Why is Floyd getting smashed for the All lives Matter comment?

[Lester Tutor]

I admire Floyd for bucking the social pressure and not being afraid to express himself on this one. He's being punished for being an independent thinker and not resigning himself to the stereotype.

Floyd actually uses reverse psychology that benefits EVERYBODY. It is genious, and he's not taking advantage of any situation.

He clarifies his statements by first stating the obvious, that he was an athlete, and that he PERSEVERED against racism himself in order to achieve all his glory, let alone the fact that he still gets it today. To the ''African-American,'' which is a label he himself hates, ideally still loses in the status quo.

"All lives matter" is not a factual statement. Of course, all lives DONT matter, thats why the black people have to say "Black lives matter!"

Mostly Floyd talks a lot of ****, but this is not one those things. He mentioned equality and how one race should be put in above, yet he is getting dissed by his most loyal fans even Dontae.

All lives indeed matter, Black Lives Matter, Asian Lives matter, Brown Lives Matter, White Lives matter, so why is Floyd getting crucified for making such a statement?

maybe for the fact that in the pass, he used to tell black americans that "we all need to stick together and support eachother" then after he made his money and retired, "all lives matter" now. perphaps this is the reason why he is getting a lot of hate for it.

Black Lives Matter (Too) emerged, as a movement, after the continued examples of unarmed black/brown folks (in nearly all cases unarmed) being murdered by police forces, with no consequences for the officers. BLM is a protest movement, in almost the truest sense of the term.

All Lives Matter, as a conversation topic, emerged as an effort to directly criticize/discredit the concerns of black/brown people protesting the killing of unarmed people by police forces; rather than face the critique that launched the movement, folks trumpeting 'All Lives Matter' have tried to use gang violence as a grounds to justify the murder of unarmed people by police forces.

No one has ever said that one set of lives is worth more/less than another set of lives; the point has simply been argued that the care, given by police forces to not, for example, murder ARMED white folks at traffic stops should be extended to everyone, including the 6', 200lb black kid (regardless of what was done) trying to simply get home.

I need to sit and see what Floyd actually said, but I doubt that Floyd was arguing that the killings of unarmed black/brown people by police and gang violence (often involving gang member on gang member issues) are one and of the same.

Floyd Mayweather was a US Olympian, and is basically an institution in Las Vegas, but the fact is that his oldest son is nearly 18 years old, is physically seemingly on his way to being over 5'10, and could basically be seen as "John Brown" outside of Las Vegas by a police officer.

That theory is BS as more whites have been killed by law enforcement than blacks and not all police are white.

All lives matter and Floyd is smart enough to understand that.

BLM is a terrorist group and should be treated as such.

Black people use peer pressure to get others to conform to expectations. It's like you aren't allowed to be your own person, you have to be black first. It's a shame, because that's what black people (rightly) complain about racists doing.

Critical thinking and the truth are less valuable then being on the right side. It's tribal and it's dumb.

now tell me who funded black lives matter and why

[bigjavi973]

Is there any statistical evidence that unarmed black people are killed at a higher rate per police encounter than other races?

Cops statistically kill more whites than blacks per capita.

that's a FBI stat by the way
