Probably haven’t forgotten the years of birtherism either.

Trump said all lives matter. Not being racist, I assume that blacks have the requisite intelligence to know that they are included in "all lives." It could be that racists would have us believe that Blacks might not comprehend the notion of "all lives."
Of Course your capitalization refers to the movement not to lives, Black or otherwise. Actually he has said the name of that movement. And he has pointed out that it is "destroying many Black lives." |

Well, if it's true that blacks think that all lives matter is baloney, then maybe blacks truly are stupid. But I don't think so. I don't categorize blacks as a monolith. What I think, and I believe that I associate with a lot more blacks a lot more times during a week than most of you guys out East, is that Black Dems and White Dems have this engrained common notion that White "conservatives" are racist. And that they, as you express it, keep believing.
Black conservatives, know better. |

Most of the people here would tell you that Striped Bass Lives matter.
That is not saying that all fish do not matter but that they think that there is a problem in the Striped Bass ecosystem and they are concerned about it.
BLM is no different.
I don't know much about crappie fishing, so maybe they don't matter anymore than any other fish. |

All Lives Matter is essentially saying everything is fine so quit yer beotching. Or as Jarred Kushner so eloquently put it...
"can help people break out of the problems that they're complaining about, but he can't want them to be successful more than they want to be successful." |

No, it's not saying that. It is obvious that all "Lives" have problems. Many White Lives have serious problems. Many Black Lives don't.
Starting riots over fairly rare incidents of white police unjustly killing a black person may be your idea of helping to improve the lives of Black people, but it often, to the contrary, seems to bring destruction to the infrastructure and Black businesses in the Black community. |

Actually, if there is a problem in the Striped Bass ecosystem, you would say what the problem is. It would be superfluous to say Striped Bass lives matter. Nor, as far as we know, is there a movement by Striped Bass in their ecosystem proclaiming to the world that Striped Bass Lives matter. We could extend this ridiculous analogy to idiotic extremes. Like, for instance, Black Lives matter because we enjoy hunting them and eating them. |

OK Stable Genius Apprentice, we don’t need to know about your diet
Biden is now up to 50.8% of the popular vote, topping Reagan’s 50.7% in 1980. This is the highest percentage for a challenger since FDR in 1932

Interesting . . . but what does have to do with your "Most of the people here would tell you that Striped Bass Lives matter"? |
