Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

My question, what makes people think that the Black People only think their lives matter?
I don't get that from their message- I think they are just trying to say- "Hey Mr. Policeman- Black Lives Matter- SO please don't just kill us as if our lives don't matter to you"!
I think they have a right to express this to the public!
What are you talking about? All lives matter but some aren't treated like they do because their suffrage has been glazed over for so long. White lives don't need a support group or much help at all. How is any of this Socialism? They need a hand up after they've had the boot down so long.
Dear Moron,
The phrase "BLACK LIVES MATTER" can be interpreted in two ways.
The first is the refection that Blacks (Negroes) are all members of the species homo sapiens (Charles Darwin initially wasn't 100% sure about that, BTW) and therefore a Black life is as valuable as a White life, or the life of any individual from any other ethnic/racial grouping.
The second way that the phrase "Black Lives Matter" can be interpreted is as referring to an extremist, Marxist political organization that hates every aspect of traditional Western culture/civilisation and is hell- bent on destroying them all.
I think that the second interpretation is more correct, given what I have watched recently on the news (in terms of violent rioting, murder, arson, statue toppling, lawlessness and calls to defund the police, etc, etc.) And for me, MARXIST LIVES DO NOT MATTER A Marxist is an immoral, destructive, pathogen, that seeks to destroy healthy, vital Western society. If I knew what I know now (in 2020) and I could travel back in time to America in the 1930s, I'd do the US a favour and put all the members of Frankfurt School out of their misery: BANG! - BANG ! - BANG ! - BANG ! - BANG ! (Just like "Dirty Harry.")

Same old tired RIGHT WING EXTREMIST WHITE SUPREMACIST cliche's huh?
I bet those Policeman that killed that Black man in Minneapolis the other day, wished they had of thought before they broke the law and Murdered a Black Man in front of witnesses and captured on film!
If you don't want to face Murder charges- DON'T BREAK THE LAW! THAT GOES FOR WHITE POLICEMEN TOO!
Have you got anymore great philosophy?
