All Lives Matter

I agree with the whole BLM movement and I support it, but I feel as if ALM should be a thing to. Black people aren't the only race that are subject to discrimination. What about Asians and Arabs etc? It's just a thought so feel free to share your opinion (:

African-Americans disproportionately face in America, more than white people, asian people

They class asians and arabs as black. It's basically an anti-white movement. The Irish have probably experienced more discrimination and abuse at the hands of the British in recent times than black people. I have had British soldiers shove guns in my face many times, first time was when I was 6 and in my back garden. How many black people in the UK have had daily dealings with armed British soldiers? I have been stopped many times by the police, twice just out jogging and four times under section 44 of the prevention of terrorism act. But the blacks have cornered the market on victimisation, so my voice is ignored. In many circles I'm part of the problem because I'm a white male.

You know not everything is about learning at school, it is possible to learn outside of school and she may well know more than you. But I fail to see what relevance it has to this discussion. Anyway I am beyond school.
We don't live in America. In the UK the main danger to black lives are other black people *and I believe that's also the case in America

Here comes the strawmen.
Anti white movement that frequently associates with white people? How does that work?
If you wanted to protest, why not make your own?
Why is it only a problem when black people do it?

i think this is true in terms of institutionally and in police brutality, but certainly not individually. i'd argue that in the uk, asian people face more racism than black people. it's not a competition - i recognize that, however anyone who isn't white in general is expected to face some kind of oppression for their skin colour.

were you stopped due to the colour of your skin? no? then you’re missing the point.

BLM is about Black people being denied basic human rights and how they are likely to get stopped and searched because of their race.

It’s like unless you’re black you should shut up and hide in a corner

i only said it was my view. its not like i walk round the street with a machete

we are not talking about the UK, the BLM movement originated in America, where it has been proven that African Americans face more oppression than any other ethnic group, something that stems way back to the age of slavery.
Also, BLM doesn't just focus on black lives. Campaigners attempt to tackle all forms of racism, against every group.

To the vast majority of race/racist activists it is a competition. Who is the biggest victim, who should cash out on this the most...

Why do British people feel so incentive to follow the trends of America. Over here ethnic minorities are given a fighting chance to thrive with contextual offers/grants/bursaries etc. BLM is a political organisation created to protect afro-americans not the british people. rather than an actual statement people of quality there's just a herd mentality being displayed through BLM chants when far worse countries such as yemen and syria are barely even surviving

kind of agree. i think this has all been blown out of proportion. i get it that black lives havent mattered as much as white lives in the past, but we are at the point where we can all sit in a room with each other and have a chat, and now we are all finding a way to start sh1t again.

can i just say- i am in no way downgrading the importance of blm, all im saying is that asian,arab, eastern european lives matter too

It’s not just a view. You’re being harmful when you tell people to just forget about skin colour. Why would we forget the amount of racism that black people have endured. We should acknowledge our history, yes we should move on but we need to learn something from it. And you also can’t dismiss ignorance as just a view. Watch a video on why ALM is wrong

And I don’t understand where a machete came into this conversation? I was in no way implying that you were a violent person.
