"Black Lives Matter" is a racist slogan. For one, it presupposes that somehow whites and others think that the lives of African Americans don't matter to begin with. Well how dare you. If certain members of the African American community believe that they are being mistreated by their local police departments or governments they should take it up with them, not go around lobbing accusations at everyone else.

Well of course black lives matter, so does everyone else's!

Somehow this white boy manages to remain unoffended by the slogan.

Black lives matter was created in 2012.

Did this profound thought just come to you four years later? Uh--ok. Thanks for sharing?

Yeah, well you'll get over it. If you don't, no one will care regardless.

I think the message is being directed at other black people, since crime statistics show that most blacks are killed by other blacks. Usually young black males.

Human life is sacred. Human life matters. The more they talk about racism the longer they prolong the life and curse of racism.

And therein lies the irony. Black lives don't really matter to bangers.

They are talking about cops shooting poor poorly behaved young black folks or old black men who are drunk or doped up. There should be an educational program that explains to black youth....that if you do not act like a civil reasonable person - you might have a problem. That if you act like a fool....other fools with guns might kill you...including foolish cops. I have a young blonde blue eyed son who would be at risk if he loses control in public...It has nothing to do with color. The problem is with affirmative hiring of law enforcement....people who would never be fit to be cops in the old days are now cops....and some of them are real dumb...which makes them dangerous....Tell your black kids to watch out for dumb people....evil and stupidity are the same entity. Just be careful of dumb unreasonable people with guns....cops included.
