    Of course it's racist.

    Go run around the country yelling, 'White Lives Matter' and see how long it takes before the FBI comes kicking down your door.

    It wasn't a racist idea until a crowd shouted down someone for saying All Lives Matter. That pushed the idea over the line into racist territory.

    yes .. think about it Black lives matter when taken by the police or a white person. . but the thousands killed in black on black crime even when there children don't seem too. If you look at it . It's more like punishing those who did it even when justified to there fit there agenda ..not about the value of the life taken...

    It is a racist motto filled with hate. Tell them all lives matter and you will labeled racist by the left.

    Yes. Their motto is that only black lives matter, we can do whatever we want, we are above any laws, and there's not anything anyone can do about that. It clearly means that no one else's life matters. It's pure racism. Simple as that.

    Yes black lives matter is a racist hate group.

    Of course it is. It's just more people trying to stir up racial unrest in America. If they really care about black lives, they should be protesting in front of abortion clinics and planned parenthood....more black babies are aborted than any other race.

    Considering the fact that they don't believe anyone elses life matters its not just racist, but a hate group.

    Yes. It implies that other lives don't matter as much. It implies that other races don't have societal issues. It implies that the black community is the only one struggling.

    Middle Eastern/Arabic people experience the most blatant and open racism in this country, but nobody marches with a sign "Arab Lives Matter".

    If they want to fight for social justice, fight for ALL minorities' right to equal treatment. "All Lives Matter" is more accurate. We all matter, regardless of skin color, ethnicity, or nationality.
