Saw this on my Facebook. So very true!

AIBU to call out these people? Is it only All Lives Matter when you look a certain way?

Hoping this provokes a prick in their conscious.

All Lives Matter - where are you?!

KittenKong · 21/08/2021 09:00

SimonJT · 21/08/2021 09:00

@Mybabies20122013

For dumb people that don't understand, all lives matter means every single life on earth. People say all lives don't matter until black lives do, which is a stupid comment because they are saying that black people are not apart of all lives, white people don't say that. Black people are the most racist! Also some say you can't be racist to a white person 🤔 that's racist in it's self, there saying white people aren't apart of the human race, they need to educate themselves more. I'm not racist, most people aren't, but as soon as a white person says that then their automatically racist, people are throwing the race card around like it means nothing anymore.
Hmm

Black people are the most racist!

"Black people are the most racist!
I'm not racist, most people aren't"

Just incredibly thick then.

@Mybabies20122013

For dumb people that don't understand, all lives matter means every single life on earth. I take it you are vegan then?

People say all lives don't matter until black lives do well yes, if all lives matter means everyone, and some people dont care about black lives then yes all lives dont matter until everyone cares about all lives inc black ones, so you are scoring an own goal here

which is a stupid comment because they are saying that black people are not apart of all lives, white people don't say that no they are saying that some people (inc you apparently) dont care about black lives as much as white lives (for complete clarity its not as simple as black and white but lets not confuse this poster with too much science) - they are just making the point that black lives do actually matter. It the same old no one tells the save the rainforest people "all forests matter" because thats not the point, you are missing the point spectacularly

Black people are the most racist! what you've met every black person and every white person and dont the analysis? no? you shock me (except you dont because you know, you are clearly racist)

Also some say you can't be racist to a white person 🤔 that's racist in it's self, there saying white people aren't apart of the human race, they need to educate themselves more urrr no, people who say this are not saying white people aren't part of the human race. Interesting interpretation. They are pointing out that whilst it is possible for someone to be rude about a white person, the root of racism comes from power imbalance. Now it is possible that there are countries where racism to white people is possible because of the balance of power, I don't know. What I do know is that in the UK and the USA the balance of power is firmly tilted in the direction of white people for example.

I'm not racist, most people aren't you are

but as soon as a white person says that then their automatically racist you aren't racist because you say you aren't you are racist because of your abhorrent comment about black people

people are throwing the race card around like it means nothing anymore. never noticed people actually throwing cards around, what is one of these race cards, I never got issued with one? (for clarity mine would be white(ish)) I can't even understand this comment!

Hope this helps... (yes I know it wont because you cant argue with stupid but there you go)

catsandhens · 09/10/2021 11:25

sorry mnhq you deleted that post whilst I was replying to it, I probably should have let it get to me (I havent had my morning coffee yet).

HeyFloof · 09/10/2021 11:30

Mybabies20122013 no, you're definitely racist.

sqirrelfriends · 09/10/2021 13:15

I do think that all human lives matter, but I would never say that as a response to "black lives matter" because that would make me a massive dick.

Imo when people say that they are saying one of two things:

Black people aren't more important than me, a white person. Or;

Your struggles aren't important to me.

I will say, I've noticed the "all lives matter" people in my life are anti refugee in general. I wonder how they would feel if a murderous terrorist group were taking over their city.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 09/10/2021 13:51

@Mybabies20122013 people need to educate themselves more

Shall I tell you how many spelling and grammar errors were in your post?

It's "people WHO don't understand" (not "that don't understand").
"A part", not "apart".
Remember speech marks are a thing! Also commas. Also paragraphs.
"Itself", not "It's self".
"They're" , not "Their".
"Any more", not "Anymore".

We'll have a chat about critical thinking skills once you've mastered the basics.

I know correcting SPAG is generally frowned upon, but I think it's OK in this instance Grin
