Black Lives Matter Movement

Okay, so I have accepted you challenge. Let me deal with your arguments one at a time. First of all you attack the name. You say it should be called Black Lives Also Matter. Right now the race problem is with the blacks. To say Black lives ALSO matter would suggest there is a "race," or "competition" between the two races. The movement is about blacks, not whites, and not both, so why say also? Anyways, arguing the name is not important. The name is irrelevant to what they have actually done, or will do. Secondly, you claim that Police Officers kill more white people than black people. You are right. But this information is irrelevant. Killing is killing. The large reason that statistic is true, is because blacks only make up 13.3% of the population according to www.census.gov. So of course more whites die, there are more whites. At any rate, why would killing all those blacks be all of the sudden okay, and not racist just because more of the majority are killed than the minority. So that also is an invalid argument. It"s not intelligent to justify killings with more killings. Another thing is that you said you are not going to bring up bar graphs. Listen you have to be precise. I assume you mean statistics in general when you say bar graphs. You have to be specific, accurate, and precise. Otherwise you argument is worthless. Exact facts are the floor to your argument, without it you will fall. You also called the views of the third party you disagree with childish. Personal attack is never ok in debate, and just discredits you as a person, and a debater. Ok so allow me to quote you. "I'm here to tell you that police brutality effect's all of us." So you admit there is a problem with police brutality. But you broke your own argument with this statement. Remember blacks are only 13.3%. And given the past, we as white people have had a problem with black racism. It started as ignorance, but then the attitude became multigenerational. Here in the west we have a smaller problem with racism. But places in the south are plagued by a higher, more genuine racism. You use the Black on Black crime rate against us. Again this is irrelevant. The movement is about white on black crime, why would we make our focus black on black. We are of course concerned, but that is not the specific goal of the organization. So once again, another irrelevant argument. We are not trying to pull down whites, but pull us up to them. Ok so you broke down facts, and they are definitely broken down. Fact #1 Protestors are violent. This is a bad argument. It"s not ok to be violent, and these are cases where the crowd gets excited. It"s not like the BLM leaders sit in a conference and say, "at exactly one hour get violent." So that"s not their original intent. Remember that the entire Revolutionary War was a violent protest, and good came of it. If it weren"t for violent protest, America wouldn"t be here. Fact #2 Blacks lest likely to have lethal force used against them. Remember that we are talking about police brutality. While this may be true, you don"t have to kill to be brutal Fact #3 More white people were killed by police in 2014- white people dead- 414, Black people- 233 This is of course irrelevant with the already mentioned fact that blacks are only 13.3% of the population. In fact this is condemning evidence for your argument. Fact #4 Also in 2015 493 white people were killed by police brutality and 258 black people were killed. Fact 4 is the same as fact 3, but more up to date. We can use the same argument against it. THAT"S YOUR ARGUMENT
