    All this video shows me is that Black Live Matter is accept by many races and All Lives Matter is not

    "all lives matter" is irrelevant because all lives aren't under attack.

    No lives are despite what the propaganda would have you believe.

    Jeez. It is implicit that the saying is "Black lives matter too"...

    I thought it was fairly obvious.

    To be fair... "BLM" can mean ONLY"BLM" or "BLM" TOO. Of course ONLY "BLM" doesn't make too much sense when BL "doesn't" Matter do exists in this nation through studies after studies.

    I'm wondering when we are going to see MLM?

    I'll tell you what happens without watching the video or reading the thread: the community that has suffered more will react more emotionally + anti-science people will think this experiment results in reliable conclusions.

    Another interesting experiment would be looking at how many posts right wingers post negative topics or posts involving black people.

    Bigotexx, it's telling how you only find the graffiti you're looking for. It's like you have an agenda or something. All lives matter! Derp.

    Racist graffiti attack on historic black school in Virginia


    [​IMG]Image

    A historic black school in Virginia which was being restored has been vandalised with racist graffiti.

    The Ashburn Colored School in Virginia, about 30 miles (50km) west of Washington DC, was discovered covered in swastikas and "white power" slogans.

    Local students had been restoring the crumbling building, hoping to create an education museum.

    The group, which had raised $20,000 (£15,000) for the project, said it was "heartbroken about this senseless act".

    Loudoun County Sheriff's Office has opened an investigation.

    "The vandalism to the Old Ashburn School is reprehensible and will not be tolerated here in Loudoun County," said Sheriff Mike Chapman.

    The Ashburn Colored School opened in 1892, when schools were racially segregated by law, to teach African American students in Loudoun County.

    It remained open until the late 1950s, years after the US Supreme Court banned segregated education.

    Former student Yvonne Neal she : "It's like a landmark for those of us who went there."

    Students from the neighbouring Loudoun School for the Gifted, who have been working on the restoration, hope to transform the interior into a museum of education.

    "While we are heartbroken about this senseless act, please know that our students, volunteers, and community will work even harder to complete the dream of renovating the Ashburn Colored School," the group said on its Facebook page.

    A crowdfunding campaign for the project raised over $21,000, with a fresh wave of donations arriving since the vandalism.

    The organisers estimate the total cost of the project at close to $100,000.

    That's just sad. Schools like that are a part of our American history....although some would prefer that history to be forgotten. What kind of individual would vandalize a historic building such as that?

    I've mentioned this before, let's be honest. Not all black lives matter. Not all lives matter as a matter a fact. There is plenty of lives that don't. So that said, BLM has to be the worst name/slogan of any movement. It's untrue, it's racist, it's dividing, it has to be clarified, etc... It's so awful they should re-brand if they truly want progress for their cause.

    I don't have all the details but it looks like the experiment took place near a grocery store in a middle class type area for the white group. The experiment appeared to take place near a poor street corner (housing project?) for the black group. Maybe next time he could perform this near a middle class grocery store that both races frequent. Or, have a black man hold the BLM sign at an impoverished white town.

    Also, I'm sure the creator is not very fond of BLM. His key takeaway however seemed to be that black people were the problem as opposed to blm specifically. From a political standpoint, i think it would be best that conservatives continue to make the distinction between BLM and black people. I don't think that saying black people, in general, are aggressive and hateful is a very popular viewpoint, not a winning viewpoint at least. Just giving some advice.

    Didn't watch the video but I am 90% sure it was a staged/fake prank.

    That's called premeditated murder. I'll make a note of it.

    It'd be good to control for economic disparity for science. But this is also an Internet YouTube video, so it's cut and edited and hard to factually prove if there's an agenda or not.

    Regardless, people should not resort to violence or aggressive behavior for differences in opinion.
