#AllLivesMatters Project

Maybe don’t call it ALM? That is made by racist folks who don’t seem to understand that Black people suffer more than they do and are saying “but doesn’t MY life matter too?”

All the more reason to use it

Take their racist agenda, Steal their thunder, and use it for something that's actually good. Instead of avoiding it, Claim it as your own, conquer it, take it over.

when we are at war with an oppressive group, nation, or leader, we don't just run away from them, we burn their nation down and build it back better.
I think we should take their name and turn it into something good.

You mean like when LGBT started calling themselves “queer” after it being used as a slur?

sorta, yeah!!

Okay, Ig. I need a name tho

Idk! UGURM! Underprivileged Groups Unity for Rights Movement

I’m sorry but UGURM sounds like my laugh
And that really isn’t a good thing
I got an award for best impression of a dying animal by laughing

How about ASO (Anti-Supremacy Organization), URA (Underprivileged Rights Activists), or ULM (Underprivileged Lives Matter)

Those seem good, they are short and to the point. I would use ASO, since activists can have a bad connotation and people have problems with LM movements

Ok

No, all lives matter. It’s not being racist to say everyone deserves to live. You’re being racist for saying white peoples lives don’t matter!

Yes, all lives matter. However, the creation of ALM and the history of it makes it a racist term. BLM, black lives matter, ISN'T saying white lives don't matter. It's saying, "hey our lives are not equal right now please give us some support." If one house is on fire, you don't hose all the other houses on the block or shout all houses matter. You don't raise awareness for all kids when some kids get cancer, you raise awareness for the kids WITH CANCER. If one group of people is starving you raise awareness to the people who are starving, you don't say all stomachs matter. ALM is saying, all houses matter when one house is on fire. ALM is saying all kids matter when one kid has cancer. ALM is saying all stomachs matter when one person is starving. If you broke a bone, you wouldn't want someone telling you that all bones matter. If you came out to someone as Lesbian, you wouldn't want the response "Well MY sexuality is valid to." Do you know what straight pride is? Its is a bunch of straight(tm)s looking at the parades and going "all sexualities and genders matter" when they don't have to risk be thrown out of their house for being straight or cis. Then they demand representation when they have plenty of it.

Exactly! I’m white, but I support BLM instead of ALM

Same, just like you can be straight/cis and still support LGBTQ

Actually you have -.-

I did. Again, do you even read these comments?

I did read the comments. You just deleted the comment where you said “I’ve never met a straight supporter.” I didn’t know you meant IRL, which is why I said that you did meet a straight supporter. I was wrong about that, because I thought you where including online

Stop

I’m literally explaining why I thought you meant online as well

If you ban me then you are being homophobic, not helpful.

Just stop being rude

Again, having a political debate is not rude if you don’t make it rude, explaining opinions is not rude

You are saying white people are inferior

If you re-read my comments I never said that
I am literally white
Saying African Americans are not inferior ≠ saying white people are inferior

You said all white peoples except for you are inferior and then you deleted it.

Yeah we both know I didn’t say that.
I believe I have deleted one comment, because I posted it before I was finished typing. I deleted it right away, so you wouldn’t be able to find it outside of your notifications. The comment was be explaining the difference between ALM and BLM, and what the two terms mean.

If you cannot debate politics without lying then you really should avoid the topic

At least I’m old enough to be on here. “Even a child knows things.” Yeah, a SMART child knows things, you are not a smart child. And you proved that by saying I, a fourteen year old, are a child. Stop making accusations you have no proof of.

You did say it. Stop acting like you’re so mature when we both know you’re way too young to be on here. You are not some high and mighty god. You are a child who knows nothing.

“You did say it.”
Since you are the one accusing me of saying it, you have the burden of proof
“Stop acting like you’re so mature when we both know you’re way too young to be on here.”
I never mentioned my age so you wouldn’t know that
“You are not some high and mighty god. You are a child who knows nothing.”
I’m not a god, I’ve probably said so in roleplays a few times but I wouldn’t take that as fact, it’s a roleplay. Also, even a child knows things. You technically are also a child, you did say you where 14.

By the way it really isn’t safe to tell everyone online your age

If you are interested in an actual respectful conversation instead of flinging insults, I am waiting. I won’t be responding to any more lying or assumptions

Damn though I’ve never been more tempted to abuse mod

No I haven’t. And you have no idea who I meet irl. If you do you’re stalking me.

✨ I’m a straight supporter ✨
Also a lot of people in my area are straight supporters, I live in a pretty accepting place

I know, I said I’ve never met a straight supporter irl 😑 do you even read these comments.

You said “I’ve never met a straight supporter” not “I’ve never met a straight supporter irl” -.-

I’ve never met a straight supporter irl.

Well I support ALM and you can’t get mad at me for it.

All people matter, even if black people have to harder than us. You are saying my life doesn’t matter because I’m white. That’s racist.

I think you fail to see what I'm saying. BLM is NOT saying white lives don't matter, it is saying that black lives are not being treated equally. Just like LGBTQ is NOT saying cis people are unimportant, it is saying LGBTQ people are not being treated equally.

Black people are rarely treated unfairly anymore, it’s gotten way better these days.

It still happens.

No it doesn’t

And you are an African American who is qualified to know that?

It is. You are being extremely rude.

Political debates are now rude?

I can use whatever terms I want. You do not control me.

you are saying white people are evil and how stupid I must be for thinking all lives matter. That’s rude.

I am not saying all white people are evil. I for one, do not think I am evil, or that my family is evil. I am saying that some people are racist, and that that is a problem.
I also didn’t say you where stupid I was trying to explain why ALM is not the best term for believing that all lives are important.

No, but where I live it never happens. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen somewhere else. I’m saying I’ve never seen it happen.

Disagreeing with someone is not basis for flagging a comment.

It does still happen, it isn’t anywhere near as common. It has gotten a lot better, but it does still happen

I never said I could control you, I was trying to persuade you. You can use whatever term you want, I didn’t say you HAD to stop using ALM. I was just saying why I THINK you shouldn’t use ALM.
