RE: Black Lives Matter OR All Lives Matter
That problem - black or all - is just an misunderstanding of the intention between the people.
As you said, BLM activists are pointing out the oppression. But someone who does not know is - and this is something you need to be told very precisely - will say "huh? All lives matter".
Because saying BLM without the special content IS like saying BLM more. Because of that ALM is not disrespectful, it's disrespectful to say it's disrespectful (if the person does not know the background), because the ALM is more universal and understandable without context.
The Golden Rule applies to all, and not especially to blacks. Same principle.
Well I agree with a lot of what you said but the biggest problem I see when talking to some of my friends and people is that they deny existence of racism or unfair treatment even after showing them all facts and figures and that's why i feel some of them are being ignorant
