I'm not gonna say Black Lives Matter was the wrong name to pick for the movement, but it's one that's led to a lot of confusion due to simple semantics.
A lot of people read it as BLACK Lives Matter, as in, only Black Lives Matter. It's the word they place emphasis on which is why it's the word that got switched out for the alternative movement.
When in reality what it's meant to convey is that Black Lives MATTER. Which sadly needs to be a point of emphasis as black lives are treated by most institutions in this country as if they do not matter.
I don't know how you fix that but you can see a lot of hostility in the video is from people that have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the phrase means. Also a lot are just racist
in maybe very minute towns, but they'd be towns so small, people outside of the state wouldnt even know how to find to do a video like this lmao. We got some racist s***holes, but with almost double the black pop of ark, they typically all feature at least a few blacks who survive there
our lows might be comparable but our highs are way higher
I used to live in Moody, near Leeds

Nah, lol. People are racist or purposely being obtuse.
Drove through Arkansas around New Year’s and it gave me a similar vibe of this video. The end was sweet though tbh.
I hate when racist bring up Chicago man. It infuriates me so much. They bring it up like they give a s*** about what’s going on there but they’ll most likely celebrate if those people wiped themselves out. So sad.
Chicago is the go to for them
They think white people just stay inside and it’s just a war zone outside

Yea I been saying it shouldve been Black Lives Matter Too for years
Y'all really have patience for these cacs? Talking about changing the phrase lmao.. absolutely not.
I am speechless.
People are idiots, but this still hurt to watch.
Exerting all that energy to be wrong and hateful instead of simply ignoring it if you don't agree with it...but I won't lie alot of these drive by slurs and hate actually made me laugh what the f*** is wrong with these people
"Fuck black lives! And I have black friends!"
There might be a hand full of black people living in Harrison, Arkansas and they don't stay long.
