I am not a racist, I am pointing out how ridiculous blacks have gotten. Have you ever researched anything in your life? Whites are shot by police more than blacks, there are more whites in jail than blacks, there are more whites on welfare than blacks,
You do realize that there are more than three times as many of us white people as there are black people? Its difficult to get good data, but the most conservative estimate is that black people are about 3x as likely to be killed in an encounter with the police as white people. Blacks are also far more likely to be arrested for offenses that white people commit with the same frequency, more likely to be convicted and receive on average something like 20% longer jail/prison sentences than white people convicted of the same crime.
I am saying that blacks think they should have better rights than whites and yet they have the same rights. There is no discrimmination, it is only percieved by those who hold racist thoughts within their own mind who percieve acts of injustice as racist.
I don't really feel like wasting my time educating you but for a jumping off point, should you wish to get yourself a clue, let me refer you to a post of mine from another thread about the same damn thing, here.

Uh oh, you called somebody a racist. Now you've done it. It's not PC to call people racist. We're all supposed to pretend that bigotry doesn't exist so that we don't offend the fragile hate mongering morons in society.

Sigh.
BlackLivesMatter is an organization/movement calling attention to and fighting racism, profiling, and filtering against blacks by police that results in brutality, violence, or death. It addresses a specific and very real issue in this country.
In this context, AllLivesMatter is what exactly?
Vacuous.
When was the last time you were denied something because of the color of your skin?
When there is a white or mexican killed by police where do #BlackLivesMatter stand? In the corner like a black wallflower, because they are racist. They only care about Black Lives, it is in the text and in their name for MLK's sake.
Where is all WHITELIVEAMATTERS, or ALL MEXICAN LIVES MATTER, they don't exist because no one has felt the need to form them yet, seriously, are you that much of a racist?
because no one else wants to form a racist movement Im guessing
They probably feel that ALL lives matter and can see how racist #blacklivesmatter actually comes across
Thats like saying "why dont more people shoot themselves in the foot!" well probably because they arent that damn stupid

want to hate black/white/Mexican/Asians..enjoy. Want to get a group and burn crosses or talk about white devils. Have at it. Want to interrupt a politician on stage or walk down the streets waving swastikas looking like fools ok. As long as actions aren't leading to physical harm whatever.
There are good and bad in every walk of life, you hang out with the good and push away the bad. My philosophy is simple like that. Racism no, racist no.scumbagism and scumbagist.. yes. I have a low opinion and look down on scumbags. Which we have far too many in all walks of life.

Look how many immigrants from India, China, Korea, Japan, etc, succeed here on VISA's without being murdered yet it is blacks that keep grinding the same wheel over and over and call it racist that they are targeted when by percitiles they are more likley to be gang oriented than any other race in America. Is it perpetual? is it brought upon them by the conditions whites caused? I don't know, but there are many succesful black people that are practically worshipped by whites, so throw the race card out the window, skin color means nothing.

Yes. All lives matter, and all people should be treated equally. what the BLM movement is doing, is pointing out that blacks are treated unfairly and that the facts back that up. I don't know why people can't see that. The prison and arrest records show this without a doubt.
The kkk is a white supremacy group as well as the "skinheads". The people who prote/d it are ignorant racists who want dominion over everyone because they believe in white supremacy.
BLM do not promote supremacy. They are pointing out that blacks are not being treated equally. Therefor they are not comparable to the KKK.
