The TRUE God says in the bible HE is not partial.

Isnt that enough to know????

How many different kinds of flowers,trees,fruits,veggies <and we can go on and on>did he make?

Singer Billie Eilish denounced the "All Lives Matter" cause Saturday in a statement posted to Instagram in response to the death of George Floyd.

Eilish, 18, wrote that she spent the past week trying to figure out a way to "address this delicately," referring to proponents of the "All Lives Matter" world view. Eilish, who has more than 63 million Instagram followers, said that she strives to use her "enormous" platform to be respectful and to carefully think through what she says and how she says it.

She then said that if she hears one more white person say, "All lives matter," she would lose her "f------ mind."

"No one is saying your life doesn't matter," Eilish wrote. "No one is saying your life is not hard. No one is saying literally anything about you.

"This is not about you," she continued. "Stop making everything about you. You are not in need. You are not in danger."

Eilish, whose full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell, said she would explain it as she would to a child.

"If your friend gets a cut on their arm are you gonna wait to give all your friends" a Band-Aid first "because all arms matter?" she asked. "No," she said, adding that you would help your friend who was bleeding because they are in pain and in need.

Eilish provided another example, asking if a person's house was on fire and someone was trapped inside, "are you gonna make the fire department go to every other house on the block first because all houses matter???"

"No," she said, because they don't "f------ need it."


The post was written almost entirely in caps.

You are privileged whether you realize it or not, Eilish wrote.

"Society gives you privilege just for being white," she wrote. "You can be poor, you can be struggling..and still your skin color is giving you more privilege than you even realize and nobody is saying that makes you better than anyone."

This allows white people to live without having to worry about surviving, simply because of their skin color, Eilish wrote.

"If all lives matter," she asked, "why are black people killed for just being black? Why are immigrants persecuted? Why are white people given opportunities that people of other races aren't?"

Eilish questioned why white people can protest stay-at-home orders while carrying semi-automatic weapons, as some have at the State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan, and why black people are labeled "thugs" for protesting "the murder of innocent people."

Eilish said that white privilege affects other minority groups and that in this moment "we have to address hundreds of years of oppression of black people."


"The slogan 'Black Lives Matter' does not mean other lives don't," Eilish wrote. It is "calling attention to the fact that society clearly thinks black lives don't f------ matter."

Thank you for posting! There are and have been plenty of links, videos, and images that explain the movement but people still act like it's so hard to understand.  :sweat:

What happened to George Floyd was absolutely awful and should have never occurred with the police. I pray for his family and loved ones at this time. Especially because it has been all over the media. That being said I believe all lives matter, not just black lives.

This is just an excuse go loot and riot  and destroy people's lives.  We are all human beings and everyone matters.  I am so sick of this bull every few months.  Every protestor should be in jail.  It should be a felony too.

What does BLM have to do with looting and rioting?  ??? Also, when did anyone mention that everyone doesn't matter? Lastly, why should people be in jail for exercising their first amendment rights? Saying that should be a felony offense sounds ignorant.

Yep! That is becoming apparent on this forum.

I love the picture of the little girl and the message is strong. It seems that there are a great many people that take offense to the statement "Black lives matter" as it seems pointed and exclusionary. Someone else brought up the point that saying 'white lives matter' would not be tolerated and that those saying it would be deemed racist. This is not a two way road and, these days, people are encouraged to not say things that offend others even if the meaning is understood. The killing of civilians in the United States is a systemic problem and the rates are considerably higher. Latest statistics place the number of civilians killed by police (in the United States) at pne thousand and ninety nine. The closest runner up was Canada with thirty six casualties at the hands of police.Statistics place the likelihood of a Black American at two point five times greater than White Americans; thirty percent more likely in New York and Illinois and ten percent less in Western states.

Stop using the kids to spread this BLM agenda of hate for white people. All lives matter. Why are the BLM movement ignoring the killing of so many blacks in places like chicago by thier own blacks...this movement is a political movement, its not about black lives....

BLM does matter. The protests for change are good but Those fakers who join some of their protests or use their name who are there to cause trouble and destroy stuff need to be stopped. Those other groups that have been using violence &  the BLM name need to go away. Those other groups do nothing for the BLM movement

I have never been able to understand what is going on in the minds of racist people and I do not think I will ever be able to understand. 
I personally do not see the difference between people, especially I do not see sense in judging someone by simple nationality or skin color. 
I think this is not right and I educate my children in the same way because I want them to raise people with a big soul who does not judge so stupidly. 
That's why I started ordering from ceaseracism.com T-shirts and other things with the inscription Black Lives Matters and I'm proud to wear them.
