And that is exactly why I won’t support any group based on skin colour, for I see it as divisive.

All lives matter equally remains my starting point.

How can showing support for people who have endured systematic racism be divisive?

It's like having a row of houses where only ones on fire and telling the firemen "all houses matter". If course they do that's inherent and understood but not all of them need the same level of support or attention.

Is it easier being black skinned or white in society?

We all know that but it’s not about black lives. If you think it is then you is stupid.

It’s truly baffling how people can’t notice the inconsistencies in their position

Im not sure if you genuinely dont know, or are just being a tw*t.......I suspect youre intelligent enough to know, so its the latter

BLM doesnt mean all lives dont matter....of course they do, its to draw attention to the fact black people suffer racism still in 2020, in all sorts of ways in everyday life, and the campaign is to draw attention to it, and for that situation to change

Got it, so a fly past with a banner stating "Jewish Lives Matter" would be alright in the current climate as it draws attention to the racism they receive in every day life?

White. But we all know that. It’s middle class whites and woke millennials driving this agenda. They can’t win elections but they are using black lives matter as a political tool. Do you honestly think they care about blacks on housing estates in inner cities. They would run a mile if they saw one. Cnuts.
