What is wrong with: All lives matter phrase??

All Lives Matter, there you buddy

 

Not to mention the Blue Lives Matter flag, the thin blue line, you see everywhere. Because disrespecting the flag was such a big deal to the right, but co-opting the flag, turning it black and white with a blue line.... should be celebrated! Not disrespectful at all to the flag.

 

¿Qué?

 

A perfect example of another one.

A shibboleth is any custom or tradition, usually a choice of phrasing or even a single word, that distinguishes one group of people from another. It is a Hebrew word. In the Bible the word was used as a password, a means to determine who was part of one group of people and who was not by differences in pronunciation. It still has that sense of divisively identifying someone or assigning them a determined place on the social scale.

Really digging for a fight, aren’t you?

 

I agree, not a taunt, Retort is a better fit.

Retort ~ a sharp, angry, or wittily incisive reply to a remark.

 

Now who's being sensitive?

 

The OP asked what was wrong with the phrase, not what might be amiss within the BLM movement.

 

You can’t handle opposing views, is what it comes down to.

 

As if everybody sticks to the OP here on every topic.

 

This is rich! What the hell do you think you have been doing on this forum?

 

I go out of my way not to insult people here.

 

As does their generous dispensation of 'disagrees' and 'dislikes.' A thoroughly petulant and disagreeable lot.

 

My thoughts exactly. It may not in most cases be motivated by latent racism, but it sure shows a profound insensitivity to the plight of blacks at the hands of some cops.

 

What do YOU think it BLM means?

 

No doubt speaking for yourself. Your colors are evident in almost every post you make on this forum.

 

Sounds like I hit some truth and it hurts.

 

You actually got two come on mans for that excellent observation. Some.oeople.are flat out racists. Whether those two are, I don't know, but ye shall know them by their works.

 

It was predictable those ratings would appear - it was also predictable as to whom would rate my post that way. Agreed, when people show you who they are, believe them. And I do.

 

The reason I've blocked them. Their drivel is repulsive.
