The whole black lives matter....
All lives matter.
Don't degrade your life by defining it by a skin color. That's demeaning to yourself. You are more than your skin. Each one of us is. We all matter.
This.

Some where along the way people have programmed, or some anywhere, that color means difference. One of the things I enjoy about America is the melting pot. People from all over the world come here to live. You can go different areas and learn of different cultures right here is the good ole US of A. We all need to live in harmony. This is one more reason I don't think Trump is a good match for the presidency. He want to get rid of all the refugees, Latinos and Mexicans. Put up a wall. It is shameful.

I am ok a wall to keep out the illegal ones. I would like to see it easier to get citizenship IF you show you are a contributing member of society.

Too many people still make a great fuss over ethnic groups or religions being of equal importance, which only serves to perpetuate an outdated concept of difference.
It is time that people stopped worrying about such matters and simply became content to carry on living together.

It is ok to honor whatever cultures you feel important to you, but when that becomes the chant like this, putting it over other things (and focusing on skin color, which is NOT a culture but is racist) it's wrong

Absolutely. All lives do matter. The way I see it, expecting that some group is automatically going to be downtrodden because of the color they are, and prejudging other people's reaction to them, can often have the opposite effect of causing people to be defensive.
If a person of a minority social group is defensive and assumes that others will treat them badly ahead of time, that's in fact aggression. The "black lives matter" seems to imply, among some of the more hardcore protesters, that other lives don't.
So yes. All lives matter. We just need to be decent to each other no matter what we look like. (That's what I do... usually with good results.)

Exactly why I hate this. It's putting more value on the life of a person with a certain skin type. Pretty sure back when slavery was legal down here, white lives were worth more. how bout we protect the innocent, both law enforcment and citizen.
