Do Black Lives Matter? OR, Should ALL Lives Matter?

[Zaac]

That sounds fair.

It's hilarious robustheologian. They are all up in arms about me calling the cops terrorists when they have used every opportunity of a black person being murdered by the cops to call the dead folks thugs, to say they got what they deserved, etc, etc.

And then they have the audacity to try to marginalize it when folks say "Black lives matter" by saying "All lives matter".

A bunch of horse manure because if they REALLY felt like All lives Mattered, they'd be supporting the folks being murdered instead of the murdering terrorist police officers.

That sounds fair.

Not exactly. If someone has a history of criminality, then "thug," while somewhat harsh, is actually an acceptable adjective that describes the individual's past behavior, regardless of their skin color.

Likewise, until proven guilty of intent, we do not legally call someone a murderer.

Just because one wants to call someone a terrorist or a murderer, doesn't make it "fair."

Simply a terse way of you expressing that your attempts to bully and manipulate have failed..:smilewinkgrin:

I think The Dude may have been correct in calling you "son". Your use of emoticons and playing the victim certainly does remind me of him.

If someone has a history of murder, then "murderer," while somewhat harsh, is actually an acceptable adjective that describes the individual's past behavior, regardless of their skin color.

I wonder if these individuals protest the Susan G. Komen breast cancer race saying "All cancers matter".

Yea well that is the exact same thing isn't it?


Why do liberals struggle to make legitimate comparisons.

Hey Zaac I see you are still posting just the opposite of what someone else says largely because you cannot defend your own position.

Wrong person...you either were not paying attention or you're just deluded.

Yes of course.

Of course; but one must prove a history of murder. If one is tried for murder and found not guilty, then one is not legally a "murderer." A policeman may kill someone while in the performance of his duties; there is no forethought, malice, planning, nor any of the other requirements that identify the act as "murder."

To continue to use the term without proof that the term is applicable is merely histrionics and hyperbole, and has no place in a rational, intelligent discussion.

How does this qualify as even remotely an appropriate analogy?

I hope this isn't going to go down the road of "why aren't there more prostate awareness events? Prostate cancer claims roughly the same number of victims as breast cancer. Male lives matter."

 

[Rolfe]

I have one guess who the two who voted that black lives matter and not all.

What a tacky thing to post...

Wasn't me. :laugh: I never vote in his silly polls. In fact I don't ever vote in any of the polls. So I'm gonna bet that your one guess is wrong. :laugh:

Good for you. Neither what you think or what he thinks means much.

AMEN!!!:applause:

Now that just wouldn't be socially acceptable. Now they will argue with you about it. But your analogy is 100% on point.:thumbs:

 

[Zaac]

It's a fantastic analogy. Susan G. Komen promotes Breast Cancer Awareness. How many of you are running around saying why doesn't the organization promote ALL Cancer Awareness?

Call it what you like. I believe the black community would be correct to refer to them as murderers and terrorists when it comes to black people.
