I suppose all lives mattered throughout the Native American genocide, the enslavement of Africans, the Spanish-American War, the treatment of Orientals during the construction of the railroad, the treatment of the Irish, the treatment of Germans during WWII, the Japanese internment camps during WWII, or any other institutional racism...

...but suddenly when someone said maybe black lives matter too, #AllLivesMatter started coming out of the woodwork. Coincidence? I think not.

I think you've done well in helping me point out hypersensitivity, cognitive dissonance, how some egos bruise easily. Read the meme over and over again. Maybe the message will sink in. If you got horribly offended by #blacklivesmatter... then that just says something about you. Part of which is that you could use thicker skin.

No. I've just met you before on imgflip (you troll memes that you disagree with) and frankly, I have better ways to spend my time than conversing with a colossal hypocrite. You wrote a damn short novel comprised of your own insecurities. How about you just downvote all of my memes and be on your way, yeah?

Heckling? Hardly!

Just how many accounts do you have? I hope you didn't have to go through all of that trouble just for little ol' me.

I didn't downvote you though. Maybe you should get evidence before claiming things like that. I actually upvoted this. :)

by highlighting the fact/idea that "Black Lives Matter" by Omission you are in fact stating that "Black Lives matter, More"...

in addition to that, ONLY saying 'Black Lives Matter" when the 'Black Life' in question was ended by the Constabulary (before knowing Why), while ignoring the exponentially higher number of Black lives Lost to Other Black people also highlights the hypocrisy of the statement

not unlike the joke, to which the Punch line is "the captain was sober today" a single log entry of that statement implies that on all other days in which the Captain's Sobriety is not noted, that he was in fact Not sober.

And I say, how does one devalue the other?

I don't get where anyone said black lives don't matter, to spawn this saying^^^. Why don't they preach to their own people who kill each other daily ?

Clearly you haven't taken note of the criminal justice system, prison system, and the trigger happy policemen and civilians.

It's a racist statement to begin with, like blacks don't murder white people or rape them?

If you’re offended by the statement, you’re part of the problem. It's a simple statement of fact. Black lives matter. It doesn’t offer any additional explicit meaning.

So if you think it means anything other than simply that the lives of black people should be valued equally to others, you’re inferring that in someway that it devalues the lives of whites... which frankly... is bullshit. And probably means you're racist if not just hypersensitive.

Of course all lives matter. But not everyone sees it that way. Hence... #blacklivesmatter.

So... yeah...

My guess is that tetsuoswrath and CenralNYGuy are the same person. If you use the same logic that tetsuoswrath uses when trying to say I am d2renterprise, they talk exactly the same and use the exact same arguments. So tetsuoswrath must be CentralNYGuy's alt.

And what is this f**king bullshit about now? Just received a message that I cannot comment for 91 minutes. What the f**k is going on around this place. Do the admins not see the bullshit tetsuoswrath is doing and they are now going after everyone who is calling him out? https://imgflip.com/i/sr3s8

If that is the case, then if anything I commend him/them for his/their enthusiasm.
