In Defense of "All Lives Matter"



When one says "All Lives Matter", the immediate response by Black Lives Matter supporters is the above or to say 'there is an implicit "too" at the end of Black Lives Matter.' Or, they'll offer an analogy like:

John: Hey, my house is on fire...let's put it out!
Mary: No, let's spray water on all the houses, because all houses matter!

This would be a valid response, if one were only responding to the organization's name. However, in fact, a lot of people who say "All Lives Matter" are responding to Black Lives Matter the movement. 

When BLM excludes non-blacks from their meetings, demands whites to move to the back, encourages attacks on police officers, and violently attacks whites or anyone who disagrees with them — it doesn't seem egalitarianism is at the heart of your movement. 

When the head of BLM Toronto talks about killing men and white people, some people are going to have major reservations about your movement. And, I realize that this was tongue-in-cheek, however, we all know if the same were said about 'women and black folks' by a MAGA hat wearing Trump supporter, BLM would lose their minds.


When BLM zealots murder police officers and your response is 'I don't support it, but I understand why they did it', here again, it doesn't appear that you believe all lives matter. 

Someone who believes all lives matter wouldn't be violent against the innocent and respond to perceived racism with more racism. 

Furthermore, many people don't like the notion that they must prove a negative. The name suggests that our society doesn't believe that black lives matter, so, apparently, the onus is on us to prove the opposite. Yet, black lives are all we talk about and sympathize over, even when the victim was engaging in at-risk behavior that lead to his death. 

If you can't see the hypocrisy in your movement and how 'all lives matter' is not at the core of your movement, then, to quote the above meme, "you are part of the problem."

Why Racism is Everywhere

Today, racism seems to be everywhere, at least according to SJWs. We're told we live in a system of white supremacy. When they are not sipping on a Starbucks latte, eating a burrito bowl, or texting on their IPhone — we're told they are modern day slaves. The reason why racism seems to be at epidemic proportions today is because the definition has changed. At one time, racism was defined as 'the superiority and inferiority of races.' This definition could apply to anyone, however, in the past racism came mainly from whites to non-whites during the era of real white supremacy. Traditional examples of racism were slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow, racial epithets, eugenics, etc. Today, those things, for the most part, are gone. Since the most overt forms of racism have vanished, the definition of racism had to undergo a re-tooling. Today, the social justice re-definition of racism is "prejudice plus power" and the only people with power are whites. The argumen

Will the Black Community Accept that Kenneka Jenkins Accidentally Killed Herself?

When all the facts are in and they show that Kenneka Jenkins reached her demise because she got too drunk and high resulting in poor decisions, will the black community admit they were wrong? Will the protests for answers stop after answers have been given? This is similar to Black Lives Matter wherein many black people created false narratives out of thin air, reacted with outrage before the investigation was complete, then claimed the police lied or tampered with evidence when the facts contradicted their narrative. This is a problem called "victimology". Victimology is the practice of claiming victimization disproportionate to actual experiences of victimization. The reason why this happens is because we as a society are not being honest with the black community. The fear of being called a racist or sellout overrides our commitment to truth.
