Это было бы так, если бы сторонники "BLM", не нападали на тех, кто хотел бы видеть рядом "All Lives Matter". Агрессия рождает отторжение.

[oroszlan]

thats your interpretation

[aka_human]

Obviously.

[oroszlan]

you either dont know where "all lives matter" came from, or know but doing the "прикинуться дурочкой" thing. either way i dont really care

You can choose whatever you want but do explain why not use a slogan that doesn't allow misinterpretation. What's the need for antagonism?

Or explain why they are so much against All Lives Matter - not even instead but even alongside BLM.

[oroszlan]

Easy. Slogans often start spontaneously. Unarmed black person get killed by police. Someone shouts Black lives matter. People pick it up, repost, share. Is it ideal? Maybe not.

On your second question. Precisely because Alm was born as a racist or very least "pretending to be an idiot" response to Blm.

1. It's ok that they use BLM slogan. It's not ok that anyone who uses ALM is labelled racist.

2. I disagree. ALM was first used by the mayor of Baltimore in 2015 and was meant as a slogan for reconciliation.

And again. You choose to see antagonism. You choose to read "only". Instead of "also". Its a choice.
