“Kill transgenders” and “kill faggots”. Good times.

Glad they’re sick and tired of trying to pretend they’re not a hate group at least.

Now hang on a minute. All Lives Matter is a completely voluntary organization, and there for, you cannot judge the organization on the actions of a few individuals. (no matter how many bricks and mollies they throw)

Sure! I'll happily agree that they can have a variety of views, including just being a cover for white supremacy. If only they can explain one thing: how can they fail to understand the very basics of English grammar?

If I say "video games are art" we clearly understand that I'm saying video games are a form of art, and should be considered as such in analysis. I'm clearly not saying that video games are the only form of art, and that we should ignore Citizen Kane or David because only video games are art.

If I say "Science fiction is literature" I am clearly saying that science fiction should be considered a form of literature instead of excluded by all the genre snobs. I am clearly not saying that Science Fiction is the only form of literature and that we should throw out Of Mice and Men or Les Miserables for not being sufficiently science fiction.

Yet somehow I'm supposed to believe there's a large number of people who don't understand what is meant by "black lives matter?"

I can throw that same argument back at BLM. The second you mention black on black crime suddenly it isn't about black lives but only about black victims of police brutality.

And I can say Only back victims in that context. Sure as sh*t they didn't give a f*ck about that white guy in Texas who died the Exact same way George Floyd did.

No, actually you can't. Because again, it's completely clear what it means from context.

Always attack, never defend. Because some of this shit ends up being pretty indefensible, doesn't it?

Ignore the argument because you already think you've won. How very socialist of you.

Point out how black live matters doesn't care about black live, but only police violence, and only black victims of police violence is completely reasonable. Very defensible.

You sure it isn't on account of black people and progressive activist will shout them down if they try to claim that a white person is a victim in any context?

I mean the fact that they are siding with the people that strangle to death both whites and blacks with next to no recourse until a nation wide protest breaks out and shouting for the deaths of various groups indicates that they aren't too concerned about anyone's lives. Probably should rebrand themselves as "No Lives Matter" for the sake of Truth in advertising.

I think when they're screaming "Kill faggots" and "kill transgenders" they might have made that point.
