If all lives matter why does it offend some people when others say black lives matter?
Are black lives not lives too?
They are indeed, but they are worth no more or less than any other life. I'm an egalitarian, I don't believe in discrimination of any kind, positive or negative.
If all lives matter do you support universal healthcare?
No, because it generally doesn't work. Coming from the country that spawned the barely-functional monstrosity called the NHS I know of what I speak.
If all lives matter do you oppose the death penalty?
No, because justice must be upheld and criminals must be punished.
Are there any contradictions here that need extra clarification or does all lives matter cover everyone?
It covers everyone. Every man and woman is a human being with free will and free agency- and every man and woman must be willing to accept the consequences of their actions.
Has the police responce to protests against police brutality calmed or enflamed tensions?
The mob doesn't care either way, they just want to burn things.
Has the president's responce calmed or enflamed tensoons?
It should have calmed things given that he came out in support of George, but of course, the mob weren't interested.
What should the penalty be for murder?
Death.
What should the penalty be for using a forged $20 bill?
A more pertinent question would be "What should the penalty be for armed robbery and threatening a pregnant woman with a gun?".
What should the penalty be for cops who murder?
Kinda irrelevant here given that what we're talking about was really manslaughter, not murder.
Should the law apply the same to cops as it does citizens or differently?
It has to apply differently simply because of the nature of their duty.
Should the law apply the same to black people and white people?
Of course.
Does it always?
Perhaps not always, but more than some would have us believe.
Do black and white people receive the same sentences for the same crimes in the courts?
Seeing as the former are usually repeat offenders and as a demographic are committing more of those crimes, this is a loaded question.
Were armed protesters against lockdown treated the same as unarmed protesters against police brutality?
No, the media accused peaceful protestors who exercised their right to bear arms of what the unarmed but violent rioters are actually doing.
Besides being armed what else was different about those protests?
The anti-lockdown protestors weren't burning down an entire city.
What changes were achieved by previous peaceful protests?
I'll tell you when BLM has an actually peaceful protest.
What changes were achieved by previous non-peaceful protests?
Increased racial divides and mass carnage.
Why did the cop who killed George Floyd not get arrested before there were protests?
Incompetence.
Why did he get arrested after there were protests?
To appease the mob.
Was the American Revolution achieved by peaceful protest alone?
No, the American Revolution was over a century ago. And in any event, an armed revolution would be a very bad thing.
What brought slavery to an end in the United States?
One of the most awful, tragic wars in American history, that ended when the Democrat Confederates were defeated by the Republican Unionists.
Who got compensation when slavery ended, the slaves or slave owners?
Irrelevant as slavery has been illegal in the US since then.
Is property more important than lives?
Property of innocent people is more important than the lives of those who would seek to destroy it for no reason.
Why are black people asking for equality not revenge?
It seems they aren't.
Why don't they think they have equality now?
Because their communities have been rotted from the inside by a degraded culture that encourages criminal behaviour, resulting in poor perceptions of these communities as dangerous.
Is equality a bad thing?
That depends very much on what you are comparing as equal. No two men are exactly equal, such is the nature of humans.
Was the United States for or against fascism in world war 2?
The United States was against those that would have done her harm in WW2, who happened to be fascist.They were also deeply against socialism and communism, both in WW2 and afterwards.
Was fascism defeated peacefully or with violence in world war 2?
"Fascism" wasn't defeated. Fascist nations were. The fight was never against the ideology, it was against the nations that had started the war in the first place.
If you were a German in world war 2 what would you have done?
I would have fought for my people, as anyone in any other country in any conflict would.
Are you for or against fascism now?
I am as against it as I am socialism.
Has the KKK ever been recognised as a terrorist organisation?
The KKK is defunct and outlawed.
Should they be?
See above.
How many people have the KKK killed?
Quite a few.
How many people have antifa killed?
Quite a few, though harder to count as the media has acted protectively towards them.
How many people have the police killed?
Lawfully and justifiably or in total?
Who have you spoken out against more, antifa or the KKK?
Antifa.
Why does one bother you more than the other?
Because the other is widely mocked whilst one is taken seriously.
If terrorists use threats of violence to try and intimidate people into doing what they want, how does this differ from police methods?
Because the police are trying to preserve law and order, not undermine it.
If terrorists use threats of violence to try and intimidate people into doing what they want, how does this differ from Donald Trump's rhetoric?
Because Donald Trump, once again, is trying to maintain law and order against an unruly mob.
How does the Chinese government refer to the Hong Kong protesters?
Dissidents, usually. The difference being the Hong Kong protesters are entirely peaceful and genuinely oppressed *COUGH Tiananmen *COUGH*
What percentage of mass shooters are white?
Does that matter? You aren't racist, are you?
How many of them are called terrorists?
Depends on who you are asking.
How many of them are called mentally ill?
Usually the mentally ill ones.
Why did the woman in Central Park think she could threaten someone by saying that she'd call the cops, when she was in the wrong and on film?
Why did she change her tone when she made the call and point out that a black man was attacking her?
What did she think was going to be the likely outcome when the cops arrived?
Why did she think this?
Why do you know what she was thinking too?
Who?
Do you understand that thinking this shouldn't be normal?
It is normal because people are not perfect. Utopian ideals inevitably fall flat.
Do you feel uncomfortable thinking about any of these questions?
No.
Would your answers be any different if you had a different skin colour?
No.
Would your answers be the same if you were reading them out loud to a room of people of the same skin colour as you?
Yes.
Would they be the same if you were reading them out loud to a room of people of a different skin colour to you?
Yes.
If they would be any different, why?
They wouldn't.
What do you think my skin colour is?
Would that matter?
I don't care either way.
Do you feel attacked by any of these questions?
If so, why?
No, but I do think you are asking loaded questions with the intent of a "gotcha" moment.
Let me ask you some questions.
You are a policeman. You have to work in a community of a particular demographic that has higher than average crime rates as a result of the culture that has been fostered within that community (including among other members of the community who are not part of that demographic I might add). Violence is commonplace. Authority is not respected. You may or may not be part of the majority demographic, but because you uphold the law, you are disliked. A man who has committed violent crimes before is in the process of breaking the law. You are meant to apprehend him, and he begins to flee. How would you react?
