> Otherwise you would not single out a single group as more deserving of life than others. It doesn't say "Black lives matter more than others." Everyone who understands why it's "Black Lives Matter!" instead of "All Lives Matter!" also understands why you think it should be "All Lives Matter!", we just disagree. There's no subtlety to your point, it's blunt and easy to understand. The difference is, people who think it should be "All Lives Matter!" don't understand why we think it should be "Black Lives Matter!". There's a nuanced point that you don't seem to understand. When you suggest that we're saying black lives matter more than any other lives, you make it clear that you don't get it. This is fine, if you stop misrepresenting the intentions of others they might be willing to explain it to you. Edit: And by the way, you don't have to agree with it the nuanced point in order to understand it. So Zuck insisting people not cross out "Black Lives Matter" is not him pushing that as an agenda -- it's just him showing an understanding that "Black Lives Matter!" is not the same as "White Power!" |

Really? Didn't this slogan arise in the context of a black life trying to kill, or at least harm, another life? How can they possibly defend such a person? And to make him the center of this saying?
It's very clear they mean "Black life matters more than other life." If they meant anything else they would not defend attempted murderers and thugs.
