How is that a bad statement?

Because there are MANY people (I won't mention any races) that don't believe that all, lives matter. They only believe that THEIR lives matter.

It ignores the issue of negroes being treated as second class citizens. No one is debating that all lives matter.

My life matters cause I make the diffrence

Lets say you wear a bracelet to support breast cancer. And every time I see it I say "All cancer matters, why are you singling out breast cancer?"

Because when you attend your special ed classes, we don't say "all education matters."

That may be how you interpret it, however that’s not what the message is.

The message is Black. Lives. Matter.

Nobody is saying other lives don’t matter, or matter less.

It’s like if you lived in a neighborhood & your neighbor’s house is on fire. You run outside & here your neighbor say “my house matters” as he sprays his house with a water hose. You start to spray your house with your water hose & say “ but what about my house, or his house, don’t they matter to...? Your neighbor replies “Yes, BUT YOUR HOUSE ISN’T ON FIRE”

That’s basically what you’re doing, Ghot.

There’s even a parable in the Bible that describes this same message. Luke 15. Shepard has 100 sheep. 1 sheep gets lost. He goes after the 1 sheep. Do the other 99 not matter ? If course they do, but they’re not the one in danger.

this is a nice statement, good job

Black lives matter should include the word "also" in there. Because it sounds like we are the special chosen ones. And look at what happens to those who proclaim to be chosen

Sadly, people who want to misinterpret you will always find a way.
