    Is the goal to stop racism? Or just stop it in America and a couple other countries? You guys been to mainland China or Saudi?

    • India is the biggest racist country it seems.grafician
    • but yes, if it stops in the US, it can follow after that worldwide, as many countries still look up to America as an example of "great" country.grafician
    • You think china will follow and india? HaHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA...Raybandana
    • ACTUALLY, the goal of BLM is to stop the police killing of black men, women and children. And if we can't, to at least hold those cops accountable.nb
    • What part of the phrase "black lives matter" is confusing to you? What part of that phrase makes you think of China or Saudi?nb
    • Start here, rural america

    • arent their black people in china and saudi? dont they matter?Raybandana
    • I mean can you at least please take two seconds on Wikipedia before you swoop in with your condescending snarky bullshit?nb
    • okay so we're just going after the cops?Raybandana
    • Obviously they matter. What are you saying? Stop asking stupid rhetorical questions. It's an immature way of making a point.nb
    • Or we're only helping people in America?Raybandana
    • People are free to pursue many causes at once. BLM is just one cause, but it's clearly one that resonates with a lot of people right now.nb
    • Who's pain matters the most?Raybandana
    • Again, dude, you're being a total prick. Stop with the rhetorical questions.nb
    • It was always an American movement. Why did you think otherwise?yuekit
    • If someone starts a food bank, do you say it's a bad idea because there are people starving halfway around the world?yuekit
    • One reason we're "going after cops" (as you so childishly put it) is that this is a VERY easy problem to solve: 1. Hold cops accountable. Easy.nb
    • No just wondering what the right way to solve this problem is.Raybandana
    • 2. Divert funding from weapons, lawsuits and put it towards giving cops more PTO, therapy, and don't ask them to deal with every problem in our communities.nb
    • I guess its just about american tthis time, but watch out if you travel because your going to be starting from zero again.Raybandana
    • Well if you don't want to read or learn and instead just want to make broad statements based on your own bias, there's probably no reaching you. Best of luck.nb
    • You are more than welcome to start working on solving racism wherever you see it, be it your country or globally.nb
    • It would be a much better use of your time than coming on a web forum and posting like you're some kind of teenage troll in his mom's basement.nb
    • If you tried to stop it in Saudi you'd be locked up for sure. You cant say bad things about the locals, so it you cant really stand up there for it.Raybandana
    • Do you live in Saudi? It's always best to work on a local level. See what you can do in your own neighborhood. You don't need to solve everything at once.nb
    • Yea you can't do that in countries with no free speech. They don't allow protest . You could tell people what is right, which i did, but no one caresRaybandana
    • Yea you can't do that in countries with no free speech. They don't allow protest . You could tell people what is right, which i did, but no one caresRaybandana
    • terrified to even think of anything that could be a conflict. I can only talk about this now cause im out of the country. Thats how intense it is. So good luck.Raybandana
    • Here in America, we allow protest. We also allow cops to beat the shit out of protesters so maybe we should fix our issues before we start lecturing Saudi.nb
    • alright, so the billions of other people in the world will have to wait for american to set the standard. got it.Raybandana
    • Why would they have to wait?nb
    • Because their waiting for American to solve it.Raybandana
    • Why, though?nb
    • Americans: we solved racism!
      Russians:
      Chinese: [sending hackers to steal the recipe]
      Europeans: Finally
      Indians: Looks great what app did you use?

    • Racism is just the tip and has many levels.omahadesigns
    • Stupid questions. This just happens to have started in America because of Americans in American situations, and now having an American protest.monospaced
    • It doesn’t mean it’s ignoring racism worldwide. That is a very flawed leap of logic there buddy.monospaced
    • the people defending it have little respect or knowledge of the larger world. chasing own ends. the good ol "greed"deathboy
    • pawns of special interests and media hoping to gain un earned wealths and powerdeathboy
    • The people are simply focused on what is affecting them. The idea that some people in the Midwest would take to the streets over Middle East racism is stupid AFmonospaced
    • It’s not a matter of ignorance. It’s a matter of practicality.monospaced
    • Ok I guess the billions of other people will suffer and its just the americans that get speak and fight about it.Raybandana
    • because its only practical to solve racism in America, not anywhere else. Only American Black Lives matter, not Black lives anywhere else, becauseRaybandana
    • because its only practical to solve racism in America, not anywhere else. Only American Black Lives matter, not Black lives anywhere else, becauseRaybandana
    • Its too impractical to fight the problem anywhere else but America.Raybandana
    • Case closed! Only America is lucky enough to have the freedom to protest the rest can burn in hell because its just too impractical.Raybandana
    • Once again, you missed the point. It's like you're willfully ignoring how this happened, and why, just to make some nonsense statement about the middle east.monospaced
    • This is an American movement. Why would BLM protests extend to a completely separate issue entirely? Fucking idiot.monospaced
    • Dont all black lives matter everywhere? Only America I guess right? Cause that where the problem is right? Fucking Idiot.Raybandana
    • Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international human rights movement. You fucking idiot. Look it up. You fucking idiot.Raybandana
