However, when someone creates the slogan that "Black Lives Matter", it seems to me those making the statement think only black lives matter.
To make a relatively simple comparison:
Those who state "God bless America" think God only blesses America, when in fact wouldn't God bless the world?
Therefore, it is not just that black lives matter. In fact, all lives matter.
The BLM movement arose because of a number of shootings of unarmed black people. Clearly they meant that "Black lives matter... Also"
Given the origin of the movement, hearing "Only... Black lives matter" is just incorrect. But, I think it speaks to more than just being mistaken. There is a lack of empathy on display by those who reply to BLM with "All lives matter"
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
