The ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement has met a lot of resistance from many who shout back, “All lives matter!” Context is important. History is important. Here is why ‘Black Lives Matter’ is important. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.


Over the course of its existence, Black Lives Matter has become a polarizing and often contentious political movement. Opponents accuse it of fomenting violence and being anti-police. Supporters say it’s a long-overdue reaction to disparate treatment of black people by law enforcement.

2. Yes, they have and will. Reactions are responses.

Even bad reactions. If indifference and silence were the response, then we'd know there had been no advance.

4. Cenk Uygur needs to get over himself

He is a pompous windbag who can never acknowledge being wrong about anything.

7. good point about the Second Amendment

We have a right to guns, so they blather on, so everyone has a right to a gun and why should any police officer be surprised or alarmed at patriotic citizens exercising their rights?
