The White Lives Matter Banner

[jesmond]

What exactly do you think was wrong with it? It could have said black, yellow brown, pink, purple etc etc but because it said "white" then people have taken offence, why?. White lives do matter, all lives do

Haha he wasn't a Christian either. Never mind we don't let a few lies or mistruths get in the way if there is a point to be engineered.

[Togo]

allenlondon? Are you sure that is not alilondon?

[pixie374]

Ironic, considering some of your recent posts to me, Togo. Lol.

[Togo]

^^Anyone?

[pixie374]

Do you mean mine, Togo? It might be worth asking me.
.:-). For somebody who assumes I am not paying for a TV licence, but using it anyway... and yes, I did notice the sarcasm... you aren't above making up your own mistruths for your own agenda... irrelevant here, but it seemed a bit rich!
Back to the OP x

Yes putting "too" at the end of the banner might have helped but i doubt ìt. All lives matter but unfortunately this has been going on for hundreds of years and i doubt it will ever end.

I notice they are waving the white banner .....
but they havent surrendered yet

//should have said ... " too " at the end .//

Not really. It didn't add "too" or "only". It takes a special kind of paranoia to add on the rest of a phrase in your own mind and then be offended by yourself.




.................................
The actual message 'Black lives matter' doesn't offend me but there is plenty of evidence that 'All lives matter' offends the BLM followers.

Why should it offend them?

[pixie374]

Where is the evidence? My guess- and I can only guess- is that it sounds like a retaliation, rather than actually getting the point.

If I told you that my daughter matters, I can't imagine your response would be... "how dare you suggest mine doesn't!".

It's an excuse to not listen. Nobody in the whole of history has treated white lives as less important.

[royfromaus]

So the placard for white people killed by the American police (and there are plenty) should be something like


'white lives meh'

[Togo]

Gotcha ... busybody with grievance it is then.

[pixie374]

The so rule is true!! Lol.
No. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with saying "white lives matter".... because I don't add "only" to it, in my mind.

Why is this seen as how it actually reads, but "black lives matter" means white people's don't? Total hypocrisy.

[pixie374]

Me, Togo? I have no grievances, just chatting on a site.

[jesmond]

Gr8 everyone

If this world has got the stage that a T shirt with "all Lives matter" is considered disgraceful then it is time for the next huge meteorite to strike.

Unfortunately, Vulcan, on this stage that you mention, one group of actors wants the spotlights shining on them and them alone.
