Something in your post tells me you shouldn’t be in charge of slogans.

What about “ALL Lives Matter”?

Until Black lives matter, it is clear that all lives don’t matter. We wrote “All men are created equal.” But we actually didn’t mean black folks. We recited “Freedom and justice for all”, when we clearly didn’t mean black folks. The US has a bad track record with including black folks when it says ALL.

Black lives matter, too. As in also. They all matter. They are not being treated as if they matter. They are being extinguished at an alarming rate, incarcerated at a disproportionate rate, and targeted no matter eduction, neighborhood, or circumstances. So think about it not as “only” but as “also” and since Black Lives Matter Also, we must ALL act to make sure they are treated in that manner.

It is not exclusive. It is begging to be even slightly included.

We also have a bad track record with hispanics/latino, asian, jews, gay and lesbian, native americans and other groups. But, hey, they don't matter as they aren't as vocal and will not resort to looting, rioting and violence.


Who said they don’t matter? You should start a movement to show they matter. BLM is representing Black people. Now go ahead and do HLM, ALM, GLLM, NALM, OGLM. If you are actually upset then get off your a** and start a movement.

It doesn’t come across that way unless you are ignorant of why the movement was formed. How often are the cops killing unarmed white menor Asian women and getting away with it?


You should do some research. You might be surprised. I know the mainstream media makes it seem like ONLY blacks people are killed by the police, but that is certainly not the case.


Okay, educate us please. What are the names of a few white men murdered by the police? For simplicity, let’s limit it to 2020. Anyone?



It took me very little time to find an unarmed white man named Tyler Hays who was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Tennessee on May 19. It didn’t even make national news, however.

Look, I am not arguing that black oriole don’t get killed by police at a higher rate as a percentage of the population. That’s a fact. But for you to mock this and minimize that ALL races are at some point affected by police brutality doesn’t enamor others to your cause.


Well, I see no one cared to address this.


Well why haven’t you addressed this? Why aren’t you out there protesting this murder? Go out and educate. Start your movement.

That's exactly the intention. Why would you think otherwise?

Only to fragile white people. To others, it means "black lives ALSO matter."

The only way you will get white and Asian buy-in is with ALL. Otherwise BLM will continue to be seen as a cop-hating fringe group that gives criminals a pass.

How? Get out of here. Is the name Black Lives Matter or Only Black Lives Matter? If you don’t support than don’t support. Stop looking for “reasons”
To justify it.

I'm not buying into a movement that preaches violence and the leaders are not condoning bad behavior and teaching peaceful protesting like MLK and other great leaders did. This is just a sh#t show. And, the BLM movement doesn't value black lives as they are letting black people dye during this, black businesses being destroyed and black officers killed. They are far worse than the police with their violence. How many people have been injured, killed or lost their property or business because of this?

Lies. Go to their pages. They are actually stating that they are a peaceful group.
