    Well, I've heard that they both love sausage, so I thought why create two memes when I could make one?
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Since the Opening Post hasn't been answered, I will provide it.

    The reason "Black Lives Matter" getting the response "All Lives Matter" receives disapproval is because it is undermining the cause and credibility of the statement being made. It is natural that "All Lives Matter", and unless you are a bigot, it is what everyone in this thread shares. However, "Black Lives Matter" is a campaign due to the disproportional amount of deaths black identifying people have at the hands of police services. So whilst "All Lives Matter", it is the added point of "Black Lives Matter too"/"this includes Black lives".

    Now, going back to why it is disapproved, say that Vuk is victimized in his postings. Every time he posts, Beskar gives him an infraction. Vuk getting upset with this treatment posts "Vuk Posts Matter" in the Watch tower. However, when he does, other members like Husar respond with "All Posts Matter". What is the effect of this? It de-legitimizes Vuk's grievance with his posts being constantly infracted. It is whitewashing the issue. By posting "All Posts Matter", you are not supporting Vuk or his grievance.

    Now, I hope this has cleared it up for you.

    Pity #blacklivesmatter has become the name of a racist movement that agitate for racial segregation and general anarchism through a concieted effort to deflect all blame for the woes of the african american community upon a concept of "whiteness" that has become so disconnected from it's original meaning as to not even refer to skin colour in the eyes of the members.

    "All lives matter" isnt an attempt to white-wash it's a denouncement of the hypocracy in group exhibiting blatant racial prejudice while trying to maintain the facade that it is anti racist. It's like if Vuk started complaining about the badmouthing of republicans with a thread titles "Republican feelings matter", it starts off with him saying we need to watch our language but half way through he starts pissing on the democrats and third partys. Then a few hours later hooahguy makes a thread of his own mockingly named "all feelings matters".

    That is unfortunately an problem as a lot of movements end up fostering an "us and them" atmosphere and perverse the nature of the debate. I liked Maisie Williams comment removing 'feminism' as a label, and advocating "You are either a normal person or a sexist".

    Outside of rants from Fox news and other equally credible sources, I have never heard these things advocated by the leadership of BLM.
    It is quite likely that the lunatic fringe of the Black Power movement have spouted their usual nonsense under the BLM banner; the outliers always try to assume the mantle, or at least affiliation with a legitimate cause.
    Sort of like claiming all Republicans are fascist white power loons because members of the KKK belong to the party.
