Yes but that's just your personal valuation and hence subjective, in reality, absolutely nothing has objective value.

I mean I sometimes value my life, and I value the life of Izzy above mine or any of yours, but that's just my subjective opinion.

Sirius, I think you're getting confused by the name of the movement. No one would disagree that black lives matter, but the movement, 'black lives matter', is inherently stupid and isn't contributing anything to help.

The twice as many whites as blacks argument is so stupid. The black population in America is about 12%, whereas the white population is around 77%. Even if the # of whites killed is double, the amount is still disproportionate. My assumption to why it is disproportionate is simply because there usually is more minorities living in poverty, which is mostly where gun violence happens.

"you're in pain? well i didn't do anything to you."

does that sound like black lives actually mattering to you?

1. Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015.

2. More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks.

3. The Post's data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man...but this does not tell the whole story.

4. Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers.

5. Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops.

none of this means anything. all of your 'hurr, look' bullsht isn't worth sht

Maybe they should have picked a better catchphrase.

i mean, maybe don't say it when someone else is trying to be heard and ain't nothing wrong with you, because that's just dumb af shutting the next person down

"black lives matter"

"hurr, no, all lives matter"

and that's that. good talk, folks. real progress made here today.

That's contingent on whether or not I believe human life matters in general.

deletedalmost 9 years

no it isn't.

Well, that, and apparently it's offensive for me to say that my life also matters.

deletedalmost 9 years

black lives do matter tho, right folks?

roadman says

White lives matter.

this is more or less why blm fails. it's a bunch of people crying about how their lives matter, black and white, and nobody's fcking listening to anyone else lol
