they have done to completely and utterly radicalize the entire left, including the Democratic party

ALM is not tribal imo but looking at it from an outside perspective it looks to be minimizing the efforts made by groups like BLM.

The point of groups like BLM is to emphasize the injustice towards a minority group, lumping them all together leaves them feeling further marginalized. BLM itself is not tribal since it's about equality and asking for equal stance, not about a race being better or worse than another.

Your statement proves itself wrong, feminism isn't about getting MORE rights than men, it's about getting more rights to have the same amount of rights as men. It's easy to think that we are all born equal but in most cultures men are favoured over women. The bias towards men creates disproportionate ratios of men-to-women in colleges, universities, businesses, etc. The important thing to remember is that it isn't just about asking men to  treat women equally, there are plenty of women who believe women should be dedicated family makers and house wives, they hinder younger women's development just as much if not more than men do since they are often the authority figures in young women's lives.

Other parts of the problem include the fact that men prefer working with other men so in an already male-dominated work environment they are more likely to hire other men to maintain the comfort level, same goes for promotions and bonuses hence the wage gap. Then there's other things too like marketing, games tend to have a male protagonist because most of the game creators are male, game consoles are targeted towards males, so the game is created to create a connection with a male player. The problem isn't with any individual part of the process it's a problem of an endless cycle that perpetuates a gender bias.

i thought its because "black lives matter" has an implicit "too" at the end, whereas "all lives matter" is just a smartarse response that downplays the point of "black lives matter"

Very much this, should have pointed that out in my wall of text lol

If "black lives mattered, too" they'd show it with peace, not rampaging through cities, beating up white people and burning cars and stuff.

This, and "black lives matter" seems to have an implied more at the end, not a too, due to the way this group acts as a whole.
