Or, perhaps, "Save Only the Whales":

So what do you say when you are upset about the death of a white person?

Or when someone pollutes the ocean? Save the Rain Forest?

You and I both know that you can't say "White Lives Matter".

So I guess we just say "what a shame" and move on.

Oh the complaints of the wealthy, white and privileged.  We are lost, we are lost...  [To black servant:] Get me another martini, with two olives.

Maddog, there's no reason not to protest police brutality whenever it happens, no matter the skin color of the victim, and even if the victim didn't die!

This is a narrow issue -- the fact that a disproportionately high number of black people are being killed by police. People wish to call attention to it and have it addressed, as is their right. And I really don't think it's anybody's business to tell them they shouldn't say it, any more than I don't think we should tell the lockdown protesters to stop, stupid as I think their agenda is.

A high disproportionate amount of black people are committing crime and then kicking off and resisting arrest rather than being compliant and doing what the police tell them to do...


And while any of them dying (while being restrained and cuffed) is NOT the intent of police, who are just trying to bring the situation under control, the risk of dying is higher as a consequence of the restraint techniques being used...

So success would be getting the number of people killed more proportionate with the demographics?

Maybe a quota system for killing?

And I dont care if people want to only protest the deaths of members of a certain race. Just dont expect me to look at them as noble and brave.
