Are u asking if black lives matter to me? -
at this point asking what is BLM is corny. there is enough out there for you to do your own research. you either support the movement or you don't. either way is fine.
I mean just put the trump Make America Great sign on your front lawn and call it day instead of trying to play BLM out. -
Google ?

No by asking white people to accept them as equal instead of making white people accept them as equal
There's a difference between asking, and making/forcing
Blm is asking for equality , not making equality or forcing equality
Black people need to make white people treat us how we want to be treated -

Was this thread intended to be this humorous...lol -
Black Lives Matter is a chapter-based national organization working for the validity of Black life. We are working to (re)build the Black liberation movement.
This is Not a Moment, but a Movement.
#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted for his crime, and dead 17-year old Trayvon was posthumously placed on trial for his own murder. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our dehumanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.
It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, ? and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all.
Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of Black ? and trans folks, disabled folks, black-undocumented folks, folks with records, women and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. It centers those that have been marginalized within Black liberation movements. It is a tactic to (re)build the Black liberation movement.
What Does #BlackLivesMatter Mean?
When we say Black Lives Matter, we are broadening the conversation around state violence to include all of the ways in which Black people are intentionally left powerless at the hands of the state. We are talking about the ways in which Black lives are deprived of our basic human rights and dignity. -

You cant make people do ? . Respect is given/earned not taken. When you make people 'do' something they fear you. And fear breeds hate.
Funny thing is alot of people say they want to be equal but that means you mutually respect the other person. If you want to make someone do something. You usually dont respect them much. So you dont want to equal, you want to be over them. -
