[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people who feel that way are those who oppose the movement itself, and those people will continue to find excuses to oppose it no matter what it’s called.[/quote]

No, 100% support the movement but agree the name makes many people feel like others are not as important.[/quote]

The people who feel that way *want* to feel that way -- they want to find a reason not to support the movement.  It's obvious that the phrase means "black lives matter, too," not "only black lives matter."  There are exactly zero people who would support the movement if only they had a different name.  [/quote

Actually this is correct. [b]If I recall the story of the woman who coined the phrase it originally was:

Black Lives Matter, Too[/b]

As a black person I think whatever the name is white people will continue to do mental gymnastics to avoid supporting black people so IMO this is a worthless discussion. Either you support the human rights of your fellow black Americans or you don't.

We would be a lot better off if white folks would think about their internal, mental gymnastics. These threads are full of them. I heard someone say racism is like smog, we all breathe it in. Just sit in that for a moment for goodness sake. [/quote]

Do you know why it was shortened? I think that would have been an even more successful name. Having said that, I don't think they should or will change it at this point.[/quote]
