Sure, but every week there's some black kid who got killed for no reason. That's the point of saying that, it's not hypocritical.

All lives do matter but people don't see it that way.

The statement of "Black Lives Matter" is true.

The statement of "All Lives Matter" is also true.

Pipe down, statement one is a response to not so good policing in urban communities and the failure of the justice system when it comes to Black People (black men in particular).

That's not true, more white people get killed by black.

But the media just show the cases when blacks get killed. Whether from a cop or a normal citizen.
And often it is for a reason.

The 2013 FBI Uniform Crime Report:

83 percent of white victims were killed by white offenders.

90 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders.

14 percent of white victims were killed by black offenders.

7.6 percent of black victims were by white offenders.

So whites are killing whites just as much as blacks are killing blacks and their isn't a huge disproportion to blacks killing whites to whites killing blacks.

There's plenty of white people being killed for no reason, too. Heck, there was a white girl on campus this past week that was stabbed to death. :|

While it's still a comparatively low percent, 14 is almost double 7.6. That seems like a reasonable difference to me.

Oh look, another one missing the point.
The point is the community feels they are being targeted and mistreated, they act as if this doesn't happen to other races, they act as if the accidental and wrongful deaths of other races aren't worth standing up for. Why do they not arrange protests and riots for the Hispanics killed by police or for the Muslim citizens being harassed and detained by police or killed by fellow citizens for their beliefs? The fact is they're showing no concern or care for people of other races who face injustice too.

The 14% of white murders by blacks aren't all necessarily convictions, many are reports of accused murders which is an unfair assessment. The Killings of whites by blacks according to the Attorney General's Office has decreased by 4.4 percent and will be proven at the end of 2014.

Racism is real and still here, but what a lot of people don't see is that it's on both sides.

I live in Louisville kentucky, and grew up in a neighborhood called Portland. It's predominately white, and they are "hood" whites, for lack of a better term. There are a lot of racists. When I moved to this other neighborhood called smoke town, it was predominantly black, and there was a lot of racist people there too.

I think the first problem that needs solved is the old white men who pass laws; you know, the old conservatives in power. We need to fix everything wrong with how our government perceived blacks and get them their equality and fair treatment.

But meanwhile blacks can not resort to violent protests; which often lead to counter racism. We will get no where if all they do is violently protest in the streets, and the worst part about that is that they aren't doing anything except making those racist old conservatives look like their right about them.

Racism is real; but we can't just ignore one side of it. We need to fix both sides.

If you want to be righteous, you should say all lives matter, without having to say people are wrong for saying black lives matter with all of that negativity attached to it. Other wise you are hypocritically creating more division between you and the people you think are creating division against you. You therefor have unspoken resentment as well, and are not any higher than who you are criticizing.

Black on black crime. Just look at Chicago.
That's something I don't get. Why do they cherry pick which crimes they care about? Black on black crime is way worse and happens more often, you'd think people would first prioritize on the bigger issue but there is only an uprising when it's a white person killing a black person. Isn't that racism? Or is it that some people only want to rise up for a cause they feel nobody can oppose them for?

Can't make that comparison lbs. Her death has nothing to do with the point.
