    For folk like us who perceive very little opposition to black folk in our locale, or value peace etc., All Lives Matter sounds far more logical than just Black Lives Matter, as the phrase ALM encompasses all life, as is our belief. To us BLM sounds like discrimination, black supremacy. In reality, the people that coined the phrase and stand by it intended to send a different message that the phrase doesn’t fully convey: Black Lives Matter As Well. Because where they are situated there is a strong pressure of authority and societal racism treating people whose melanin levels are higher as less important or less human. Said cruel society started using ALM as a counter, to once again belittle their black society.

    It’s not the first time a nasty group of people appropriated good, well-meaning phrases and symbols for their own ends and it won’t be the last. The rest of us have to adapt and avoid association with them by not using the appropriated language.

    Finally, those who comment that anyone who doesn’t think like they do are “stupid” are themselves egocentric, ignorant of other communities outside their own that do not share their struggles and either have never heard of, or do not have need of the BLM movement.




  • Well, the enemy of authoritarian control and conquest is every member of the public (yes, even cis-het white men - they suffer even if they are on the authority’s side) not just African Americans, but I appreciate a middle finger to authorities. Some countries outright outlaw depictions of violence against authority figures like police officers. Everyone needs to learn that resisting cruelty is not only okay, it’s imperative.



  • I don’t recognise the state law as a righteous law anyway - there are more important laws than the opinionated statements of a few hundred aging or dead men. State law might govern the low-income population but it does not govern or define fact or reality, as reality is irrefutable and empirical.

    By labeling Palestine Action as a terrorist group, without delving into the broadness of their own definition, the government imply to the public that the group is cruel or manipulates using terror, which is false as PA do not participate in cruelty.
