OPINION Is 'All Black Lives Matter' A Distraction From The BLM Movement?

The BLM Movement is not the same as the BLM organization. The BLM Movement is what you've seen and continue to see in the streets.

I think this is a clear cut example of human nature tribalism and divisiveness. We will always find a way to fight amongst each other even if we get what we want. And I don't mean on racial level (which is obvious enough) just human level in general.

All Black Lives Matter is literally the same type of tactic as All Lives Matter.
I'm going to say this though, and people can correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't BLM started by some women and LBGTQ people. Aren't a lot of the people starting these various marches and protests women and LBGTQ people? Aren't feminists and LBGTQ activists always pointing out that they're right on the front lines of all these protests? If all those things are true, who is stopping them from putting their issues on the forefront. Let these people tell it, straight black men hardly do anything for the cause (except die to spark the outrage), yet somehow it seems that straight black men are the people keeping the others from being heard? How does that work?

seems divisive to me because, "Black Lives Matter" already encompasses ALL black lives.
No need to split hairs to say... oh ALL Black Lives Matter includes LGBTQ+ black folks too.
Seems unnecessary and again... Divisive.
I'd be interested to hear someone who doesn't think it's divisive make their case tho

A lot of people seem to have forgotten BLM during the Trayvon Martin case.
What ABLM is doing now is the same thing BLM was accused of doing back then.
The attitude many have now towards ABLM is the same we had towards BLM then.
The powers that be are literally re-running the same script.
BLM is literally stated as gay focused movement, being co-opted by ABLM, gay focused movement.
And yes, I say gay focused.
BLM websitehas had very antagonistic language towards straight society.
Attacking " Cis-gender privilege" and "disrupting the nuclear family" are literally on their website
I have to make a correction, BLM website appears to have changed the copy on their website now.
The quotes I mentioned in this post, which I read myself only days ago, are no longer there.
Far as I'm concerned they've simply refined themselves against critics.

I think it's wack but nah I don't think it's a distraction.

Looting and rioting? Where? When was the last report of any rioting? The whole time that those things were happening, there were protestors marching and organizing protests across the country. The movement is still doing those same things from state to state. Police reform is one of the specific goals that have been stated.

My only issue with this is if a mfer is telling you that he/she doesnt feel like they are getting equal representation, then why not hear the mfer out and try to understand why they are feeling that way.
Thats like me saying something is offensive and the person telling me its not offensive. Its like bruh you dont get to tell me what is and isnt offensive to me.
This is the same, if a gay person feels the movement isnt representing them for whatever reason, why not listen and learn instead of telling a mfer if they are or arent represented.

This ain’t a gay issue though. It’s a black issue.
last time I checked gay blacks are black too
