Allen Iverson: "All Lives Matter"

[Taadow]

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

So Allen Iverson can't be saying "all lives matter" from a genuine place, because he personally might think that all lives matter?

You see how dangerous it is to jump to conclusions and state them in absolutes?

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's just a hashtag. That's it.
It has no power. It's just people saying chit on the internet.

Mind you, as say this as a person who is on no social media platforms (unless people consider The Coli as one) -
so i'll let you tell it as far as all this extra chit...

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

Why do I give a chit about what Fox News does? They don't control my opinion.

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

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

Militant fits on here how it used as a joke and people like you that try to switch it to exactly what people on here use it to mean are the funny in the light ones. nikkas stay with the bullshyt like when cats say coli militant or militant you can't read the context. Why do some y'all cats like to get conveniently stupid and or act like you don't understand mockery?That's never a good look if English is your first language. Nobody ever shytted on actual militants its a bunch of nikkas on here that you can't verify did shyt but act like they the second coming of the black panthers where they can't be made fun of. Smh

It's more than just a hashtag. It's a very snide ideology that is used to shyt on black people. Did you see any of the RNC?

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Does he remember the bowling alley incident?

Yes and this is what he said....

Iverson was originally sentenced to 15 years in prison, but was pardoned and released from custody after four months. Iverson, however, says he never had any resentment or animosity towards law enforcement.

“I never felt that way because I didn’t look at the fact that everybody from Virginia did that to me,” Iverson explained. “I felt that it was a select few people that chose to put me in a situation that they put me in and that was that. I can’t get mad at every police officer, every judge, every prosecutor because of what somebody else did to me. Blame it on somebody else? That’s not right. That was an easy process for me to handle. I understood the people that were involved, the major players that put me through what they put me through and that’s that. At the end of it, I ended up overcoming it all. I stayed strong, I believed in my faith, I kept moving forward, I believed in my family and the people that I had surrounded me and I was able to put it behind me.”

This thread and that Sherman thread are like night and day even though both are supporting the same thing. Coli logic at its finest

Bruh...it's not an "ideology", it's a phrase. That's it. lol

And most things are used to shyt on Black people, that doesn't mean it merits my sorrow or indignation.
And no, I didn't watch any of the RNC.

It is not just a hashtag breh, There is a legit movement behind the words BLM. And while I don't agree with their tactics I can almost say with certainty that they are not the ones looting and wreaking havoc. They are not responsible for the death of any cops, they have just as many white participants as blacks. And they've kept the discussion of police brutality on the front burner. Yet, as we speak there are folks in government lobbying to have them classified as a terrorist organization. Not only is that in insult to the families of real terror victims. But it sets a dangerous precedent for any form of activism by people of color.

The Black Panthers didn't just chant black power. They said power to all people. We saw what happened to them.

*smh*

I said #AllLivesMatter is just a hashtag. Not BLM.
People aren't even reading whole posts anymore...

Yes, in fact it is. And if you watched the RNC convention, you would see how ALM was used to shyt on blac people. No disrespect bruh, but in this case you are extremely naive and dense.

These posters who are quick to throw around the term militant are just as bad if not worse than the posters yall complain about throwing the word cac around to anyone who doesn't agree with them.

The term "militant" is coded language here on this site. A select group of posters use it, and it's usually intended as a rallying call for a certain demographic that posts here.

Maybe but like I said I just don't like when cats get stupid with it and act like its more than a coli insult. When cats do like you do and try to make it mean its an attack on actual people putting in work that's where I disagree with cats at. It makes y'all look stupid, I'm sorry. Its no way not to know the context of it even if you disagree and personally I don't really say cac or militant much on here.

Its not coded language it means exactly what it means in regards to here. Its used for mostly online keyboard warriors that try to out black the next man by being more pro black on here. When being honest the vast majority of cats here are black even if you disagree with their viewpoints at times. I refuse to believe most of this site is white trolls. It can't be that many with sad lives that resort to race faking online.

AI might be ignorant of the dynamics of what Black Lives Matter and why the response of All Lives Matter would upset & frustrate people. AI & other athletes don't get a pass for being ignorant just because they're well intentioned. Black Lives Matter is an important movement with an important message, diminishing it by saying All Lives Matter isn't acceptable no matter who is saying it

Okay.

I don't think it's just a hashtag as you've suggested. People have said Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter as direct responses to the BLM movement. From what I've seen most athletes & celebrities who say All Lives Matter don't understand the dynamics of BLM and what it stands for
