Right wingers came up with 'Blue Lives Matter'.

But ya didn't hear them complain much when the Oregon standoff militia called for their 'patriots' to come kill the police.

Not much criticism from the right wing when Cliven Bundy's sniper was sighting in on LEO badges.

Black Lives Matter Too... That extra word "Too" [View all] keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 OP

Sadly some might see that as a distraction or diminution. Seems like a good addition to me. BSdetect Jun 2020 #1

No. It is unnecessary. SoonerPride Jun 2020 #2

Agree. Mike 03 Jun 2020 #3

I agree, too. luvs2sing Jun 2020 #8

Correct n/t malaise Jun 2020 #32

Agreed. Caliman73 Jun 2020 #36

People who pretend not to know what black lives matter means are being intellectually dishonest. Solomon Jun 2020 #81

+1 gollygee Jun 2020 #85

I've always thought this would be a good idea, as well. LuckyCharms Jun 2020 #4

If someone calls 911 and says "my house is on fire!" SoonerPride Jun 2020 #6

I like that analogy n/t Bev54 Jun 2020 #31

If I say MurrayDelph Jun 2020 #49

To those people: mantis49 Jun 2020 #20

At least it would be harder treestar Jun 2020 #35

No it shouldn't. n/t demmiblue Jun 2020 #5

No. This isn't about semantics. It's about purposeful avoidance of the issue. StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #7

"They'll just find some other stupid dodge to avoid the issue." keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #10

No, it doesn't. It just tells BLM to jump around like little kids playing "You're getting WARMER!" StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #14

Sorry that you disagree with yourself. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #17

I will respectfully disagree DeminPennswoods Jun 2020 #45

Ok StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #46

That is what I try to do DeminPennswoods Jun 2020 #47

This isn't even an issue outside of this thread JonLP24 Jun 2020 #48

I posted at a Cardinals board for awhile JonLP24 Jun 2020 #18

You're the one who doesn't get it. Jirel Jun 2020 #19

Thank you! StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #22

So now I'm supposedly not supporting... keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #28

When the shoe fits... Jirel Jun 2020 #33

Falsely attacked. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #34

No, you don't have it figured out at all. Which is why some soul-searching is in order StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #37

You show your own discomfort. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #39

If you're not feeling discomfort, you're not paying attention StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #40

Sorry that you disagree with yourself. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #41

LOL StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #42

Some people can't say three simple words wellst0nev0ter Jun 2020 #90

No it doesn't. it just allows bigots to control things JI7 Jun 2020 #44

They came up with the name they have been around for years doing the work and look at that support JonLP24 Jun 2020 #9

Agreed. HotTeaBag Jun 2020 #11

Hell no. Jirel Jun 2020 #12

"It is not the job of the BLM movement to make it easier for white folks to hear their message." WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #15

Yup greenjar_01 Jun 2020 #21

It's The Job RobinA Jun 2020 #69

It doesn't need to be changed one bit. Jirel Jun 2020 #70

Did You Actually RobinA Jun 2020 #73

Change is not not happening because BLM's slogan isn't what you want it to be StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #83

BLM is doing fine gollygee Jun 2020 #86

Maybe when you hear "Black Lives Matter" you can add "too" quietly in your head, to yourself. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #13

Thank you StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #25

Tone-policing and correcting is always about more than the wrong word or how someone said something. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #26

No, that makes it sound defensive and weakens it. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2020 #16

Sounds like a sequal lame54 Jun 2020 #23

And the sequel is usually not as good as the original. demmiblue Jun 2020 #27

Nah. Solly Mack Jun 2020 #24

Not bad! I knew there would be some disagreement but... keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #29

No, it is defensive and unnecessary. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #30

The first time I heard "Black Lives Matter" Bettie Jun 2020 #38

"reflexively thought that it was obvious and devalued others' lives" keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #57

I don't support them Bettie Jun 2020 #58

Some people need that 'too'. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #62

Those people are making a choice Bettie Jun 2020 #65

Yep. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #67

Just cheering Bettie Jun 2020 #68

It sounds like an afterthought struggle4progress Jun 2020 #43

Nice dodge. Good one. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #50

Odd... I'm getting that vibe from every one of your responses. LanternWaste Jun 2020 #63

No excuse. You give another great dodge. keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #66

Excellent! demmiblue Jun 2020 #53

I agree with you. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #51

If you fully support the BLM movement, you would support THEIR slogan. demmiblue Jun 2020 #52

This Is Just RobinA Jun 2020 #77

OK, Karen. n/t demmiblue Jun 2020 #79

Why do you think you're the audience? gollygee Jun 2020 #87

If you think "words matter," then use the words you want StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #60

why do we have to change the message to appease racists? SoonerPride Jun 2020 #64

I always figure if someone doesn't agree with a movement, jmg257 Jun 2020 #54

IKR? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #61

What the fuck is this? PTWB Jun 2020 #55

"We don't need to appease white supremacists and say black lives matter TOO. " keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #56

why do we have to change the message to appease racists? SoonerPride Jun 2020 #59

If You Wish To Change RobinA Jun 2020 #75

Fuck them SoonerPride Jun 2020 #78

You think adding the word "too" to "Black Lives Matter" will "change the racists"? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #80

You were kinder in your rebuttal than I was SoonerPride Jun 2020 #82

They should not be centered in this discussion gollygee Jun 2020 #89

Only Trumpanzees don't support BLM wellst0nev0ter Jun 2020 #91

The times keithbvadu2 Jun 2020 #92

I can believe it gollygee Jun 2020 #88

I'll go with BLM, but thanks for the suggestion. nt. Voltaire2 Jun 2020 #71
