READ IT

Agreed! I honestly can't stand all the violence. We need this world to be peaceful, and like you said, especially around this time. I'm pretty sure it's just me but I'm kinda annoyed about all the fights right now. Like, I respect the people that do it, I understand their purposes, but I don't understand why they think violence is an answer. The sad thing is, many people don't understand that. Like you said, spread positivity and I'm pretty sure everything will...blow over.

it's not just u lol

good

:)

I don’t care about your race
Your IQ
Your age
Your beliefs
Your religion
I HATE EVERYONE

Why do I relate to this so much?

All bit last one

*but

oh ok...

I am literally a introvert who is always in a book

Very good! The only complaint is that: Yes, all lives matter, but think of 5 houses. One is on fire which is the black lives. So we cant save all at once because the other 4 houses dont need help. So we are currently trying to get the word that black lives matter, and not until we save the black lives, we can all be equal together. only then all races will be equal. Otherwise, good job.

much thank!

U got point

But people think the whites lit the house on fire and bombed the white’s house

Very true!

LOL

black lives matter. i agree with everything you said up there. i wish all lives matter was used truthfully, and not as a protest to black lives matter. black lives matter doesnt mean only black lives matter, it means all lives matter. we want the police and people involved in racist hate crimes behind bars and punished. we want everyone to be treated equally. thats all we want. thank you for making this known.

cheers, charlie_worthless

Yes, exactly!! Put so well:)

YES

totally true. wasn't this on the fun stream?
yeah i've always never understood the hatred and the sweeping generalizations. it's never occurred to me to think just b/c one person that looks a certain way acts a certain way, everybody like them will act the same way. also there is no all ___s are bad ppl. plus, during this horrible covid problem the last thing we need is to spread hate. we need 2 stick 2gether. all men are created equal. #loveconquers

YES! PREACH

thx lol

Good good but i can't read

UH.... ok...

k den

vote yes please, thank you: https://www.strawpoll.me/21019890/r

I totally agree

And why are white people hated so much

uh, I know this image had good intent and all, and I agree with it and stuff however you shouldn't use the phrase "all lives matter"

I know it sounds good but is used a lot by people to combat the BLM movement, just sayin be careful where you use it because it can imply other stuff

It was good until the all lives matter bit

It doesn't matter if you're black.
It doesn't matter if you're white.
It doesn't matter if you're Asian.
It doesn't matter if you're gay.
You all taste the same.

You forgot be nice to lgbtq

ALL LIVES EXCEPT THE LIVES OF TIKTOKERS MATTER.

YOU KNOW WHAT? TIKTOKERS DONT EVEN HAVE A LIFE.

Stop all lives matter

yea

NO TIKTOKERS LIVES DONT

its called peace on imgflip not war against tick tok!!!! go to that and spread your hate of people doing what they love!!!!

r u really serious?

A pretty great statement really up until the slogan "All Lives Matter," which is as polarizing to some as "Black Lives Matter" is to others. Trying not to get too political in this stream, but this opens up a big can of worms.

In reality, both statements are true. Indeed, one cannot exist without the other. That's looking at both statements in a kind of philosophical vacuum. But there's also a social context behind both statements that is unique to our society and our moment.

A bit of history: "Black Lives Matter" came first, founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, police brutality, and other issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter

Someone coined the term "All Lives Matter" shortly thereafter as a kind of backlash, and it caught on. However, it's worth noting "All Lives Matter" isn't a real organization and it doesn't have any discernible agenda behind it for the advancement of anyone's rights. The spirit behind it isn't objectionable. But in practical terms it's, at best, just a slogan people say to make them feel better about not doing much of anything, or at worst, to actively oppose BLM's goals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Lives_Matter

The Black Lives Matter movement never meant to imply that other lives don't matter, and it still doesn't. But when some folks started shouting "All Lives Matter" in response to every invocation of "Black Lives Matter," they sought to imply nefarious goals to BLM that never existed.

But don't take it from me, take it from Obama:

--"President Barack Obama spoke to the debate between Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter. Obama said, 'I think that the reason that the organizers used the phrase Black Lives Matter was not because they were suggesting that no one else's lives matter... rather what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that is happening in the African-American community that's not happening in other communities.' He also said 'that is a legitimate issue that we've got to address.'"

tl;dr: saying "All Lives Matter" at a moment in time when black people are fighting for their rights and grieving over unjustified police murders and similar injustices can come across as tone-deaf.

yes it be true

*eye roll*

Have a follow

My best friend is black and she is the sweetest (but phyco) person I know. I literally know no African Americans that deserve to be treated as the Karen's treat them

YES EXACTLY
