WHOOSH

That's the point! "Black Lives Matter" means something different.

No no, you misunderstand. It doesn't mean the same thing as you imply with your previous comment.

Writing is contextual, if one only looks at the literal then one misses the other half of the meaning. Unfortunately your proposed change has added context that undermine your honourable and well-intentioned message.

As does your original text. Congrats, you made my point for me.

Sorry, I don’t know what you mean.
