3 things that stood out to me from this article is 1: people were asking, 11/12/2015 01:46:37 pm
The first thing that stood out to me in this article was when I read the part "why can't African Americans address the crime problems in their own neighborhoods". When I read that comment I had to stop for a minute, because I bet whoever said that, have not thought about the fact that these crimes that go on, are mostly caused by the white community. So why would we protest and exploit our anger in our own neighborhoods, where the community that is mostly responsible, can't hear us? Even so, crime is crime and the whoever feels the need to address the crime, should be able to speak their mind WHEREVER they please.

3 things that stood out to in the article are. 1.how black on black crime is not all that they where about.that keeps US together how they also were about if the whites kill us to. How people if whites kill us they get away with it but if. Blacks do it they get life in jail. But why do they have to do that to us. 2. That the movement is world wide. All different types of people are in it. Also celebrates many of them they play a big part in it. 3. How we kids have a big part in it to. We have a voice and a chance to be heard. We have a chance to find a way to fix things. Have a way to see what really goes on in the blacklivesmattermovement.

The three things that stood out to me about this article is black lives really do matter . This is what I mean by people are being real serious and giving and extra hand majority of the black African Americans are understanding that their life's could be put in danger . Just by the color of our skin we stand out different black lives matter movement is starting a lot of controversy . People in a different race want to say white lives matter or all lives matter when really nothing is going on with there race .

The first thing that stood out to me about black lives matter article is when they said do black lives matter more then white lives . That is not true but so much is happen are black people lives . So that is what we are trying to say that us black people lives matter also . Second when they sayed this is because of black on black crimes . I do not think black on black crime is right because you should not be trying to fight someone that is just like you ! Third when they sayed this all started when treyvon Martin shot . They are right this is where it all started . This movement is trying to help my future because with this going on they are trying to stop all of the crimes so that from here on out this do not happen . I feel that this is a good thing because this need to stop now . We need to stop this hate that is going on

The first thing that stood out in the article is, "The movement doesn't care about black-on-black crime." Why doesn't the movement care about the black-on-black crime? The movement gets upset when the white people kill us blacks but they are not trying to reach out and tell the black people that it is not okay. We are killing our own kind which can make us instinct quicker. We should reach out and solve the two major things, the whites killing the blacks and the blacks killing the blacks. We need to come together as a whole and make the world a better place. The second thing that stood out is, "It's a leaderless movement. The Black Lives Matter movement is a leader full movement. Many Americans of all races are enamored with Martin Luther King as a symbol of leadership and what real movements look like." I agree with this quote but not all leaders achieve there movement. So don't stand out and others don't know about the movement. The last quote that stood out is, "The movement has no respect for elders. Certainly there have been schisms and battle between younger and older move about tactics and strategies." I think that the older movement should at least see where the younger movement is try to achieve. I think that the younger movement should also work with the older movement to see where they are coming from. By them working together they can make things ten times stronger and they can achieve their goals one at a time. This movement impact my future by determining if I will live long to achieve my goal. Will I be treated fair or unfair based on my color or will I be able to achieve my dreams with no difficulty? I think this a good movement because this shows that the founders of the movement is trying to do something to improve our community. Also solve all the problems in the black community. The number one question is will the movements achieve their goals before its to late?

The very first thing that stood out to me in the article is that when it said "ninety three percent of black murder victims are killed by other black people". This stood out to me because it's true, blacks steady to say black lives matter when we kill our own. So do black lives really matter to black people? I really don't know because black on black crime has a higher percentage than white on black crimes.

The First Thing That Stood Out To Me Was "Since August 2014, More Than 1,030 Protest Actions Have Been Held In The Name Of Black Lives Matters". That Particular Statement Stood Out To Me Because It Let Me Know That I Have People The Same Race Who Is Willing To Fight For My Rights . The Second Thing That Stood Out To Me Was "The Goal Is Freedom And Safety For All Black Lives Is Much Bigger Than One Election ". This Stood Out To Me Because It Let Me Know That People Are Not Just Worried About Who Are Next President Going To Be,They Also Worried About Whether We Are Comfortable And In A Safe Environment . The Third Thing That Stood Out To Me Was "Martin Luther King Being Used As A Symbol Of Leadership". This Really Stood Out To Me Because It Let Me Know That Mr.King Made A Big Impact On People's Lives And He Was And Still Is Worth Looking Up Too. As An Opinion This Movement Impact On My Future Because I Have So Many Goals Ahead Of Me Waiting To Be Achieved And Having This Type Of Movement Going On Can Make Me Humbled To Keep Trying And Doing What I Have To Do . This Movement Also Impacts On My Future Because It Helps Me Build Bright Ideas On Ways That I Can Help Out My People . I Feel That The Black Lives Matter Movement Is Good In A Way Because It Shows That People Of The Same Race Really Care About Eachother And Want To Be Treated Equally . It Is Also A Good Thing Because It Shows That Some People Do Not Fear Stepping Up And Getting What They Deserve . On The Other Hand Though I Feel Its A Bad Thing Because People Lives Can Be Taken Away As They Protest . I Say This Because Once You Have Someone Who Is Against For Something And They See You Trying To Make It Right They Will Do Anything To Stop You And Killing You Is One . Altogether #BlackLivesMatter Is Important To Me .

First thing that stood out to me in the article is that they acknowledge that it was not only black on black crime its also white people killing each other . Black people get heard about more than whites why? Because they have a image that they have to keep so they tried to get rid of it . Also if you ever thought about it on all of the killing TV shows based on real life things white people always killing someone .Second thing that stood out to me is that the BLMM is leaderless its a matter of people coming together when a black life is in danger or if something has happen we all come together and protest TOGETHER . I really think the impact everything will have on me is a positive because it shows me that just by something as negative as a police officer killing another person or child . It could end up bringing a community together to protect others . In my eyes the BLMM is a good thing

The first thing that stood out to me was "Does black lives matter more than white lives?" I actually believe that our lives are just as equal as anyone else's life. Black lives are not getting the justice or equality that we deserve. The #blacklivesmatter movement is not stating that our lives matter more than others, but simply stating that our lives are just as equal as anyone else's.

The first thing that stood out to me was "Do BlackLivesMatter more than white lives ?". In my opinion I feel yes black lives matter more than white lives. I'm not saying this because I'm a Afican-American but because blacks been through more harshfull things that whites have.
