rosecarmel my post was a riposte to Gagajo's comment The fact is, white lives have ALWAYS mattered*
That comment is not true and I listed white groups that have been treated with utter disregard contempt and cruelty for long periods. The extent of my comment went no further than that.
I am absolutely with the movement to make Black Lives Matter. I just think these gestures become mechanical and meaningless if continued too long but are remembered as special when, like in the UK, we had a limited summer campaign of shouting, clapping and banging sucepans. We will always remember it as special because it had an end point and did not outlive its welcome and gradually dwindle away.
