Also this 'All Lives Matter' is some paltry BS to deflect the issue by a bunch of people who are uncomfortable with the fact that there are other races, people who don't actually understand the meaning of 'Black Lives Matter,' closeted bigots, or just straight up racists..

The words

On MSNBC’s “Melissa Harris-Perry,” host Melissa Harris-Perry scolded Democratic presidential hopeful former Gov. Martin O’Malley (MD) for his comments from July when he said, “white lives matter,” which was followed up by boos from the crowd.

“Well, Martin O’Malley, just no. The answer to ‘black lives matter’ is not ‘white lives matter.’ Just, that’s nope, wrong answer. Nope. So whatever you do, Democrats, Republicans that’s not the right answer,” she said.

I'm glad we agree, because the answer to 'Black Lives Matter' certainly isn't 'White Lives Matter.' Why? Imagine it's payday and you work at a company with 1 boss, and 4 other employees. The agreement was that everyone gets paid $1000 a week. You get paid $950, and everyone else gets paid $1000. You say, 'Hey, I deserve my fair share,' and your boss looks at you and then corrects you by saying, 'Everyone deserves their fair share.' While that's a great sentiment, because everybody does deserve their fair share, it still does not address the issue that you have been mistreated.

The problem here is what you meant, 'I deserve my fair share [also]," it had an implicit "too" structured in there. When your boss corrected you by saying "Everyone deserves their fair share," he was 1) saying you're less than everyone else or 2) he treated your response as "Only I should get my fair share." So it only serves to ignore the problem, or try to sweep it under the rug.

In this country we have these things called "contracts" and "courts". Come up with a different analogy.

Unfortunately bias does exist when it comes to media coverage and civic out cry. Case in point, the coverage of the killing of Sean Bolton. Just another sad case.

The family's attorney Eric Bland told The Washington Post: 'The shots were so close in proximity to each other that it would be physically impossible unless the car was stopped and the officer came up very close to an open window.'

He also commented on the lack of outcry following his death, suggesting recent police-related shootings have received more press coverage.

'It’s sad, but I think the reason is, unfortunately, the media and our government officials have treated the death of an unarmed white teenager differently than they would have if this were a death of an unarmed black teen.

Isn't it funny that 'contracts' and 'courts' can be biased as well? And that historically 'contrats' and 'courts' have been against African Americans as well here in the United States? My example works perfectly well and fine, you're just scared to acknowledge it.
