black Lives Matter

[potluck6]

they shut down the Bay bridge. It goes to San Fran hundreds of cars waited over an hour.I'd be so pissed off believe in their cause but come on now. They chained themselves together think there will be more like this in the next few days.

At least no one got shot. I can deal with an hour of wasted time.

ALL lives matter !!

people should march in neighborhoods where black teens shoot other teens because this happens many more times than police shooting people.

Waiting an hour in traffic is just another day in New York City and on a commute to it.  There's significance to them protesting on a bridge (MLK's Selma to Montgomery march) and because of that, I'm relieved nobody was hurt.

ALL lives matter !!

Yes all lives matter but it's a reminder that Black lives matter as well.

Saying all lives matter is like saying what about prostate/colon/lung  cancer during a breast cancer event. It's not that one is more important than the other but it what's being focused on at that particular time

I believe all lives matter.  But the blacks are carring this just a little too far. They do not care how much trouble they cause. I do not believe this is what MLK had in mind with his I have a dream. I think it was more them working and making a decent salary. If the white people were to do this we would all be arrested.

I rather suspect they turned off way more people than they gathered to their cause.  They really need to get a job instead of keeping working people from getting to their jobs.

That is actually part of the problem. You can't group an entire ethnicity by the actions you've seen from a few. Why would you assume that Black people don't have jobs and that's why they're there?

I think the Oregon occupation is a sign that white people would not be arrested. Armed people have taken over federal property for almost 3 weeks and they're still there. Black people have actually just stood places peacefully but they've been removed by force and been arrested.White men do premeditated mass shootings but get taken into custody peacefully and let off because they're mentally troubled.  A black boy seen with a toy gun in an open carry state and gets shot in seconds.

Thanks ladavia89 for your comment because vickysue just don't understand or just don't want to.  Black people have been treated different than white for decades and they still are, ask yourself why?  Because they are black.... think before you may a comment like that or do you don't think black lives matter either..I'm just saying...

ladavia you made some very good points. This is why they started Black lives Matter. I so agree with you on all that you mentioned.
