I thought over the past couple days both candidates have used the All lives matter randys1 Jun 2015 #7

Sorry. Didn't realize your comment was in reference to a couple of days. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #10

Are you saying both candidates may be racist because of "phraseology" (Bernie's word today) madfloridian Jun 2015 #4

Uh Oilwellian Jun 2015 #9

Don't worry, we are all at times nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #49

Have not read the decision on disparate impact, but it was protected, right? randys1 Jun 2015 #55

Yeah it was nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #56

Because it is rhetorical, his actions and history have already answered. He should ask Snotcicles Jun 2015 #14

Exactly Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #78

So true. madfloridian Jun 2015 #81

It's not rhetorical, people aren't making it a movement cause they don't have shit else to do... uponit7771 Jun 2015 #100

I think Bernie refused to say it today because the interviewer was trying to get him to condemn jwirr Jun 2015 #18

You didn't hear the interview. David Green is good. kwassa Jun 2015 #94

I prefer "All lives matter" philosophically.... Adrahil Jun 2015 #77

Why do you think not repeating "black lives matter" means you're racist? MrMickeysMom Jun 2015 #103

Oh for christ sake, where in the HELL did I say Bernie was racist, my point was by NOT randys1 Jun 2015 #115

Maybe I misunderstood you when you posted... MrMickeysMom Jun 2015 #117

I thought it was obvious that the reason he wouldnt say it was to appeal to the randys1 Jun 2015 #118

Okay! MrMickeysMom Jun 2015 #119

You suppose they're going through stages of acceptance? MrMickeysMom Jun 2015 #121

I think you missed what happened in that interview. He was being baited to attack Hillary. sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #114

Because the term "all lives matter" Oilwellian Jun 2015 #13

So some don't think all lives matter? madfloridian Jun 2015 #16

I think that's a given Oilwellian Jun 2015 #20

The interviewer tried to get Bernie to attack Hillary's "all lives matter". He wouldn't. madfloridian Jun 2015 #21

Yeah, the black community was not happy about what Hillary did Oilwellian Jun 2015 #38

In a way... kenfrequed Jun 2015 #52

It was a stupid move by the HRC team, Glenn Beck was there a few days earlier shouting All Lives Mat Rex Jun 2015 #23

I agree with all you and the author say but one thing does bother me with "Black Lives Matter." A Simple Game Jun 2015 #46

Because in America, POC are much more often treated by society as if they're dispensable- without bettyellen Jun 2015 #82

No that would be discrimination, and no we aren't supposed to pretend A Simple Game Jun 2015 #85

And THAT is what the slogan means- black lives matter bettyellen Jun 2015 #87

No it isn't racist it is discrimination. For good or bad you are setting up a group of people A Simple Game Jun 2015 #89

Racism against white people in the 21 century USA? Ha ha ha bettyellen Jun 2015 #96

Whoi said the 21st century, move the goal posts much? n/t A Simple Game Jun 2015 #112

So- you'd like this conversation to have no modern context bettyellen Jun 2015 #123

So you admit there is discrimination other than against Blacks. A Simple Game Jun 2015 #126

I hope you're kidding. bettyellen Jun 2015 #127

Am I kidding about Sexism is a form of discrimination? A Simple Game Jun 2015 #128

No that is not it at all, here is the real reason so many found All Lives Matter offensive. Rex Jun 2015 #22

Bull shit it isn't racist upaloopa Jun 2015 #28
