Baby, Black Lives Matter is a fact. Your intolerance or discomfort to that is irrelevant. Get comfortable that human being exist equally and perhaps the name will make sense.

It hurts to grow and think for yourself, break it down in to little pieces until you can grasp why you prefer a different name. Really take it in. Black Lives Matter. It’s not a phrase saying any other life does not.

Hey did you hear…while millions across the country and across the globe support and understand the Black Lives Matter movement it’s some cyber-antagonists who take issue with the name.

If all of the people who would support "All Lives Matter" get together and successfully address police brutality for "all lives" -- then black people will no longer have an issue with police brutality and BLM can disband because there will be no more work to do. Win-Win.

There’s just so much ignorance in the world. Can we please stop with any example that suggests racism is a singular, individualized act? It is an incredibly deep-seeded, socialized, and pervasive element of our society that will never be “fixed” as long as *any* race claims to be color blind, but especially white people as part of the dominant racial group in America. This is bigger than any one person’s experience as an individual (or the tone deaf and entirely unproductive “examples” of white people getting shot by cops).

Can you give an example of a place in the world that is multi-racial and multi-cultural where there isn't racism? People call out America, but that is the one place in the world where we support the continuous evolution of our population into a place that is probably the most diverse in world history. The dominant racial group (and people who are alive right now) has passed Civil Rights legislation, supported a "Great Society" where trillions have been spent to try to address generational poverty, created affirmative action, gave up spots in universities and companies for POC, passed immigration reform in the 60s that has massively contributed to the "browning" of America, not only looks the other way as millions of undocumented people from around the world come here, but provides them with billions in benefits each year, and watched as the national history has been remade into a story that focuses solely on slavery and the civil rights movement, etc. If the "dominant racial group" were really so racist, would they have done any of those things willingly?

I think most people are willing to try to do the things that will make a harmonious society, but after doing all of the above, I do think many are perplexed when folks continually talk about systemic oppression. What exactly, do people expect to see?

What do you mean remade? These things are important defining events in American history and gets appropriate attention. Are you mad we talk about these things?

No, but most textbooks now focus on oppression and “America’s sins” rather than also recognizing that personal freedom emerged here, and telling some stories outside the focus on 10% of the population.

There’s a new invention called Google. Use it.

Why a new name,

The T shirts looked great at OC Md in the board walk stores.

I saw a lot of Black Lives Matter t shirts and also saw
a lot of I Can't Breathe t shirts for sale at the boardwalk.
