    This is what happens when society doesn't address problems. Things aren't changed as a result of logical arguments but because of asspain . It's just how stupid Homo sapiens are.

    I truly do not get this movement, they are disorganized and have no set agenda. They ignore a lot of facts of reality and lack foresight of any kind. I understand the premise and I support it, but the methods are horrible and distracting.

    Sounds like you are with me, trying to bring attention to police shooting blacks at such an alarming rate is worthy, the way they are doing it is ridiculous. Did you see the video of that black woman going off after that little girl was shot in the head? She gets it.

    I didnt see it, i try to read stories with violence against children. But, i can imagine what she said and was probably 100% right.
    Black Lives Matter is a fad at this point, something popular to say. If black lives mattered to this group, they would address all the problems facing the black community, police brutality and systematic racism is just a tip of the iceberg. i believe in self accountability above all, i think racism exist, but i'll fight it a different way by beating the statistics first and then helping my community.

    I think what everyone needs to realize is that in 2015 on the planet earth, no lives matter. Life is cheap.

    Many "movements" suffer from the same problem . . . lack of focus and poor leadership. The "Occupy" movement, the "tree-hugger" environmentalists, etc. Their message gets lost in their antics.

    Their tactics alienate the very people who would be on their side. When somebody says that all lives matter doesn't that include black lives too? If all lives don't matter then no lives matter. When you see a story about a 10 year old boy with terminal cancer does it matter whether he is black, white or hispanic to evoke your sympathy? An 18 year old girl killed in a traffic accident? 200 killed in a plane crash? Most likely plane crash victims are a mixture of races, nationalities and ethnicities.
