Funny wasn't, quite the mark I was trying to hit, but realism way.
I do wonder how the world has been divided so severely and how pure rational thoughts seem to fly out of the window.
But in this instance, the rationality is death to mankind, and some appear not to even care, hypocrisy at the highest level that has ever been seen.

'All lives matter' is a proxy parasite designed to weaken the point in hand. I think a lot of folk are finally seeing through it.

That is a simplification that needs some clarifying.
The protest movement is not saying ' Black American Lives Matter '...it is saying ' Black Lives Matter ' This, therefore, includes, by definition, all black people globally. Black is defined as ' mid to dark brown ' complexion. Not all black people have dark skin. Are the protestors including the black population of the UK? Which is 1% Black Caribbean...0.8% Black African...0.2% Black Other. Are they including Sub Saharan Africans, the majority of whom have independence and control their own affairs. The inference is that there is persecution of black people globally. Not true. They have used a ' broadstrokes ' title to get their message across, when the real problem centres in one country and that country has fought issues of colour prejudice for much of its short history. Of course we have had issues in the UK and are still fighting them but we are decades ahead of the USA in terms of tolerance, acceptance and treatment of black people.
If anything, the Jewish race have more of a global problem than black people. Systemic anti-semitism exists everywhere, including the UK. The recent publicity surrounding the Labour Party highlights the problem. People of mixed race ethnicity have risen through the political ranks and so have many Jews. But they are blocked in pursuit of the highest office of state.
The question these protestors should be asking is why the great strides forward made by the civil rights campaigners in the 50's and 60's were not maintained. Why a black president made little or no difference. Why the police get away with so little accountability in a country that has 18,000 separate police forces. Thats the problem that has to be addressed. Rogue officers getting re-employed by other forces with very little difficulty. If you don't weed out the bad apples, the barrel stays rotten. Has the problem been simmering below the surface for years, suppressed to some extent, by black people themselves, who were happier with their increasingly better lifestyles ( particularly under Trump ) and didn't feel the need to protest as much. This one issue has re-ignited the fire.
I think an ' All Lives Matter ' statement might have been better termed..' Other Lives Matter ' As for ' Black Lives Matter ' well...imho...its too inclusive but the genie is out of the bottle now and its been embraced by all and sundry.
p.s..Its now become fashionable to put down anyone with a different viewpoint as ...' Thick and Racist ' This immaturity has to stop otherwise every debate will get dragged to this level.

The BLM movement has weakened their cause because it has been done irresponsibly with NO thought of the NHS and every person vulnerable to this vile disease, they don't give a S*** who they may have just killed or how many they have killed and infected.
Extra deaths will happen, and you know it.
The sad thing is that there is a big part of this is driven through the leftie activist, they are a danger to mankind, some of them on this board. (not suggesting you)
They should have done this in a correct way with real power through the internet with structured online petitions, they would have gone off the scale and:
NO innocent people would be killed,
NO Police would have been injured,
NO animals would have been injured,
NO respect would have been lost for these brainless morons
AND they would not have DIVIDED the country even WIDER.

But your statement is throwing in a proxy parasite again.
I'm sad you can't see this.
The cause itself is not connected to the activities of those who support it.
I'll try and explain this through a different scenario.
You, like me, love football. In the 1980s and even recently, the game has been affected by the actions of hooligans.
Do you believe that football is no longer a fantastic sport because of this ? You probably feel the same way about the game itself. You would just rather the nasty element stayed away and stopped trying to ruin things for others. But it is still the great game it always was.
The movement to address issues of prejudice and discrimination is a great wave of consciousness. That doesn't change because a group of people use measures worthy of condemnation to promote it.
