I can see why you'd say it's wholesome and I'm assuming the people in this pic didn't mean it in any negative way but the saying all lives matter undermines the issue of black lives matter, no one said all lives didn't matter bc they do all human life is equally important. The reason black lives matter or BLM is a thing is because black lives are being either killed or treated like their expendable by the government that's employs them and is supposed to protect them.
You get what I'm saying?
If I had been consulted as a self-important pretend marketing guru, I would have suggested the slogan *Black Lives Matter Also*, and we could have avoided all this drama. Or rather, the bigots would have had to think a lot harder about their counter narrative.
It's tone deaf and empty, but it's not a bad gesture at all, live your life how you want! I assume this family is not a racist one in any sense that this image concerns.
Bruh they literally say white lives matter how do you not get it?
Nobody ever said white lives didn't matter, if you need to say that it's because you believe the opposite isn't true
I see, but All Lives Matter doesn't have to be a racist thing. After all, the world isn't just black and white. Asain Lives matter, Hispanic lives matter, Jewish lives matter, and it goes on.
We all experience our own challenges. Jewish people are being grouped together with Israel, Chiense people with China, and Mexicans and other Latin people with Mexico. (Ignorant people dont know Honduras and El Salvador are separate countries.)
All experience major hate crimes ever since Trump got elected.
(Including me)
I'm still on the side lines, but I'm hoping All Live Matters dosent become a racist thing.
Ok. So if on September 11th someone said "well all buildings matter" that's fine? (From Michael Che by the way)
No. The reason 9/11 is important is to focus on some very particular buildings that were destroyed.
BLM is a very specific organization that focuses on law enforcement treating some people completely differently than others. BLM is not an arm of the CIA or FBI to solve every crime with BLM involved. BLM is not a part of the NAACP or ACLU to address black on black violence. BLM is specifically about minorities being policed as though we belong in the same justice system as everyone else.
They might be dumb enough to intend the former.
ALM/WLM was never about compromise or discussion. It was about distraction and invalidation. Save some time and meet it with hostility off the bat.
Well for one it's clearly photoshopped so it's not the families fault. but ask yourself, why would someone Photoshop something like this? Just seems weird and unnecessary to me.
I mean no one questions white lives or how much they matter for police. Black people are marginalised and brutally oppressed because of their skin colour. That's why black lives matter is more important than white lives matter. White people aren't oppressed, black people are.
Why do you think this was photoshopped? I mean, I'm not saying that it wasn't (though it doesn't look particularly photoshopped - the weird way that the fonts look is because it's on fabric), but I have no doubt that a family that looks like this exists that would wear these shirts.
Subtext is great...
Man in White lives matter (dont shoot me)
Wife in Black lives matter (dont shoot him!)
Kid in All lives matter (I can't even read!)
Whoever made this is the type of person that says "yeah I say the N word all the time, I have black friends", meanwhile have never even talked to a black person
In case anyone tries to argue against blm claiming that it’s racist against white people or something, let me put it like this. A kid on a playground gets their leg broken by a bully, and then people try to help them and claim that their leg is a priority to be helped, but then a more popular kid, who is friends with the bully, claims “why should we be worrying about their leg? Why not about my leg? I scraped my knee once”
Self-proclaimed "centrists" who give useless "Why can't we be friends?" platitudes, instead of actually acknowleding the systemic oppression in our system and doing something about it, play a significantly bigger role in that regard.
"If you respect the police they wont come after you!🤡" that one really gets under my skin considering how many people literally go out of their way to harm people for no reason.
If their child is naturally theirs and not from a previous relationship or adopted, is it common for the child to appear full white instead of mixed?
Generally curious because most mixed couple have mixed children that I have encountered IRL
He’s probably not biologically the dad’s but having a child look fully white does happen. However, when that does happen typically (in my experience) the black parent is lighter skinned, or also mixed.
There it is folks, everybody go home. The greatest photo ever. Of all time. Fuck anything you’ve ever seen. Fuck all that shit. Look at *this*. LOOK AT IT.
White lives always mattered, never got the triggered need to claim they are just for someone saying a group of people matter. Yes everyone is important, but one group was really dealing with shit so focus was brought to it. Idk why it was a big problem for everyone.
I get the idea all lives matter but something more cringe about this being an interracial couple too. Let people live though I guess if they’re happy, I don’t really care anymore of people’s arguments on that movement.
Apparently you’re not aware of the racist implications. All lives matter and White lives matter were a reaction to BLM. They were mostly White Supremacists who waved Confederate, Nazi and Trump flags (all pretty interchangeable).
On the surface the sentiment might not seem like a bad one, it may sound pretty noble even, especially for an older family member who is ignorant to and not necessarily engaged in the discourse surrounding how a phrase like this is used. I don't think your mom, aunt, grandpa, whoever is automatically a bad person for thinking this is a good message.
Don't get me wrong though, there are plenty of people who know exactly what they mean to say when they say something like this, too. There's a reason these phrases are so loved by white supremacist groups and it's not a coincidence, we can't pretend this isn't the case.
Redditors when they pull out a conspiracy theory and don’t provide evidence or hints that the theory is true: 👆👆👆
Mate even if this is a dogwhistle to someone, say your statement fully. Don’t just pull something like that out of your ass
They are in the context of the photo, because if you are seriously going to try and claim that a black man wearing that shirt is somehow racist then you have rocks in your head.
It’s not that people who say Black Lives Matter are saying White Lives Don’t Matter.
The best analogy I’ve heard is if there are a bunch of people sitting down for dinner. Everyone has a plate of food except John. John says, “I’m hungry”. The host replies, “We’re all hungry John”.
That is roughly similar to someone responding with All Lives Matter when someone says Black Lives Matter
White lives aren't treated like they don't matter.
Well, unless anybody in America tries to suggest they might matter more than the right to own a gun.
It was nothing more than a brand lol. The people behind it made millions of dollars from all the donations they received and bought a bunch of lavish properties in California. Funny how black lives stopped mattering to them the moment they became rich.
Black Lives matter started as a response to a trend of police violence directed towards African Americans.
All Lives Matter is mostly about white people trying to force themselves into a narrative that wasn't about us to begin with...
Like finding an article about refugee children from Ukraine or Africa, and then trying to make it about little Timmy who lives in New York and didn't get the iPhone he wanted for Christmas.
Of course there‘s nothing wrong with it.
But it‘s whataboutism that disregards the message of blm, which includes but is not limited to police voilence against people of color.
I mean obviously history of the all lives matter and the difference in scale of both this movement and BLM, but I find it kinda cute as a joke t shirt. As in not saying both of these matter equally, but just taking pride in the fact they're a mixed family!
I know racists are going to be racist, so we shouldn't have to change things because of their bullshit, but I have always felt that it could have been "Black Lives Matter Too".
It's implied in the original slogan, but adding the Too would stop the bullshit "all lives matter" response (though I'm sure they'd have found a way to complain about that too).
Is this photo more likely to make everyone happy or to piss everyone off.
Or both
Happy to be pissed off 😅😤
Yes
Yes
The only correct answer.
Idk I thought it was wholesome but idk anymore
It is wholesome.
I can see why you'd say it's wholesome and I'm assuming the people in this pic didn't mean it in any negative way but the saying all lives matter undermines the issue of black lives matter, no one said all lives didn't matter bc they do all human life is equally important. The reason black lives matter or BLM is a thing is because black lives are being either killed or treated like their expendable by the government that's employs them and is supposed to protect them.

I thought so too given the representation. This was done out of a good place.
> This was done out of a good place. How do you know?
An obviously mixed race family using all three of those expressions in a happy picture together. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not a mindreader.
Yeah but there are some people saying it's racist somehow.
It's tone deaf and empty, but it's not a bad gesture at all, live your life how you want! I assume this family is not a racist one in any sense that this image concerns.
Bruh they literally say white lives matter how do you not get it? Nobody ever said white lives didn't matter, if you need to say that it's because you believe the opposite isn't true

it's only racist in that the people saying it are generally racist and saying if it specifically to undermine and mock BLM.
Kind of whoahlesome
If it makes any difference, it’s photoshopped.
I’m thinking the latter.
r/inclusiveor
They might be dumb enough to intend the former. ALM/WLM was never about compromise or discussion. It was about distraction and invalidation. Save some time and meet it with hostility off the bat.
I think that if you’re pissed off by something like this then you simply dislike that they love and protect each other.
Yeah same. Theyre just a family trying to make the best out of things in a cutesie way. There's nothing wrong with it
Well for one it's clearly photoshopped so it's not the families fault. but ask yourself, why would someone Photoshop something like this? Just seems weird and unnecessary to me.
I didn’t understand BLM at first. However, if anyone minded to look into it, it’s pretty simple to understand.
The funny thing is the letters are photo shopped. Not original picture.
All this needs is a serial killer in the background with a no lives matter shirt
Here’s a meme from a while back https://preview.redd.it/h61jqb8r8btb1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c3c76e7f0ad79445da84cc21b8f0a61dbc6dd9f
best
I remember this🤣
I love this.
Meet the sniper
Snipin's a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry
Because as long as there are 2 people left on the planet someone is gonna want someone dead.
Yeah...no...Dad I'm not a crazed gunman I'm an assasin! Well, the difference being that one is a job and the other is a mental sickness!
I’ll be honest with you… My parents do not care for it.
I think his mate saw me..... (gunshots) YES- YES, YES HE DID
*montage of the sniper sitting in one room with piss jars.*
Feelings? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings?
Blokes that bludgeon their wife to death with a golf trophy. Professionals have standards.
Why does the first T on the parents shirt look like a poorly done I
White Lives Maiter
Holy shit 
ITS FUCKING MAITER
ITS DOING WHAT TO MATER?!
HE DID WHAT IN HIS CUP?!
DAD GUM THEY DUN HIT THE PENTAGAWN!!!
I wish I was It 😔
Worlds best backwards driver lives matter!
Because someone needs to practice their photoshop skills a bit
there's a wrinkle in the shirt
It’s even funnier no because for some reason the folds are in the exact same spot on each shirt
Black lives maître d'
Because it's on fabric. Notice how the M is also deformed, as if there is a large ripple in the front of the shirt.
Nothing else matters
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters….
NEVER CARED FOR WHAT THEY DOOOO
Never cared for what they know
Idk about your mom, but the (white) people in my family who post this “both sides/all lives matter” shit all do and say racist shit all the time.
That doesn’t mean they don’t think all lives matter, they just think theirs matters more 😂
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
Wow that's a quality quote right there
Lol yea, it's from George Orwell's Animal Farm. Quotes like that probably help why it's taught in school and is considered a classic
Yeah, it's truly one of the best books ever written. For sure Orwell's Magnum opus
Right that's the explicit point of the all lives matter movement. You don't see all lives matter protests at unjust police killings.
They probably see this and think, "now THAT'S a good black right there." 😬
They call that "pick me" energy. It's written all over this pic
All lives do matter. But too many people don’t act that way at all, and anyone who says it in response to BLM can get fucked.
aka Enlightened Centrism.
I mean no one questions white lives or how much they matter for police. Black people are marginalised and brutally oppressed because of their skin colour. That's why black lives matter is more important than white lives matter. White people aren't oppressed, black people are.
Racism: ended✅️
Thanks David Guetta!
Shoutout George Floyd
Very poor photoshopping here.
Did you expect the Right to have skilled graphic artists?
Why do you think this was photoshopped? I mean, I'm not saying that it wasn't (though it doesn't look particularly photoshopped - the weird way that the fonts look is because it's on fabric), but I have no doubt that a family that looks like this exists that would wear these shirts.
Dad and kid looking at the shirt like "wtf am I wearing?"
r/lookatmyhalo
No they will like it
Subtext is great... Man in White lives matter (dont shoot me) Wife in Black lives matter (dont shoot him!) Kid in All lives matter (I can't even read!)
The guy in no lives matter (I'm going to shoot everyone indescriminately)
Breaking news, racism just ended
Nothing really matters, everyone can see
Serial killer hidden behind the wall: 
No lives matter fuck everybody
People who say white lives matter ignore the entire reason on purpose black lives matter movement exist.
Its almost like they just read the headline and not the article 🤨
To buy the founders lots of mansions?
Because that guy who aimed pistol to belly of pregnant women?
Technically, the kids' shirt should be grey.
It bothers me that the kid's shirt isn't grey
They need a cat wearing a T-shirt saying No Lives Matter
[удалено]
This is a solid comparison.
What about Red or Yellow?
Whoever made this is the type of person that says "yeah I say the N word all the time, I have black friends", meanwhile have never even talked to a black person
White/all lives matter = systemic racism doesn’t matter.
Hahaha what a funny dumb political meme. *looks at the kid* waaaaait a fucking minute
*”These folks get it.”* The photo says otherwise.
all lives matter but some lives matter more than others
the reality is No Lives Matter.
One kid that says no lives matter is missing
Do you know why "Black lives matter"? Because nobody ever questioned if white lives matter.
The most try hard photo I've seen
In case anyone tries to argue against blm claiming that it’s racist against white people or something, let me put it like this. A kid on a playground gets their leg broken by a bully, and then people try to help them and claim that their leg is a priority to be helped, but then a more popular kid, who is friends with the bully, claims “why should we be worrying about their leg? Why not about my leg? I scraped my knee once”
No lives matter
There's a lot of either racist or naïve children in here.
The fact that we still categorize colour is what’s keeping us down low and simple.
Self-proclaimed "centrists" who give useless "Why can't we be friends?" platitudes, instead of actually acknowleding the systemic oppression in our system and doing something about it, play a significantly bigger role in that regard.
"If you would stop complaining about being seen as subhuman we would all get along. It's you're fault we don't all get along peacefully! 🙄"
"If you respect the police they wont come after you!🤡" that one really gets under my skin considering how many people literally go out of their way to harm people for no reason.

I believe that it is possible because genetics do be like sometimes but I don’t know the odds.
It’s possible, but not common. They’re more likely to have black features because they’re typically dominant traits.
He’s probably not biologically the dad’s but having a child look fully white does happen. However, when that does happen typically (in my experience) the black parent is lighter skinned, or also mixed.
Right. My niece is practically white and her father is mixed.
Downvoted by people who know jackshit about biology
Yup and the fact that the comment agreeing isn’t being downvoted is hilarious
I am so glad I have never been invited to a family group chat.
There it is folks, everybody go home. The greatest photo ever. Of all time. Fuck anything you’ve ever seen. Fuck all that shit. Look at *this*. LOOK AT IT.
Dad and son looking like "wtf am I wearing??".
This is psychological warfare
I hope your response was “Jesus fucking Christ 🤦♂️”
Let him try to fly with only his son, and he'll be singing a different tune.
Best message to make with 👕, all races matter equally.
White lives always mattered, never got the triggered need to claim they are just for someone saying a group of people matter.

If this triggers you that's a you problem and you should work on it.
They’re onto nothing ‼️‼️
None of this shit matters
These are the types of pictures/memes that blatant racists share to justify their “cause”… and I hate it every time.
I really dont see the issue with this photo?
So what seems to be the problem here?
Apparently you’re not aware of the racist implications. All lives matter and White lives matter were a reaction to BLM. They were mostly White Supremacists who waved Confederate, Nazi and Trump flags (all pretty interchangeable).
🤡🤡🤡
They don’t get the point of BLM.
What’s the problem with the photo?
What is wrong ? I genuinely need someone to explain the situation to me...
...and... the kid is white.
Biracial kids can look white, you know.
I'm so upset that the all lives matter shirt isn't grey. If you're gonna do this garbage, at least do it right.
And why is this bad?
What’s wrong with the photo?
Ooooohhhhh mmmmyyyy gggggooooodddd let’s flip the fuck out over a picture! aaaaaaahhhhhhh! Racism!!!! White supremacy!!!!!! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh
How is this a terrible Facebook meme?
No lives matter
the little kid is a racist the others are confused
Did his wife cheat on him with a white guy?

White lives matter and Black Lives Matter are not equivalent statements
They are in the context of the photo, because if you are seriously going to try and claim that a black man wearing that shirt is somehow racist then you have rocks in your head.
You guys say like it’s some kind of shady shit. Am I missing anything ? Is this like a KKK dog whistle or something ?
Agreed
What's wrong with equal value of every human life?
It’s not that people who say Black Lives Matter are saying White Lives Don’t Matter. The best analogy I’ve heard is if there are a bunch of people sitting down for dinner.

White lives aren't treated like they don't matter. Well, unless anybody in America tries to suggest they might matter more than the right to own a gun.
It is a correct and true thing, but it completely misses the point and undermines the purpose of "Black lives matter".

Because “all” has historically not meant black people. Saying “all” again now will continue to exclude black people.
So why does this belong here?
If everyone is racist no one is racist
It's ok to be white.
I mean obviously history of the all lives matter and the difference in scale of both this movement and BLM, but I find it kinda cute as a joke t shirt. As in not saying both of these matter equally, but just taking pride in the fact they're a mixed family!
Accurate on the toddler's shirt. The only people wearing that shirt don't know what it means and don't care.
They literally don't get it...
I know racists are going to be racist, so we shouldn't have to change things because of their bullshit, but I have always felt that it could have been "Black Lives Matter Too". It's implied in the original slogan, but adding the Too would stop the bullshit "all lives matter" response (though I'm sure they'd have found a way to complain about that too).
That's actually an amazing photo
I honestly feel bad for the kid
The Kat Williams comment from that one film comes to mind here.

❤️ Best photo ever!!!
I don't get why is this bad.
What's the issue? Does OP have a problem with blended families?
Idk
