Do black lives matter to me? Of course black lives matter to me all lives matter to me. But one particular life that does matter to me more than any other is the life of the unborn child. That life matters to me and it's being slaughtered by the millions and we are more focused on racial diversities when innocent children are being killed. Innocent children who have no one standing up for them who need some one to protect them. At least us as adults have the chance to make decisions that could better our chance of survival but the kids in the womb of their mother are completely dependent on the people on the outside. So when you ask me do black lives matter I say yes and so does every other human beings life no matter what age or how developed that person may be.

Abortion was a huge issue in the 70s. The. Again in the 90s and early 2000s. Peoples focus changes depending on the things that are affecting them most. Right now we have Muslims and groups of black extremists killing people and police. These issues can and in some cases do affect our daily lives, so it is going to take precedence.
There are a 1000 important causes to stand up for. If yours is abortion then that's good. While I am against abortion I worry more about domestic violence and sex trafficking more than abortion.
Some people focus on homelessness. Others on sick people. Some on animals. All of these have their place. And all of them (and other things I didn't mention) need more attention.

As far as black lives matter, telling members of that group that All lives matter runs you the risk of assault.

Cool... "Innocent children" do have support, by the way (e.g. Right to Life Advocates). And yes, we do have the capacity to make decisions that better our chances of survival, such as... well, abortion, as sad as it is concerning the children.

I heard a good analogy for black lives matter vs all lives matter. ...imagine a house in your neighborhood is on fire. When the firemen arrive,, you run out shouting and demanding to know why they are not spraying your house too because all houses matter. The fireman replies that of course your house mattress - but your house is not on fire right now. So they feel like black lives are specifically in danger in this is why they focus on black lives

This isn't an either/or situation. We are capable of making effort for all lives mattering. Don't fall for the spiel of "what's the most important?" That is why the house is crumbling. It didn't divided, it was cut into pieces and flicked into a food processor in hopes we'll all get stuck on one small portion twirling round and round, making none of it matter.

That's bupkis! Don't fall for it.

And, yet, they do not feel this way about the lives of BLACK Police Officers/Fire Fighters, or the unborn black children being slaughtered by Planned Parenthood on a daily basis, OR the black lives being destroyed by gang violence.....

So, I remain firm is saying the black lives matter bunch are nothing more than thugs looking for an excuse to riot, burn, loot, maim, and destroy

BLM is part of the grievance industry. They have paid protesters that are nothing more than rabble rousers. ALL LIVES MATTER.

Black lives.. really. What is this? They're not even black, most of the time they're brown.
We have a guy in church. His mother is from the Netherlands Antilles and his dad is Indonesian.
He was playing with my son. I see I see what you don't see and the color is brown my youngest said. Is it this? no Is it that? no
I have no idea. 'It's your face' he says hahahahahahaha.
Do white lives matter? I do not have a white life and I am not even white. I do all this effort every summer to at least have a bit of a tan.
This is white:

Yea im starting a new one called TLM Tan Lives Matter who's with me????!!! jk my point being so many people say they are for unity but then create acronyms and splinter groups specifically to be divisive, combative and counterproductive to society healing its wounds...

I agree lives do matter more than a person's color or age, if each ethnic group started their own "blm" we would have massive civil war.....the blm is counterproductive in some ways to its mission which is to make people aware of police violence against blacks, but how can they say that's their message when a great many of them riot, loot, burn/pilage, and attack other races (for nothing these people did just walking down the street even they still attack these people)....it is a massive contradiction...there are good people in the blm who want change sadly they are pushed to the back.... and now the whole movement has become quite moronic in their message and actions....

The analogy isn't working for me, since the black culture is focused on the arsonists. Demand the arsonists spend time in prison, so we can tell the arsonists from the non-arsonists. Instead the message is "don't think we're all arsonists," while they protect the ones who are.
