I think I have figured it out (at least for myself, can’t speak for everyone ofc) Before we should use #AllLivesMatter We first need to solve all issues around #BlackLivesMatter ♥️ I really like the ‘burning house’ comparisons if you know what I mean! All are equal, all are important but we have to make that happen.. Unfortunately things don’t change by themselves but by us♥️ Please don’t interpret this wrong because I mean well😻♥️ I was quite about this topic because I’m afraid I hurt people..

@IronMan Thank you for the kind words Tony ❤️ I am always open to suggestion and opinions from other so I can expand my own horizon :flan_hug: We are together on this planet and we need to solve and do this with each other so why not getting to know one and another 😍 The strenght of humanity! 💪

@stux Thats seems so overly simplistic as to miss the real point in my view.There is a comic that I think came close to a good example...One guy (representing blacks) has both legs shot and is bleeding to death and he is being dragged to the hospital. Another guy has just one leg shot and is also bleeding to death (representing non-blacks).. The guy with just one leg show out goes "You're going to help me too" and everyone looks at him with disgust.To me focusing just on BLM (which should have a significant voice btw and not ignored) is the equivalent of helping just the guy with two legs shot out and ignore the other guy. However saying "Every Life Matters" is more a kin to trying to stop violent shooters directly. It fixes the problem for the black community but addresses the problem for everyone else at the same time. The only real way to see any meaningful results.You cant solve problems that effects everyone by having tunnel vision for only one aspect of the problem.@IronMan @realcaseyrollins

@freemoI think it's fine to shout "black lives matter" until the guy gets sent to the hospital tho. Question is, after he gets there and the surgery is in progress, will you go back for the one shot in only one leg?@stux @IronMan

@freemo I see your point but currently there's a issue going around the 'guy with 2 legs shot' and not the 'one leg shot' guy 🤔 I'm all for no-violence in general, always but at the moment there's something else going within the bigger subject I guess @IronMan @realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club

@realcaseyrollins My point is if all you keep doing is sending people with both legs shot to the hospital and not address the bigger problem the end result is an endless stream of people getting shot. The ones with two shots get help (sometimes) and the ones with one shot keep dying. You dont solve the problem until you address the root cause, which you cant do unless you achknowledge both groups are getting shot.The point is, you dont solve problems by having tunnel vision. The issue in the police force has less to do with racism and more to do with the fact that it creates an environment where cruelty can thrive. Racism is just one sort of popular cruelty that thrives in that context.What everyone thinks is the problem is racism (and yes its real and a big problem).. what the actual problem is that cops are above the law, and being above the law means cruelty thrives, that means racism, just as much as cruelty against a white dude (which is 50% of those who are unarmed and killed).You address the accountability problem and you eliminate the ability for racism to thrive, problem solve. You try to eliminate just the racism you only solve 25% of the problem and, well, its a much harder problem to solve as well.@stux @IronMan

@freemoThe problem, however, doesn't effect everyone equally. It effects black people more. Therefore, #BlackLivesMatter White lives have always mattered.There is a large amount of material written by black people on this matter. It's very easy to educate yourself. Please do. It's not tunnel vision to wake up to systemic racism. @stux @realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club

@stux Well yes there is, thats my whole point. Cops being racist against blacks is legit, but as you said there is something else going on within the bigger subject. Which is why tunnel vision about just the black aspect of a much more complicated subject isnt helping (though again should be a strong voice).The real problem is a lack of accountability of police, them being above the law. Which in turn has the indirect effect of racism being able to thrive.@IronMan

@IronMan Of course it doesnt effect everyone equally, that isnt the point of saying Every Life Matters.I have read a **ton** of material on the matter, education is not my problem.Again as I said no one is saying blacks are effected equally, nor is anyone saying that them taking the brunt of the abuse shouldnt be a voice, its hould. But again you dont solve problems by addressing only 25% of it. With a larger view of what is the real problem (police being above the law) the problem becomes simple to solve in a way that is inclusive of the racial concerns (change the laws so cops dont have protection).But when all you talk about is the 25% of the problem that is the racial aspect you dont think about those solutions. You think about race and try to solve racism (which is a noble effort) and still keep having the same problem year after year.You will never solve intricate problems with many issues by focusing on one aspect of it and demonising anyone who speaks about the greater problem along with all its nuance. That is a failure before you even begin.@stux

@IronMan Fair no not everyone. But we have an encvironment where its the only issue really being discussed. When someone comes along and tries to bring up the greater picture by talking about "Every Life" rather than just black lives you get people getting mad and attacking rather than discussing the bigger picture.So no not everyone, but the point is the way in which these dialogues take place and the exclusion of the bigger picture embodied by talking about "every life" is ultimately why we have a failure to fix it after decades of trying.@stux

@QueenRamonda QED to my point right here, and a disgusting remark.Dont get me wrong there are abslutely ALM people whoa re racist (and partly why I choose to say Every Life Matters, to distance myself from them). But to claim anyone trying to talk about a bigger problem that happens to include non-blacks is automatically racist is both reductionist and self-destructive, not to mention just plain ignorant and rude.@IronMan @stux

@QueenRamonda If your going to imply I'm racist along with everyone who ever talked about every life in relation to police brutality, then yes. I'd say the assertion of name calling when it is completely unfounded generally doesnt warrant my attention to read an article.If it werent for that little quip I would have been very willing to hear what you have to say.As a Native American myself who has many friends of many minorities, many of whom who are black, who share my opinion that we need to look at the bigger picture in a way that isnt limited to just the black issue, it seems insulting to label them and others en masse as racist. Especially when you yourself didnt really bother to read my own ideas or provide any real criticism. You basically jumped in, called me and everyone who thinks like me racist, and advertised your article you wrote that wasnt even in direct response to anything I said.So yes, I invested as much time into listening to you as you did listening to me.@IronMan @stux

@freemo @IronMan @stux One example I heard which helped me understand "All Lives" as a attempt to diffuse this horrific issue. One sees specific events focused on breast cancer or lung cancer all the time. NO ONE confronts the participants by shouting "All Cancers Matter". That would be insane.Yet, certain Americans definitely have a problem with "Black" and I believe I know why.

@freemoIt disproportionately affects black people. That's why it's getting talked about separately, and it should be until it's no longer a problem. I also prefer to listen to what the oppressed community is asking for. #BlackLivesMatter is what they're asking for. On zero days do I believe myself someone who has the privilege to decide how an oppressed community should react to their oppression. I don't think you're open to a real discussion about this, so I'm moving on.@stux

@GlennGriffin8 @freemo @IronMan @stux I mean, they kind of should. Finding solutions to cancer as a whole would find solutions to breast cancer or lung cancer. I've always found it sort of nonsensical that we focus on trendy cancers like breast cancer—"muh save the ta-tas"—vs. just funneling money towards cancer research as a whole.

@IronMan Again none of what you said is in dispute1) no one said it doesnt effect blacks more it does, about 2x more.2) no one is saying it shouldnt be discussed seperately. In fact I have reiterated multiple times it should be discussed and even a focus.The issue is antagonism against people who are discussing, along side it, the bigger picture effective every life. It is antagonized against. People become hostile. They start implying (as you jsut did) that it is somehow meant to silence the BLM voice. It isnt, thats not the point. Its just that we **must** discuss all the issues and not have tunnel vision for just one. Thats whatyou seem to not be getting. You keep repeating the usual tropes that has nothing to do with what Every Life Matters as a point is even saying.Try listening to what I'm saying instead of trying tot ell me what people keep insisting I'm saying. Because they are very different things.@stux

@IronMan Not only is it a vital and common discussion among researchers, it is why the bulk of treatments tend to be generalized. Chemotherapy for example is not targeted for just breast cancer, it is a treatment that can be used effectively on all types of cancer.In fact you have indirectly proven my point in trying to disprove it.The fact that generalized treatments are far mroe effective and have made huge advances in helping giving cancer patients a shot, is exactly the point. It shows when you look at the big picture and dont have tunnel vision for just one aspect of the problem, then you create solutions that actually work, and they just so happen to address the specific concerns (like breast cancer) along the way.In fact there are few, if any, viable solutions that are exclusively for breast cancer. Teh vast majority of effective solutions we have are all generalized solutions like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.@GlennGriffin8 @stux

@IronMan While I dont work in cancer research myself I 1) am a Research Scientist so I have a pretty large circle of other scientists who include cancer researchers 2) I run a instance with 12K Scientists on it some of whom work in cancer research.Sorry, try again. But thats for that informed response, really shows you know more than me, I guess ill have to differ to your superior expertise.I'll just leave with this since you are incapable of reading full articulated responses and apparent are limited to just one line quips: Chemotherapy is the "Every Life Matters" of cancer treatments.@GlennGriffin8 @stux

@GlennGriffin8The question isn't whether it's only black people. The question is whether or not it's more black people than white people. And it is. White people are rarely even arrested for things black people are killed by police or people who think they are police. @freemo @stux

@IronMan At no point in this conversation did I or anyone disagree that blacks arent more effected than whites. Blacks are 2x more likely to be effected. Something I have now stated three times.So arguing the same point that was never being disagreed with is not really helping you.By the way while blacks **are** 2x more likely to be shot and killed when unarmed, and that deserves a strong voice, to say white people are barely effects is far from the truth. slightly less than 50% of all unarmed non-violent people killed and shot by police are white, and 25% are black (mapping police violence website is my source).So your counter point that it barely effects whites is trivially disproven.@GlennGriffin8 @stux

@stux I wouldnt say so. These discussions are vitally important. Blacks need a voice, and the bigger picture which is not race-centric also needs a voice. Bringing this topic to the forefront for discussion is valuable. I wouldnt say keeping it to yourself would be a good idea.Sure a few petty and childish people are going to get rude and have their tantrums. But thats the internet. The ones who remain respectful, hear out others, and consider the points will learn and grow from it despite them, and that is the real value.This isnt a popularity contest, its a growth opportunity. that is never in vain.

But since we are talking about black lives matter my language uses "blacks" simply because it is the habbit the phrase develops...If your really going to start arguing now about someone saying "blacks" instead of "black people".. i dunno that seems really pointless. I've never once heard anyone say one phrase is any worse or better than the other. Though I have heard the preference for PoC, which I can understand and get behind if need by.@stux @QueenRamonda

@stux The burning house comparasion is pointless. BLM is an organisation, that pushes riots and race-centered violence. Call me a racist if you want but when you see a video of 10 blacks beating up 1 white person to death while shouting "black lives matter", you can clearly see that all lives do NOT matter to them.TLDR, you cannot "balance" society by selective discrimination, because the people with problems you decide to ignore once will remain in the category "ignored" no matter how much they will suffer. The only way to construct a pieceful society is with a real principles like "All lives matter". And the moment you see anyone ignore that principle, you know bigger trouble is just around the corner.

@stuxI think we can focus on more than one skin color at a time...I'd like to see people fight for black, white, AND blue lives at the same time. People treat rights for different groups as being on different teams, but we're all human.

@stux goes well with what Adam Horowitz from the Beastie Boys said, “I’d rather be a hypocrite than the same person forever.” Even though he said it about a much different topic, I feel this view on being a hypocrite can help people in changing their views without being afraid of looking like a hypocrite.

Reducing/ending police brutality would help all ppls.problem w saying all lives mattr;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Lives_Mattertldr; the problem with all lives matter is that it feels like a dismissal of black lives matter.

@haland I think that saying All Lives Matter **is** sometimes a dismisal of BLM, and that is wrong. But I also think that is a minority of how it is used. Most people use it to supplement BLM, not to supplant it.But regardless if my judgement is wrong and you are right, the majority might use ALM to be dismissive of BLM I was very aware of that usage.. Notice I did two things1) I said "Every Life Matters" instead, to distance myself of any past poor usage of BLM2) I very explicitly stated the importance of BLM and that I wished it to be an important continued voice in the discussion but it is also important not to have tunnel vision and to be able to look at the problem beyond racial terms, in a context that accepts the problem exists for all races, whites included, so we can get a complete picture of the problem and derrive a complete solution.@stux @IronMan

@freemo @GlennGriffin8 @stux @QueenRamonda @IronMan We again see Trump's hatred of native americans just as he hates black americans, except the few who still support him.America cannot heal until after the racist Trump poison is purged from its governmental system.

@stux So, just to clarify, NOT all lives matter. Can you be so kind as to tell me which race's lives don't matter and why?

@stux You do realize the police kill three times more Whites than they do blacks, don't you? Why do you insist that only the black ones matter?

@freemo @IronMan @GlennGriffin8 @stux I find it amusing that he's the one who posted about "being mature enough to change your mind" but when you easily debunked his argument he muted you and ran away.

@freemo @IronMan @GlennGriffin8 @stux It happens. I remember being young and idealistic, when everything was in black and white and it could BE my way or the highway......... until I got myself around the world some and discovered that the highway is where you learn literally everything. And muting people is just chickenshit. Not heroic.

@pokerface Muting people has its place at a certain point.. But if your doing it just because you disagree with a stupid unimportant opinion then clearly you have some big personality issues of your own that need addressing.@IronMan @GlennGriffin8 @stux
