Author Topic: Why is All Lives Matter considered tribal?  (Read 4707 times)

I consider it a representative sample when it's the leaders of the organization. You didn't have MLK and all his buddies calling for white peoples' heads, did you?
MLK was head of a non-governmental organization with directors, a 501 c. 3, and concrete principles. BLM is a decentralized movement a-la Anonymous that does not have leaders. Whoever people consider the 'leaders' of BLM is usually just whoever is speaking the loudest, which tends to be people on the disproportionately-crazy extreme of their ideological spectrum. Ironically their voices are spread by the same people who think they're idiots, which is why people look at Matthew's video of that Twitter post and think, "wow, she must be the leader of BLM because they're both on television right now."

Shaun King is actually a very reasonable man who has a lot of meaningful things to write about. You've discredited him because he's super light-skinned, but honestly he's one of the best faces of BLM.

No true Scotsman fallacy
fallacy fallacy since you didn't elaborate, cuck

You're changing your argument and then pretending it was always that way. I answered your claim that blacks were 2.5 times more likely to get shot than white people, which the paper disproves. In that regard, police use of non-lethal force in regards to different races is irrelevant.
The paper didn't "disprove" stuff you loving moron, it just provided an explanation. I did not make a false "claim" by quoting that FACT. You were misinterpreting a statistic fundamentally and I provided a correct interpretation (even if that interpretation had a different explanation)

The absence of fathers leading to crime is a well-known fact. Here's a video that basically summarizes it, with a little more context on how the African-American family got to be so divided. A majority of black leaders acknowledge that it's a significant problem, sometimes even more than "racism".

the simple answer: it's like kicking someone's dog and then saying "oh my god all other kicked dogs matter"
it's true but it would rub it in a bit more, it's just rude

Yeah, but if the other kicked dogs are neglected in favour of that one particular dog...

They are not neglected, they just get less attention from the media because they've been kicked more instead of this other dog.

fair enough

do you want to watch the video or are you going to keep grandstanding

And the media is biased and will justify any reaction from the dog, "if the dog freaks out and bites everyone, it's okay, because they had it coming."

When BLM first started up and sort of made sense (for that one week before stuff started hitting the fan in full force), when people said "All Lives Matter" in response to them saying "Black Lives Matter", it came off as dismissive. Now, to make the jump from dismissive to racism is entirely up to interpretation. Like I said, before the information came out about Michael Brown, I understood when people got annoyed when someone said All Lives Matter, because it was only in response to Black Lives Matter, which, as I stated earlier, comes off as almost entirely dismissive of the issues they were bringing up. You know, when they were actually bringing up issues and not just stuffting all over their own neighborhoods and calling for the death of whites or w/e.
All Lives Matter began as a counter-slogan or whatever. I would be beyond hesitant to call it, at any point, tribal, because not every little thing that goes against black people is tribal, but it is at the very least dismissive of the issues between black people and the police. Of course, black people aren't the only people who have issues with the police, I'm just explaining the viewpoint behind it.
