[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not divisive; the point of that slogan is not ONLY Black Lives Matter, it's that Black Lives Matter ALSO. (I am white, it's just not that hard to grasp this concept.) If you're not sure why anyone would feel the need to remind society at large that Black lives also matter, try reading some news, history, or sociology. However. It would have been insane to fight on this point and risk the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars of federal transportation funding. So I'm glad the District is backing down in advance from a confrontation that would have ended badly and not have been worth the battle.[/quote] Can the blacks not spell “also”? How about “too”? Too long? They figured out “matter”, not sure why they lost it at “too”. Was that not included in the house girls dictionary? [/quote] If people are too stupid to understand what it clearly means, I don't think one more word will help them.[/quote] It clearly means black people who commit crimes should get a pass; police should not enforce laws when the lawbreakers are black because they sometimes resist and lose that fight. When white lawbreakers resist arrest and suffer, where are the cries of "white lives matter"? That would be equally stupid. Or, how about making it generic - all lawbreaker lives matter? Don't break the law and, if you do, don't resist the police. That'd be a better, non-discriminatory, racially neutral slogan. [/quote]
