. Policy & Politics

The point of Black Lives Matter isn’t to suggest that black lives should be or are more important than all other lives, but instead that black people’s lives are relatively undervalued in the US (and more likely to be ended by police), and the country needs to recognize that inequity to bring an end to it.

(I understand the above paragraph – but my question is – the black people keep themselves indebted and undervalued because they continue to hang on to the Democratic Party.  So instead of blaming policemen – they need to place the blame where it belongs – the Democratic Party and  Obama.  Why  should they expect any different results when they continue doing the same thing over and over by voting in every election for the Democrats and expecting different results.)

 
Reddit user GeekAesthete made this point in a thread explaining why the phrase “all lives matter” is offensive:

 
Imagine that you’re sitting down to dinner with your family, and while everyone else gets a serving of the meal, you don’t get any. So you say “I should get my fair share.” And as a direct response to this, your dad corrects you, saying, “everyone should get their fair share.” Now, that’s a wonderful sentiment — indeed, everyone should, and that was kinda your point in the first place: that you should be a part of everyone, and you should get your fair share also. However, dad’s smart-ass comment just dismissed you and didn’t solve the problem that you still haven’t gotten any!

(My question – why didn’t he get a serving of the meal – why wasn’t dad looking out for everyone.  If he didn’t – then the parents were at fault for not supplying enough food or someone was greedy and served too much on their plate.)

Straub’s cartoon echoes this point: If a house is burning down, you’re obviously going to focus on putting out the fire instead of watering a house that’s just fine. In this analogy, black lives are the burning house, and everyone else is living much more comfortably in the house that isn’t burning down. Clearly, one is a bigger problem.

(No – the problem is that the problem has not been worked properly – both houses would have been hosed down rather than focused just on the house which was not burning.)

(That is what is the problem with Black Lives Matters – the group is paid for and sponsored by George Soros and Obama – to deliberately cause problems in this country.  Soros has admitted this and should be arrested; and, if we had a leader who upheld the Constitution – these people would all be in jail.)

(The moral to the story is that most people can do more than one thing at a time – especially in their thinking process.)
