When has a political slogan ever clearly explained the details of a stance? For example, what does “Make America great again” mean exactly?
However, I don’t understand why the BLM message is so hard for people to grasp. They want issues facing black Americans to be addressed, issues that have conveniently been ignored. That can mean discrimination, housing inequality, police brutality, etc. of course ‘all lives matter’; I have seen very little from their at large message that would suggest they don’t care about the lives of other groups.
But when people say things like “all lives matter” and “thier message isn’t clear” it kind of reinforces the BLM stance that society would rather continue to ignore difficult issues like racial inequality in favor of mocking their slogan.
If one doesn’t believe that inequality is an issue or they don’t think black people deserve those things then that should be their stance. Mocking a slogan is kind of a cowardice position to take; condescending at that too if people are not willing to engage or justify why they disagree with BLM. It’s just a trolll thing to say when you want to piss ofF someone you disagree with.
(Not saying you necessarily feel this way OP, just ranting about the broader climate of it all)
I get what your saying I was saying all black lives matter not just all lives matter. I'm just saying defunding the police in my opinion just seems like it's going to have a opposite effect. Why don't people put all this money and support in black communities. If people would look at the bigger picture past the police we can really do something great for equality.
