Do black lives matter - A deep thoughts poll

[Livecorpse]

They mattered when they were slaves. You killed the man I spent fifty dollars to buy! That was an investment!

 

[The Pink Panther]

My life matters.

Doesn't mean the other ones do. This includes any life no matter if it is black or white. #NLM. No Lives Matter. Egoism ftw.

 

[The Last Stand]

When they say "Black Lives Matter", it sounds to me like all Black lives matter. But the martyrs have been seasoned criminals. Which make the Black community look bad.

The only time we've "mattered" in America were for votes and labor. I'm speaking in a collective sense.

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

They matter for being reliable Democratic voters, and sportsball. Although they're fucking up sportsball now, as well. After Trump likely wins again, I think that's it.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

To their loved ones? Presumably so. In the sense that all human life has an inherent value? Sure. Other than that, I'm not sure what the question means.

 

[The Last Stand]

Other than that, I'm not sure what the question means.

I think the question is with all the screeching about "Black lives matter", has there been a time where Black lives actually mattered in America?

Closest I can think of is recognition from entertainment, sports, and the like from many talented Black people. You can go back to the 20th century for that.

 

[CWCinbed]

This is probably gonna sound gay, but all lives are equally irrelevant.

 

[Spatula]

They will matter less after the elections.

 

[UntimelyDhelmise]

They matter as much as any other color (white, yellow, red, ect.). The problem is Black Lives Matter in the current shitshow narrative means only black lives matter and they matter more than everyone else's because (insert whatever bullshit reason here).

 

[awoo]

wow someone already made a thread for this. great minds amirite

 

[Jason Wynn]

Black people are fine, it's niggers whose lives don't matter.

 

[Pigtoad]

No. lol.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

There are over seven billion people on this planet.


No one's life matters at such extreme levels

 

[Owlman]

Yes.

Everyone deserves a chance at life.

Unless you fuck kids.

Or animals.

Or anyone without their consent.
