I see a "certain" demographic in here trying to get their rocks off. :mjpls:

Notice how many times the word "militant" has been used in here :sas2:

I disagree. The phrase is appropriate and important. Black Lives Matter, my life and my family's lives matter. Our people who have gotten gunned down in the streets by these racist ass cops, their lives matter too. People who deflect on what BLM stands for hated the fact that black people would organize and be bold enough to say our lives are worth something.

BLM by their own admission "stands for" Black LGBTQs over Black men...so while people trippin' off what AI said,
they wouldn't give a fucc about him until he got shot by police...and by then it's too late.


As for AI his comments are disappointing but I do agree with @SunZoo to a certain degree that most of these athletes aren't well versed enough to know why #AllLivesMatter would infuriate our community

#AllLivesMatter infuriates you? Why?
It's not even a thing...

You don't think all lives matter in the grand scheme of things?

Given your response that would be too easy. So I'm gonna put 2 and 2 together for you.

This is condescending and really served to swerve around having to answer the points I made.

I know what those slogans are. I also know that all lives matter has origins as something that was used in a dismissive context but it's far more ambiguous than shyt anything referencing Zimmerman, Darren Wilson or "I can breath". Those are very specific stances to take...where as a statement like all lives matter at face value without the back story or ins and outs of social media jargon it's a perfectly fine statement on it's own.

Not everybody, especially black folk who might have used that particular slogan are doing it out of spite or to be dismissive to black voices. If you think that was the case here and want to compare it to chanting for justice for Zimmerman you're a fukking moron. If you don't believe that then the only thing you are really mad about is the semantics, which just makes the whole shyt look pointless to me, especially when you are going to extremes to say shyt like he "put the ER back in n1gger".

This is exactly why I won't engaged in this bullshyt. It's a lot of people that MEAN WELL that are getting their heart strings pulled in directions that have them ready to publicly lynch their "brother" for saying some common sense ass shyt just because of semantics.

I agree, it was meant to be condescending, but you are the one that keeps injecting insults into the conversation because you either disagree with, or can't grasp someone else's stance. In no way have I said Iverson is a c00n or being dismissive. As to your points, you have made none in our little back and forth. I actually agreed with some of your other posts in this thread.


Jordan clearly stated that he hasn't suffered the experience of most black males in this country, AI is the embodiment of what most black males go through. By making the statement in the way he did he becomes just another instrument of propaganda for "them" to use in telling black folks to get over themselves.

Personally I don't need to say black, white, blue, every life matters because I act accordingly and treat others the same. My people shouldn't have to take a stance of violence to be acknowledged and listened to by them. And those with platforms should take care in choosing their words in regards to matters that have been a detriment to the livelihood of themselves and millions of others.

All Lives DO matter, but people who say All Lives Matter are doing it in a deliberate way to dismiss what Black Lives Matter stands for. No one saying All Lives Matter is genuinely saying that to be inclusive or supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement

@Harry B I guess everyone here is just a stain on the black community for not approving of AI in this thread, right?:skip:

This is why you can't have conversations with hashtags.

Now you gonna have people more worried about the semantics as if these celebrities keep up with the intricacies with online social justice jargon and completely ignore the intent.

Not everybody is going to understand the nuances of these slogans on the surface sounding divisive/exclusionary and how they came about on social media.


Well richard sherman definitely knows what the fukk he's saying when he says it

AI on the other hand said "black lives matter, and all lives matter"......he's just trying to stay safe with his statements. These nikkas don't want to offend nobody:bryan:

Can we hear from black professors, lawyers, doctors or scientists? I don't want to hear athletes talk about serious issues like this.


They been speaking out probably the media just doesn't publish articles about it

Bro, I know that you're smart enough to see how sinister, sarcastic, passive aggressive, snide and back handed the ALLlivesMatter hashtag is.

Like seriously man. You can't be that dense

It is a thing though, it became a thing

It's a phrase used exclusively to dismiss BLM. Fox News has successfully ruined BLM's rep by making it seem like the meaning of BLM is to say other races don't matter:snoop:
