All Lives Matter

RE: All Lives Matter
It also doesn't say "only" black lives matter, and yet you seem to have an easy enough time adding that onto it. Why can't it work out as easily the other way around?

I suppose I could ask the same of people who become upset in regards to the phrase "God Blesses America".

Certainly, those in other countries who believe in God would see that as a slight on theistic belief.

Here's a thought: maybe you're reading too much into that one as well.

I am awake.

I agree that black lives matter just as much as any other life.

However, it is the slogan itself that is the problem.

So you're okay with someone telling you that black lives matter, but you aren't okay with the same exact words in the same exact order being used as a slogan? That somehow changes the meaning of the words to you? You're making no sense now.

No.

The slogan itself is the problem.

If a Christian who thought Christians were being persecuted in America started the slogan "Christian Lives Matter", would you think that was inclusive of all lives?

Christian lives do matter, though. If Christians were being persecuted, that would make a fine slogan.

Did the "Save the Whales" slogan really mean "fuck all aquatic life except whales"?

Yep.

It should have said, "Save all aquatic life".
