I never said that black lives do not matter to me.....That's quoting me out of context.

I was comparing  concern for strangers with concern for family...And all my family happen to be fair skinned.

In terms of respect, I have respect  for all human beings who would not choose to harm me......Perhaps that is the "ought" of mattering.

What?

You will need to be more specific.

Oof, I realized I never reponded, no that is actually providing the context to the quote - you intentionally made a statement like that you could have phrased it differently, but the fact that you choose to specify "black lives" inclines me to believe that you had ulterior motivation in writing that

All Lives Matter in the sense that most humans feel that murder or the ending of someone's life is a crime.  Using All Lives Matter because a POC uses Black Lives Matter is a way to negate a whole group of people and pretty much justifies their protest.

It's a fact of life...You care more about your family, than you do about you next door neighbour.

But always read posts in context, rather than picking out the juicy bits.

Considering the context of the discussion, I never chose to specify anything....BLM was already on the table.

I was just being realistic.

Watch the news and another few hundred covid related deaths is just another statistic....Your Mum or Dad dies and you are devastated....Doesn't matter what colour anyone is.

Doesn't stop one being respectful.

@Dr.Franklin
what makes you think breonna taylor is innocent?
Perhaps because she wasn't accused of a crime.

Perhaps because there was no warrant issued for her arrest.

Saying BLM is correct because ALM is "racist" is an appeal to tradition fallacy.
Simply "not-supporting" BLM does not auto-magically make you a "racist".

I will agree in the big scheme of things my life doesn't mean shit., The world will never miss me or you or anyone on this site if we died today. The world would even know or care.
Well stated.

What do you do when someone starts banging on your door in the middle of the night?

Have you ever considered that a gangster might yell "open up, police" just to get you to let them in?

Certain people matter to certain people for certain reasons.
