I know that this is not a popular position to take (especially with liberals), but how about people treat everyone with dignity and respect?

I am not a civil rights expert, but it seems to me that one of the best to eliminate racism is to stop referring to based on their race.

It feels like there are people who need racism to exist so that they will have something to be angry about and an excuse to stir up various groups of people.

From the coverage of the protesting that I have been seeing lately, the only Black Lives that really matter are those that are taken by a White Law Enforcement Officer. When many black lives are lost on the streets of Chicago on a weekly basis, none of these protesters lift a finger to protest them.

Not just Chicago.
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, St Louis, Oakland, Atlanta, New Orleans.
BLM is doing nothing to address the black on black murders/crime in those cities.

Of course they don't as it doesn't fit their narrative. BLM is a political organization more than anything else. They are there to prop up the far left wing of the Democratic party and act as a puppet for George Soros. It is a shame that so many people are falling for their propaganda.

People must respect themselves before they can respect others.

Which speaks directly to your question, "Does Black Lives Matter Actually Care About Black Lives?"

The answer is, NO! They only care about certain Black deaths; only those that can be capitalized on to gain or maintain certain political advantage. That political advantage is not employed to become "equal" or to bring Blacks more into the fold of the American experience; it is intended to cause upheaval and destruction.

That the political movement is Marxist means that individuals and their lives simply can't matter. I look at the incredible attention (and outrage) being nurtured over Floyd, it seems so out of sync with the incredible numbers of Blacks murdered at the hand of Blacks, (especially young Black men) which doesn't move the needle on the care scale.

The regular US citizen has no real understanding of the scale of death in the African American community in America, the numbers can't really be comprehended. How one death, unquestionably horrific and criminal, can so grab the national attention -- when ten thousand others all flow into a river of blood -- is a wonder of marketing and group-think.

Ponder this and ask yourselves if Black Lives Matter:

If the entire nation was murdered at the same rate as Black males aged 15-29, there would have been over 250,000 murders in 2017, nearly 14 times the actual total.

Another way of visualizing just how disproportionate the Black on Black homicide rate is: There is a way to realize a 94% reduction in the homicide rate of Black males aged 15-29 . . . That would be for them to equalize with the homicide rate of White males aged 15-29. If that were to happen there would have been 279 instead of 4,578 young Black men murdered in 2017, a 94% reduction.

For all the fury and disgusting temper-tantrums, it's clear that Black Lives Do Not Matter, to the people who are claiming they do . . .

Here is the UN calling for America to give blacks reparations.

Maybe the UN should go to Africa and do something to stop "Actual" slavery.

over 40 million people in Africa are currently enslaved, why do all the bleeding hearts not care about them?

Very true, According to BLM, only black lives taken by police matter. The vast majority of murdered blacks do not matter to anyone, from what I can gather.

I have been saying the same thing, that is basically what they are say everyday. It has nothing to do with black lives in general.
