One sign simply read “14 words,” a reference to the white supremacist motto: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
What exactly is supremacist about securing the existence of your people and a future for your children? Don’t all groups want to do this? Isn’t this what Judaism, for example, is about?
I converted to Orthodox Judaism. I believe in Orthodox Judaism. I believe that the Jews are God’s Chosen People and that God gave his Torah to the Jews. Is this Jewish supremacism? If not, why not?
Every group thinks of itself as supreme but only whites get demonized for it.
Some White Lives Matter supporters, however, suggested the movement was a tit-for-tat response.
“Very few blacks were on board with All Lives Matter, so we are doing our own thing now,” wrote one on Twitter. “White Lives Matter.”
“We expect every race to be proud of who they are,” Reed said on Fox26. “We’re out there fighting for our rights just like everyone should.”
Many portrayed White Lives Matter and Black Lives Matter as equivalents.
“Black Lives Matter is allowed. Why not White Lives Matter?” wrote one. “It’s either both of them or none of them. Pick one.”
