One group uses words, the other uses violence.

Viral video star of the “social experiment” Joey Salads took his antics to the streets to document the different reactions of the public to seeing a “Black Lives Matter” sign and an “All Lives Matter” sign.
First, he went to what he called a white neighborhood and held the Black Lives Matter sign outside a strip mall, recording people’s reactions as they walked by. Most said they support it but would rather the sign say “All Lives Matter.”
“I don’t think that it’s bad that it says ‘Black Lives Matter,’ but when you separate a culture, a people, as its own, it’s harder to come together as a group,” one man said.
An older woman stopped and said, “Lives of the world matter.”
Salads draws his conclusion:
“They may not support the cause, but they’re not getting aggressive… They don’t want to support them because it’s segregating black people into its own specific group… Don’t segregate yourselves into groups, everyone, we’re all people. All lives matter, that’s what I got from this right now.”
Then Salads heads to a black neighborhood holding an “All Lives Matter” sign and the reactions he records are quite different; immediate violence, from having the sign tossed to the ground to threats of “Get the f*** out of here.”
Two men pull off their shirts and try to fight Salads. “What are you saying? Black lives don’t matter?” they complained. “F*** all lives. Black lives!”
One guy approached Salads very aggressively, slapped down the sign, pushed Salads and tried to kick him. He came back later in a full sprint and took down a crew member and chased Salads down the road.
In the most telling moment, a man approached Salads and warned him that he’s in danger if he sticks around.
“You shouldn’t be out here with that sign,” he was told. “It’s crazy out here. They see that sign, boy, that’s going to be a problem. You should get out of here, bro. If you don’t leave, there’s going to be trouble.”
Salads concludes:
“As you can see, black people got really emotional when I held up an ‘All Lives Matter’ sign, and in white neighborhoods, people didn’t care that much that I held up a ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign.”
BLM continues to prove its core message is violence and racism. This is the weed that has grown up during the administration of America's first black president. It's never enough for the Left.
