#blacklivessometimesmatter

Apparently the #blacklivesmatter folks are a bit selective, based on current evidence and not all black lives actually matter so much.

For example:

  • Black lives matter when Bernie Sanders tries to talk.
  • Black lives don't matter so much when Hillary talks.


  • Black lives matter when black men (justified or not) are shot by the Police.
  • Black lives don't matter so much when blacks are killed by other blacks (which happens significantly more often - a black man is much more likely to be killed by another black person than by anyone else, police included).


  • Black lives matter when someone dares to point out that really "all lives matter".
  • Black lives don't matter so much when black women abort their unborn babies (which happens at a disproportionate rate as compared to other ethnic groups).

Another interesting point is that the black lives matters group gets funding from that old, european white guy George Soros. So maybe some of the concern about which specific black lives matter depends on which ones George thinks matter?

Based on this maybe they should change their hashtag to #blacklivessometimesmatter
