Not even close to the scale of the blacks, Jews and Native Americans' You are being selective and not presenting evidence for your assertions.

Why do “Black Lives Matter”?
- Thread starter roger1440
- Start date
It has not been by just 'individuals,' particularly with blacks on a very large national scale. In the history law enforcement, and the Judicial process in America has been documented as applied maliciously excluding blacks with equal protection under the law. Laws were not equal either. The South block anti-lynching legislation up until the 1990's. The South opposed equal rights and equal voting legislation up until the 1960's. In rebellion the leaders of the South switched to the Republican party from the Democratic parties.
Even though the the laws for the GI Bills for education did not discriminate. The entire bureaucracy excluded blacks until the 1970's and no one in the government or legislature opposed it. Black farmers were excluded from farm loans up until the 1990's.
If laws on paper were sufficient to guarantee equality, why was it necessary to pass specific laws of of anti-discrimination, and many particularly fought against the laws. Why were so many blacks wrongfully convicted of major ?rimes, even found innocent after they were executed?
What I listed is only the tip of the iceberg.

Many laws are in and of themselves written race neutral, but in history they are not implemented neutral.

The problem is history and today will not necessarily include blacks in 'All lives Matter,' and many absolutely do not include it in 'All Lives Matter.'

You're kidding, right? What do you mean, why now? This is nothing new. Have you heard of the civil rights movement in the 1960's? Have you never heard of the protests throughout the years? Apparently not.
That's why now. Because you haven't been listening. You haven't gotten the message yet.
All lives matter. Black lives are part of that group. The movement just seeks to remind us of that. A life is not less because of the color of its skin, political view, race, creed, religion, etc.
You posted this like a troll looking to stir the pot. Was there more to your OP or have I just about got it nailed down?

They matter now for the same reason they have always mattered to fair minded people.
It is not just now, but over time the issue has become more intense over time, because of the wide spread view that Black lives do not matter as much as white lives. There is a history here like 300 years that Black lives do not matter. 'Black Lives Matter' is just a new saying to an old tragic problem, nothing new
It is not just now. 'Black Lives Matter' is just the most recent name for a long brutal history that 'Black Lives have not mattered in the past.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I think the purpose is intended to bring attention to the disparity of race issues in the US. In particular the mistreatment of black men and women by the government.

Why don't you tell us of all these oppressed people, so that we may recognize them?

BLM is the Trojan Horse Antifa is using.
Report: Antifa Sets Up Mafia-Like Shakedown Racket In Seattle 'No Cop' Zone
"Ironically, and, it goes without saying, hypocritically, antifa, Black Lives Matter, radicals and other allies have chased out official Seattle institutions, such as cops, and replaced them with – wait for it – cop-like overseers or warlords, as my PJ Media colleague Bryan Preston discovered. Put another way, according to Ngo, they’ve got themselves a hierarchical social structure."

This is what they do. This is what they've always done. They create a flash point--BLM this time--send in some people who think they'll be part of a peaceful protest, the usual looters, and a whole lot of rebels without a clue... and then seed the protest with their Antifa thugs... who knock old men unconscious, burn stuff just because it's there, and make the people who've lost their property, police protection, and peace of mind... mad at the blacks.
Coming Soon to a theater near you.

WRONG. Totally and completely wrong. "Antifa" is being attacked by fascists who are lying to try to set up a fascist dictatorship in the USA headed by King Trump and his minions of corrupt evil people.
