About BLM

[John 6IX Breezy]

If they really believed that ‘all lives matter’, they should have no problem with ‘black lives matter.’ 

But that’s not what they mean.

I think most people, at least initially, used both Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter as propositions. These phrases eventually developed opposing connotations and even organizations behind them.

There is no doubt in my mind that there are still individuals who sincerely use these phrases as propositions. We shouldn't initially assume that a person saying black lives matter is endorsing the values of some organization; and we shouldn't initially assume that a person saying all lives matter is endorsing some racist agenda. I think the benefit of the doubt should always be given until there is evidence to the contrary.
