This is not an endorsement of a certain political party or candidate. Not an endorsement of a certain platform or agenda. Not an endorsement of riots or lootings. Not an endorsement of certain chants or people. I'm just someone explaining the phrase Black Lives Matter as someone who used to not get it.
How much positive attention will MSM pay to Fathers, on Father's Day?
"Happy fathers' day, mom"
JR R - THANKS! What a tragedy!
Why does that matter? It's like saying a mother doesn't pay attention to one kid therefore she should stop paying attention to her other kid.
May is essentially Mother's month. They've made June into LGBT month. There's a point in there if you're religious ... something about taking the month reserved for fathers to use it as a month celebrating defiance to THE Father ... that is God. But that's just me.
Little is anticipated
I understand your point. But when people say Black Lives Matter - there is context, there is an implication that lots of people don't agree, which is false, and a narrative that they are disproportionately shot unjustifiably/targeted by police in relation to the offenses commited, which is also false. When people say all lives matter it is not a dismissal of the sentiment that black lives matter, it is a debunking of the false narrative attached to the slogan. And they are also highlighting the hypocrisy of a movement that focuses exclusively on one race when all the statistics prove otherwise, and the hypocrisy that even the acknowledgement that white lives or other lives mattering is deemed as offensive, or insensitive. When white people, for example, get shot at higher rates. It highlights the selective outrage and hypocrisy.
Exactly, as long as the narrative is false people are always going to be more interested in correcting the narrative. Had the movement chosen the words "all lives matter" from the beginning they would have had full support from every group and avoided the automatic division generated by their choice phrase, and I would argue it wouldn't have been any less powerful.
Mr. Sensible , excellent post.
or should I have went with particular individual lives matter?
@@JamesStevensTEXALTA you’re extremely ignorant, there’s a reason why Black people, women and lgbt people didn’t fight for equal rights at the same time. They each have different struggles which are too much to confront at once in one movement. It’s the same thing with races, each race has their own issue. You can’t focus on all of the races, all of their different struggles, funding each races community, and helping distigmatize so many issues all at once. This is why there are separate movements.
@@froggxrl1248 I don't have a disagreement with you about your point that they can be separate and I agree with that. My argument is about the chosen strategy and approach used and that a simple adjustment in rhetoric could win more people over toward the cause while simultaneously avoiding people going against the cause. It is a matter of efficacy. If the movement didn't choose exclusive language they would have come closer to achieving their goals faster. Had they went with "all live matter" in the beginning or some other non-exclusive phrase that was just as catchy, they'd be more effective and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't understand what or who that movement was about.
Did David Dorn's life matter?
Yes. How does that negate the fact that black lives matter?
@Frank Castle- Their movement is drawing attention to *black lives killed by police brutality* , so they’re invalid? They need to name every single black person killed on this planet by name for you to be satisfied? When black lives are disproportionately being murdered by police, the people whom we pay with our taxes to *serve and protect* and whom we are supposed to be *looking up to* , that is a serious problem. What is wrong with drawing attention to that?
If someone draws attention to breast cancer at a rally, are you gonna show up and say “why didn’t you talk about prostate cancer?? therefore your movement is invalid!”
Not wanting police to murder black Americans has nothing to do with Marxism lmao. You should look up the definition of Marxism.
@@casebased8391 You have bought into a line of BS. In Portland BLM attacks and loots and burns and destroys. In Seattle same thing. In Minneapolis same thing. This week in Portland a guy with a "Security" vest kicked and left unconscious an unarmed white man for what? Because he helped a person? People pretended to be run over by his truck that never touched them at 2mph. It was a phony way to call him a fascist, for HELPING someone they had previously beaten and robbed in the NAME of Police brutality. GFY.
Right, they want to act as if "black" and "police" are the opposites and are on opposing sides, when that's not the case. One can be both. Black lives matter should really be called "fuck the police".
@@casebased8391 They should have picked a little less scummy martyrs then the one's they picket for more sympathy.
Your analogy about breast cancer was horrible ,more people die of prostate cancer then vice versa.
Why would you not care fore both ,or is it men's lifes matter now?
I think BLM's narrative is mostly false "not all" ,but when it is unjustified I get just as mad as you.
Your explanation is a great one. However, there is a substantial part of the BLM movement that goes beyond what you are saying. The part that chants things like “pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon”
There are people who take the movement exactly how you are saying. However you can’t deny there is also a much more militant, aggressive exclusionary side to the movement
The militant part of the movement has become so vanishingly small in comparison these days that it seems silly to focus on them.
@@vargonian Is that this "vanishingly small" number that is rioting in the streets now?
That is such a nitpick right now. Why are you not more concerned about the blatantly corrupt police force murdering people in the streets right now? Why are libertarians so pro-police right now given what we all know about them?
You are concentrating on the negative minority because you're keen to dismissing the overall message. It's like saying some Hong Kong protestors destroyed a building therefore their cause is unworthy.
Incorrect you are deflecting and are a shill.
I see the point you are making but I think BLM specifically shouldn’t be used.
1. The organization was founded by Marxists and communist policies are what they are pushing for.
2. It tries to paint police brutality is a racial issue. It doesn’t just effect black people so trying to seem like it only happens to them creates division and makes it harder to push back against the state.
3. They don’t care about black lives, only ones ended by police. They don’t care about black men killed by other black men. They don’t care about black business owners who are having their business destroyed and their lives taken. They don’t care about black people who oppose their narrative.
1 isn’t exactly true. The goals of BLM have evolved and have been demonstrated by more than the galvanized zealots. Racism in any form should not and is not tolerated by BLM.
2 is a stretch. All police brutality is wrong, but BLM-as the name clearly states, is about black lives. Could we be supportive of other races, absolutely, but again, that is not the point of the group. This expectation that BLM should fight every battle for every race is annoying. More whites are killed statistically speaking, so why aren’t whites upset and protesting that?
3 is straight bs. BLM again, focuses on racism. Black on black crime is a problem addressed by other orgs. There are specific groups that fight for gun control and support anti gang protesting within urban communities. Stop expecting BLM to take up every issue. Stop putting excessive expectations on a group just to create an excuse for them to be completely invalid. Black on black crime is important, but does not negate the fact that there are still issues of racial bias and discrimination in this country.

I think that the BLM hashtag is just missing the word “too”
Is there an underrated comment award?
"...only more so."
Karl not more so. Just the same as our white counterparts. Stop acting like wanting equality makes us whining jerks.
In the beginning "too" was part of the phrase, and I embraced it. As BLM got more popular it became more militant! News flash, White people wearing BLM t shirts to not bear the wrath of the militants is pandering, just like a politician!
Wrong, because there's no issues with "white lives matter", we know they matter, the police knows they matter!
I'd say thank you to fathers matter
Fathers are SO SO SO important!!!
Jules...You are my hero....
Now how do I separate the idea of #blacklivesmatter wich I support, vs B.L.M. the racist political organization wich I do not support?
Just do it... it’s simple
@@englandcolors Or don't, either way, I'm cool!
Just support them.
No. BLM the organization equals violent communists.
Rational people change their minds if an idea they support in theory leads to disastrous consequences when manifested.
Linguistically correct, yet the things that matter most are seldom covered by the media.
Thats why social media exists
this is why police brutality is entirely forgotten about in the eyes of mass media between incidents of black people being murdered by police officers with little legal reprimand
Julie, I understand what your saying. Fair point. However, I have to disagree with a premise. Libertarians have been documenting police abuses towards everyone long before the Black Lives Matter thing started. What the Black Lives Matter did was to separate out one demographic that was being abused from the others. This was deliberate. Same issue with the term, "People of Color". It is built in to create division.
Add to it that many of the left preach that the definition of racism is prejudice plus power. Well, that is convenient because this makes that blacks can't be racist only white people can. This is an actually position from many on the left.
Julie, I'm sure you are aware of sites like Cop Block have documenting police abuse against everyone. This is the issue. Conservatives might have been more receptive to this argument prior to the rise of the Black Lives Matter. However, it has made conservatives feel they have to defend cops. I don't think this by accident.
Profound statement. All that should not go unnoticed.
Its true police brutality and the police state effects everyone, but it effects black people more historically and now. The Drug War alone created horrible things in the black community. Im sure BLM movement knows police are bad with whites too just like how the mens rights know society are bad towards women too.
But almost everyone you are subscribed to is white nationalist alt righter, so stop acting like you are a libertarian lol
@Eric Beller I did not say everyone hes subbed to is a white nationalist alt right, I said most of the people hes subbed to.
@Trinket Mage Im sorry but Libertarians do not believe what you are saying about cops. Cops are viewed by libertarians are malitarized police state. We should Reform police training, better vetting of cops, reform the police department, consequences for police brutality, stop the war on drugs, demilitarize the cops, decriminalize none violent crimes, community policing, independent investigator or police brutality, ending for profit policing.....
I can give you a small example about how history effects today if you are actually interested. The history of the war on drugs (which all Libertarians are against) have put most black men in jail and it still continues. This destroyed the family structure in the black community that 70% of black people are born without a father. Unlike before the war on drugs when black people used to be very family oriented. This is effecting the black community by generations so its important to understand black history. Yet right wingers who know nothing about black history will say black people have low IQ and are not capable of living in America. This is just one small example out of many..
Funny thing is we all agree there is something bad going on with cops yet we choose to fight BLM which is currently putting up the best fight against state authoritarian abuse. That's right right wing SJW stuff right there.
I prefer the term “all black lives matter.” It’s not dismissive, but it calls out one of my biggest gripes with the BLM organization, that action is only taken by people for highly reported cases of black people being killed. Them willfully ignoring or not wanting to do anything for other black lives that have been lost implies that the way you died or the attention it got brings more value to that life and also deserves more disgust.
Well said and amen.
Also #UnbornBlackLivesMatter
Whether your life matters or not should not depend on whether or not I think it does.
"Cry babies need validation" is a better chant.
Unless you're a police officer kneeling on my neck, then it does matter to me that you think my life matters.
Wow. She just went SJW
How?
Joey546 , unhelpful and even counterproductive virtue signaling. Peddling the mainstream narrative of “systemic racism.” Ignoring crucial contexts while perpetuating a divisive cliche. All in less than 90 seconds.
Yeah, i'm getting that vibe too. Let's be honest, nobody would respond to "White Lives Matter" anywhere near as positively as merely saying "All Lives Matter". You'd be called a racist/nazi and likely be assaulted if they think they'd get away with it.
No. She just expressed an opinion that is different from you. It's a hard pill to swallow but you can do it.
You are a communist shill like Judy and are making excuses. You are wrong and part of the problem.
I think its also important that blacks live do matter but still condemn the negative actions and even some of the ideas in which can be espoused by Black Lives Matter when it comes to some political and economic positions.
I wholeheartedly agree. It’s unfortunate there aren’t more that can understand this. Peaceful protesting and raising awareness of racial bias is something I can stand behind. Looting and rioting is not.
@V.P. Patrick Bateman, Pierce & Pierce - M&A so Nazis support black lives?
The problem is the facts just don't bear out the idea that police are killing black people in any statistically significant way over any other group (currently, in the past this might have been true). Your whole "fathers matter" analogy is flawed because we have the facts to support that fathers have specific issues in specific areas. The statistics say black people are killed proportionately LESS than other racial groups by police. It is just the media and the higher incidence of criminal activity that cause the incidents involving black people to get more attention. I do have to point out, had George Floyd not been committing criminal acts, he would still be alive. I also have to point out there is zero evidence that any of the four cops involved were motivated by racism. Thus, Black Lives Matter being involved here is not actually about them caring about black lives (if so, they would be doing far more to reduce the black-on-black killings, which amount to far more deaths in the black community than cops killing people) and more about them disliking cops and trying to protect black criminal activity.
EXACTLY. Context matters, the current socio-political climate matters, systemic AUTHORITARIANISM matters...
Thank you
They do show however that the police do regularly use excessive force on citizens. The question is what have you done about that.
I would also like to point out, I haven't seen one person who disagrees with me that the officers should face criminal charges (probably Murder). I am sure someone exists but even people who love/hate the Last Jedi seem to be in agreement on that . . . .So what change specifically are the protests trying to effect, it's not something that is ok socially, It's not something hardly anyone thinks is ok legally?
All lives do matter. If you say one matters more than the other. You just defeated all arguments that any life matters.
Nobody says one life matters more than the other. Pay attention.
Shane apparently that is what they are saying. PAY ATTENTION BOY.
Can you tell me the laws that you have in the USA that discriminate based upon race? Because I can give you a long list of laws that discriminate based upon gender.
I want the list, go
@@englandcolors Okay i'll start. Female only shortlists, longer prison sentences for the same crimes, forced to pay child support on a kid that isn't yours, rape being defined by anal or vaginal penetration, male circumcision being legal when female is illegal. Shall I keep going?
Start with university preferences.
@@englandcolors University preferences
Trinket Mage , I think you both shocked englandcolors into silence.
True, but the first phrase is antagonizing to those who already believe it. Here's a better slogan: "Kill your TV"
Wikipedia cites that in the USA 140,000 men are raped every year in jail. Please do a video on this.
(I also take neither side between the BLM vs. police controversy, as there is enough about which one can criticize both sides. Larken Rose makes a pretty compelling argument in one of his recent videos.)
Two things wrong with this. First, when BLM says "black lives matter", they aren't saying it because the lives of black people matter, they're saying it as a litmus test for whether you'll capitulate to their narrative or not. Second, if I said "fathers matter" as an advocate for fathers, and someone responded "all parents matter", I wouldn't get mad and say "how rude", I'd say "I'm glad you agree with me, but it seems like you might not be aware of the many ways fathers are hurt by our system. Did you know that ?".
Chill Julie... like seriously.
Factual validity of the statement doesn't justify malicious intents of the organization.
Thanks for clarifying, Julie.
Thank you for verbalizing what I have been unable to verbalize!
Very well done!
Yeah, but do fathers have a ridiculous crime rate that makes them confront the police almost daily?
No, but if you want a comparison it doesnt matter if the father or the mother is the victim of domestic violence because thefather is 100% going to jail 99.9% of the time. And 100% of the time hes losing all of his shit in divorce.
Actually yes, fathers are farrrrr more violent than mothers. Congrats your point failed completely
@@englandcolors Hey moron. Fathers, men in general don't go to the doctor's, don't report harrasment, and especially don't report abuse and the rate of domestic violence not reported by men because its still seen as embarrassing makes somestic violence around 48% happen to men and 52% for women.
@@englandcolors search a video named "The Truth About Domestic Violence - You'll Never Believe..." by Stefan Molineaux. Then come back and tell me fathers are far more violent than mothers.
Dont forget their brain hardwired for agression and lack of impulse control.
Ahh, but if it was “Father’s Lives Matter” to me that changes the response. It’d bring the thought “why just Father’s Lives”? The context changes.
See my comment above when I pointed out the fact that there really is no war on blacks, but there is most definitely a war on fathers of all colours. Julie is a bit of a hypocrite and really not that smart.
0:43 Bad analogy. Those are slogans of two different movements. I'd expect "Both Parents Matter" would be criticizing homosexual adoption.
It is a tautology, is it not？
Thank you❤️
I don't agree with everything black lives matter does but the reason they get upset when people say "all lives matter" is because they think they are in danger and let's be real, they are. And things do need to change
@Eric Beller no by both but that also depends on location. Yeah if you live in Chicago it will most likely be black on black but that is not the case for everywhere in the world. The main problem is police violence in general. Because it's not just black men that police have been known to unjustly kill
@Eric Beller I don't disagree with that. But right now that's not the issue the issue is police aggression. And if we say things like "blacks are more likely to kill blacks" then we move away from the topic of police aggression and nothing gets done
Yess growth, we love to see it 👏
The real truth is nobody deep down really truly gives a crap about anyone's life but their own unless it's your children, siblings or parents. So really nobody's life matters but to a few.
That’s sad If you feel that way but don’t generalize that selfishness to everyone. There are people to spend years training to be able to help and care for people they don’t know
This isn't a normal way to think.
I have to challenge your premise and your analogy, Julie. Trying to be polite and leaving no room for misunderstanding is resulting in a small essay, so let me cut to the point (and it'll still be a long post):
Take the analogy you used in your video, but make it a "Mothers Matter" group. Even if you change nothing else, it'll be a more accurate comparison. How women were treated in our country versus how darker skinned people were. Now, if your politics haven't changed too much since I began viewing your content (assuming I didn't misunderstand most of your videos), this already should raise a red flag for you.
In fact, explaining why Black Lives Matter isn't too be trusted works well with this: imagine a movement that says something you would otherwise agree with, but they're using emotional appeals (at best) and mob violence (at worst) to pursue the agenda. The leadership are people you know *not* to trust; radical feminists, the sincere-but-gullible, and probable grifters.
Even if we pretended we were at the beginning of this movement... Black Lives Matter doesn't make sense. This is supposed to be an issue of police brutality, and that affects Americans and residents of all types, not just "black people". We can't even be sure if it affects blacks disproportionately because real life is complicated. The same stats are interpreted in different ways by different groups, reaching different (often opposing) conclusions.
"All Lives Matter" is a bad slogan, but "Black Lives Matter" is as well. "Police Brutality Matters" sounds stupid, but it keeps with the naming scheme and focuses on the _actual_ issue. *Unless* we really are talking about black lives, in which case BLM needs to at least address - if not tackle - the leading causes of death in the black community... and it ain't the cops.
You explained this very clearly, the likes to dislikes ratio is overwhelming in this video because people seem reluctant to understand the point, quite unfortunate because I think you are being very fair. Unfortunately people are under the impression that you support Black Lives Matter, which explains the number of dislikes even though you did not claim to support them
Well... I guess you earned your right to post a bad video on your channel after all the good ones you made.
SauerGustavo 🔥
😉
I think that all lives matter/both parents matter shouldn't be said in response but instead in solidarity.
Well shit....that actually makes sense.
Compared to any other explanation I have seen
Thanks for all you do
Bingo!
Hell yes, glad you did this video.
Respect is mutual and/or earned, when a group dismisses everything outside of their narrow (and racist) focus then it's only fair to be a bit dismissive. At least no one is saying "White Lives Matter", although that might show these race fanatics what their own movement looks like to those who are neutral. But hey, I prefer egalitarianism to feminism or mgtows and imma unsub now. Ciao.
I liked this breakdown, thank you!
Yeah, you are right!
Why does it look like she’s gearing up to tell me about this one time at band camp?
Yeah really well laid out. Very gpod and compelling point.
great!
Interesting perspective
I understand your logic. Where it falls apart is in practice. By looking at the race instead of the greater trend of excessive force used by police we ignore when someone’s crappy house was labeled as “entrenched” and they got their head popped like a grape by a police sniper but freak out when someone is killed indirectly during the course of a drug bust.
Both involved excessive force but one was intentional to kill someone who was unarmed and the other was unintentionally during the course of removing a criminal who damages the community, society, and was potentially physically dangerous.
Both cases are excessive. Solve one, you solve the other. Police using excessive force is the issue and to make it about race is to ignore the larger picture for your own personal ideology.
I'd still say that 'Children need a mother and a father 👨👩👧👦'.
And I'll still say that 'All Lives Matter'.
Straight up fire!
What you are saying seems a bit strange to me when it seems what it really means is Black Liberal lives matter. Or Black lives matter that carry the same view as us. All lives matter... to try and put a condition on it highlights a difference that we should not accept. There are also other lives that are marginalized that are not black. As a matter of fact, all races are marginalized in their own way.
Are you starting to go more left? 😜
Brad Roberts in general I think She has been fairly conservative on the identity politics. I’m 1/2 teasing her. I think she has always been a free thinker, in the sense that she doesn’t outright dismiss an idea just because it comes from one side of the political spectrum
Brad Roberts , I don’t know about most. But lots are, unfortunately.
This is the best explanation of this topic I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Personally, I believe that all living things are important, regardless of skin color
I get the subtext 😉 "Black Fathers Matter"
I get where you're going with that, but make no mistake my generation (ironically, Millennials) and younger are reversing the trend of absent black father's, especially since most of us (not me personally) were a victim of that trend.
Oh man, is that what shes really going for here lol
That would hold a lot more water so to speak.
Tried to explain this to someone they looked at me like I had a third eyeball.
I agree with your logic 100. And I agree with BLM as a saying/statement. But not as a movement. And the BLM movement only seem to pop up when the loss of black lives is caused at the hands of a non black. Regardless, the statement is true. And the logic that you have portrayed is on point; most people that say All lives matter only say that to Dismiss BLM.
Speaking of dismissive, aren't we being dismissive of police brutality by steering away from reform and toward race?
This is a great explanation.
Thank you for saying this 👏👏👏
Yup, this is Very true!! Good job!
I share your view Julie. I originally thought BLM was the wrong term and not egalitarian. However, nobody's lives will matter if you don't defend the most persecuted lives in a society. I thought libertarians would be better than falling in line so strongly on the right wing on this one. It will only matter to them when the level of brutality this big government police force inflicts on black people starts happening to them. We're seeing some of that in the news now. Fellow libertarians - please see the bigger picture.
Really, then why is big government being voted by BLM advocates which is a self proclaimed Marxist organization? Which part of playing the victim in order to ask for free shit and dismissal of any personal accountability in life, by supporting an increasingly bigger government who is there to screw the ones who work to give to those who don't want to? The bigger picture here, is that this part of social Marxism ideology, an intersection of self-proclaim victim groups who spend their lives crying as a career choice, in order to claim free shit, entitlements and privileges, which the working man has to pay for.
@@whateverwhatever3249 I too watch Jordan Peterson. He's great. This is not relevant right now.

@@gsimon123 Did you even read the argument at all? Clearly not!
Saying BLM is much closer to saying Mothers Matter than Fathers Matter. Using your example.
Good
Great points!
If I said that fathers matter, and someone replied that both parents matter, I'd say "Yes, exactly - that's what I'm saying" and we'll have an understanding. That's because the media and various organizations *actually do* propagate the notion that fathers (and men in general) don't matter, promote single-mother households as empowering, and so on. This gives actual meaning to saying "fathers matter" and when someone says "both parents matter", it means the same thing. The premise of "black lives matter", on the other hand, is that black lives don't matter (in western societies no less), which is ridiculous and I completely regect it. Police brutality is not a racial problem. I hope that cleared it up a bit.
Final fantasy Moogles lives matter
It's a bit more serious than being a mere word salad. (Why am I getting hungry?).
I figured I'd come back, now a month later, and re-watch this video. My apologies to you, Julie, but after re-watching to be sure that this wasn't just satire or the like, I now have unsubbed you. I don't expect you to care, but there it is. The simple truth is that this whole idea that "all lives matter" is dismissive is not true in the way that you seem to think. Does it dismiss the idea that Black Lives Matter more? Yes. and that only. Until I can be shown actual proof that there is deep seated systemic racism as claimed, I will always say that all lives matter and that includes black lives. Likely even after, because the statement is still true.
Dad is awesome...
be your best Dad.
I love this. I’m sharing.
Wow, and they wonder why kids are so screwed up.
Now I’m more confused than ever.
Oh wow. Before I got off of facebook years ago, I was subscribed/followed to Julie and respected her commentary. .......my, how things have changed......
She didn't have to touch this stupid topic. I guess she needs to sound woke..?
But who is really arguing that black lives don’t matter? I have no problem with saying the term “black lives matter.” Of course they do. But the implication of many who repeat this phrase ad nauseam seem to suggest that many, if not most of us in America don’t really think black lives actually matter. And as many have been saying “all lives won’t matter until black lives matter.” Sure. But again, who are these people supposing that black lives don’t matter? Essentially, what I’m asking, is what is the phrase meant to accomplish? What is the end goal here? What does it look like when people who shout this phrase will finally say “black lives now matter”?
I’m also wondering if it was intentional to put “Fathers matter” next to “black lives matter” at the end there. 🤔
I think it's meant to accomplish that no matter how bad a person is or the horrible things they've done if their skin's black their life still matters 😂
Also if father's lives actually mattered then why aren't more black people being fathers 😂
She's dating a black guy is now officially confirmed!
just peace
I do agree with that actually because when I say Celtic Lives Matter, Germanic Lives Matter and Greek Lives Matter then I would agree it is dismissive if people reply with All Lives Matter because often when Celts, Germanics and Greeks are mistreated, abused and neglected then when we speak up, we are dissmissed and not even allowed to talk about it so I must conclude that our lives in large degree does not matters to the larger society
I don’t disagree with you, you’ve always been well thought out in your videos. But regardless if you believe black lives matter or all lives matter if you don’t believe more or totally one way rather than the other you often get accused of being the oppressor by proxy and that isn’t fair. Furthermore, I’m not saying the cop killed that man because he was black or wasn’t black but I really think that cop just wanted to hurt or kill someone because that is just who he is. A true oppressor!
#AllLivesMatter Supporters are not trying to shut down #BlackLivesMatter
We are only trying to show people that ALL Races can be victim to racism. Many people these days think that only Black people can be victims of racism. The George Floyd situation is an excellent example. Suddenly, everyone cares. Just because of the fact that George Floyd was black and the officer was white. Noone, however, cares about the millions of white people killed by officers too. We need to truly make everyone equal, because the world is slowly turning to black superiority.
It's funny that while your point is a good way of explaining the general idea of the term black lives matter, it also does an amazing job( I think unwittingly) of dismissing the BLM movement. If you go to the black lives matter website what you find in their "what we believe" section, among other things, is this.
"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable."
"Mothers, parents, and children" No fathers.
Everyone matters. Every demographic is statistically more prone to something than another. One may want to signal for their own group or another. Everyone could complain about something. There is something much bigger than ALL of this & we must all stand against it, together.
Black lives certainly matter. I think the poor people in Africa should get as much assistance as our generosity can provide.
Same as saying something like "pay only matters once the pay gap matters" ;)
Very similar reasoning there. Cherry picked generalisations plus a hint of wokeness.
Fine )
This is why you're one of the few conservative creators I still follow. Great video.
This is why I love Julie. Too many libertarians think that being libertarian Means they have to be culturally conservative.
Well said
Fun fact: the motto of "Families Need Fathers
," in the UK, is "Because both parents matter
."
I'm usually being somewhat dismissive on purpose. I do that because police brutality (and many other injustices pinned under the # BLM) are actually dismissing other cases not involving black people. Which is why I think the phrase is good, and should have been the original one, as it is less divisive and dismissive.
That's a very solid take on the issue.
My only problem, using this take as an example, would be if people started forming a hate mob calling for continual terrorist violence that used "Fathers matter" as it's rallying cry.
Because then yeah Fathers still matter. But now 'your' words are drowned out by the actions of your movement. "Fathers matter" would now be something worthy of a kneejerk response.
I'm not just talking about the recent riots either. I had a moment of genuine respect for BLM years back when a BLM group hosted a picnic and invited the local cops to it in a genuine attempt at togetherness and harmony.
And then the very next day the recognized leaders of the movement reprimanded them because cops are the enemy and this was akin to trying to make friends with Hitler during WW2 instead of trying to kill him.
They, as a whole, haven't gotten better since then.
_"Both"_ parents matter? But what if I have three mommies? ;).
Nailed it!
Your advertising for someone. it's a slogan for a business which means the business has no mandate to deliver on what the term denotes hence Terry Crew's recent experience. It amounts to saying Just Do It.
Another way to look at it is all lives matter, but black people are saying black lives matter too. Its weird how some people refuse to understand what is said and choose to nit pick what the word literally means.
I used to hate the BLM movement because it used to be a SJW movement that cared about celebrities and PC culture. Now I support the BLM movement and hope they can create something better.
@@ijiikieru Even when I hated BLM I think it was obvious they meant BLM too and they just wanted the focus on their issues. I never took an issue with the name, I had an issue with how SJW they are. I think today the movement has grown and it represents a huge group of people that the SJW are lost inside the movement which is good.
It isn't about the word.....people say "all lives matter" to make it sound like they care.....even though they don't. How many more people do you think would be in the streets if they said "all" instead of "black"? Answer: NONE. The difference of ONE WORD is being used as an excuse to not give a shit. When someone says "Breast cancer sucks" do you retort "ALL CANCER SUCKS!" and get offended that they didn't also mention colon cancer? I bet if you make a donation to the Komen Foundation that the Colon Cancer Foundation is PISSED.
@Trinket Mage The point is to raise awareness of issues facing a specific population.
I PROVE my life matters every day, by the way I respect other people. By the way I love and honor my spouse, the mother of my children. By the way that I show my children that I love them and respect them unconditionally. By the way that I do what is right and just, even when nobody is looking. By the way that I follow the laws of the land, or help to drive change. By the way that I work every day to provide a decent life for my family. By the way that I respect those that do a job that I cannot or will not; from our military, health care workers and police, to the person who picks up my trash each week. I do not need a sign, or a shirt that tells everyone my life matters. I do not need to burn down a building to prove that my life matters. I do not need to take another person's life to prove that my life matters. I just prove it to you every day. You cannot force me to accept that your life matters, show me. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that the world would be a better place if more people thought this way...
Good point. Most people don't have the mental capacity to understand BLM
Maybe we should have a "fathers matter" movement. Then maybe we wouldn't have to have a "black lives matter" movement. I think that would be much more productive discussion. Labelling the country and its people as racist and using a slogan to silence people and prevent honest discussion is wrong, and I won't participate in any movement where I have to confess my supposed "racism" or denounce my country as racist to sit down at the table.
This, this is good.
