I hear what you’re saying. You’re referring to black on black crime which is also an issue just as white on white crime is. It's an interesting topic if you really get into it. There are economic and social disparities in all communities which cause poverty and thus crime. Just because one movement isn’t currently focusing on one issue doesn’t mean others are not important. As I previously stated, if you truly believe all lives matter, then you have to believe in fighting for the good of everyone. You're acknowledging that there are issues that need to be worked on. This current movement might not be for you, but if intracommunal crimes are a passion of yours, then I highly encourage you to research local groups and get involved. We all have to choose if we either want to bridge the gap and work together towards a solution or hunker down on opposite sides and be stubborn. Name calling and trying to put people in left or right categories only hinders progress. Instead of assuming someone is for one thing or another try to have a discussion about it first.

No offence taken and by no means am I saying you or anyone one here is purporting to be one way or another. I agree with the use of hobbies and as a modding community everyone is free to use what they want in their games. My original comment was to provide information in response to the comment made by @LukeDaus. For those that don't want to use this file, all you gotta do is head on to the next file out there. Personally, I probably would've kept on to the next file myself, but comments like that are going to start conversations and sometimes arguments as seen above. The file itself being posted started a conversation. The comments sections probably isn't the best platform for this conversation, but at the same time I didn't start it. I agree the media blows things out of proportion. That's why conversations between everyday people like you and me are way more effective.

Of course all lives matter. No doubt that's a true statement. However, you're completely missing the target of what the Black Lives Matter movement represents. That phrase is in no way meant to exclude or belittle anyone. I'm sorry if you've read that or heard that it does elsewhere, but that source of information is incorrect. The purpose of the phrase and the movement is to emphasize violence and systemic racism. You might think they should've picked a better name that isn't so provocative. Most movements throughout history had something provocative about them to cause discourse. It's a necessary part in order to open up a pathway for everyone to talk. Please by no means continue to believe that Black Lives Matter has something to do with black lives being more important than any other race, age, sexuality, ethnicity, or gender. That notion is unfortunately wrong and a distraction to the true purpose. All lives do matter. If you truly believe that, then you have to believe that we all are created equally and that we all should fight against social injustices.
