It's a total disgrace

[Vinty]

It appears some black lives are worth more than other black lives.
4 black kids shot to death over the weekend in Chicago, why aren't all these BLM supporters and self hating white people back on the streets demanding change.

You mean like an able-bodied person cannot fully understand the problems and difficulties experienced by a disabled person, a female cannot fully understand the experiences of a male or vice-versa, a normally sighted person cannot fully understand what it's likle to be blind, etc, etc.
Are you in danger of demonstrating your inability to fully understand the problem?

You seem to think the colour of your skin is the same as physical differences such as disabilities?

Seriously - you need to stop grouping people according to colour. We are all just people.

It appears that to BLM supporters black lives only matter when that are lost at the hands of the police.

Except they do. But since you care so little about black lives you haven't looked for the actions and work to reduce it.

Just because you haven't looked for something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I bet the firefighters in your town are really annoyed that you keep dialling 999 and demanding that they come and squirt water on your house.

"But it isn't on fire!" they say

"Doesn't matter" you shout "My house needs just as much attention and water as my neighbours house, which is burning to the ground. All houses are equally important."

have you got a big red nose , rosy cheeks and big pockets?

nobody said they care little about black lives . just that they care equally for black and white lives. is that ok with you?

That's interesting.

Do you think that black people in America are not subject to more murder by cops than people who are not black?

If it were true, that'd be nice. Since it isn't true of society as a whole, it's a problem.

Vinty doesn't care enough to know what he's talking about. That's kind of emblematic of the WLM twits.

 

[JohnD]

they care equally for black and white lives.

In the same way that "houses that are not on fire" should receive the same amount of care from firefighters as "houses that are on fire."

you can’t prove that. neither can you prove that it’s not true that black racists exist or some black people don’t care little for white lives.

belt up ffs ,lets just drown both houses in water because we know the embers from the house thats on fire will have been sneakily creeping under the eaves of the house that isnt on fire.

 

[JohnD]

You should.

you can’t prove that.

Something tells me nothing could prove that to some people.

Let's play a little game, you give me an example of some sort of evidence that would convince you I'm right and that society puts a lower value on black lives than white.

neither can you prove that it’s not true that black racists do not exist or some black people don’t care little for white lives.

Why would I want to prove that? Why is it even relevant?

 

[durhamplumber]

All lives matter...Picking out one colour above others is never going to end well.

the Facts dont support this

The facts I've seen do support that. What facts are you looking at?
