Saying "All lives matter" isn't inherently racist. It is just pointless. Here's what I mean:![]()
“We are listing them because they are clearly white supremacists.”
White Lives Matter will soon be listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
SPLC said the status will be reflected in the next update of its “Hate Map,” which tracks the activities of hate groups around the country.
“I can’t speak to how many chapters will be listed, but it’s clear that the leadership of the group, the ends of the group ― it’s just a flat-out white supremacist group,” Heidi Beirich, director of the center’s Intelligence Report, told the Houston Chronicle. “The ideology behind it, the racist leaders, everything about it is racist.”
White Lives Matter made headlines earlier this month when the group sent armed protesters to an NAACP office in Houston, where they waved Confederate flags.
“We are listing them because they are clearly white supremacists,” Beirich told VICE News. “Their motto should be ‘only white lives matter.’”
Although some called for Black Lives Matter to be listed as a hate group after the shooting deaths of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, that organization doesn’t hold supremacist or separatist views and its leaders have condemned violence.

I agree with SPLC that White Lives Matter should be listed as a hate group based on their racist actions and rhetoric.
The SPLC paints such a broad brush with their "hate group" screed that them calling out these actual racists will not have any real impact.
Of course, the next step for progressives is to link these white lives matters idiots with people who say "all lives matter", and thus continue the narrative that saying all lives matter is inherently racist.
You, me, and...say...30 other people go to a restaurant for dinner. Everyone gets there food, except Mike.
So, Mike says, "Mike deserves food,"
You respond with ,"All 20 of us deserve food,"
While your statement is factually accurate, it does nothing to alter the fact that Mike still doesn't have his fucking food!!!
While saying "All live matter" is factually accurate, it does nothing to alter the fact that African Americans are being treated unfairly by our justice system. Black Lives Matter isn't about black people hate white people; it is about black people are pissed off at police, and the justice system.
Well reading the BLM manifesto, its not just that Mike doesn't have his food, he wants it, and he wants others to pay for it, or better yet take the food off their own plates and give it to him. And not voluntarily, but with guards in the restaurant forcing people to do it.
And in their pissed off state, they are doing things to alienate potential allies. They are venting, not proposing viable solutions. and now they have been co-opted by the Hard left, who used the movements before them like, the anti-war idiots and the Occupy morons.
Here is a link to what is described as BLM's Manifesto. Cite what you allude to.
