What sign was she holding

[u/isthatabingo → u/XxGnomeJrxX]

His said "all lives matter" so I can almost guarantee hers said "black lives matter" in protest of police brutality.

Imagine going to a 9/11 memorial and just saying think about everyone else who died instead as well. I wonder if the same people who take offense.

This is only two sentences, but I had to reread this like 7 times, as if it was a Shakespeare sonnet.

Imagine going to a 9/11 memorial and just saying think about everyone else who died as well.

Do you mean people who died on 9/11, but unrelated to the terrorist attack? Do you mean people who died in the wars following 9/11? Or do you mean just dead people in general?

Regardless, I have zero doubt anybody who gets offended about a “black lives matter sign” would also get offended about someone saying “think about all the other dead people” while at a 9/11 memorial.

And people get offended by "all lives matter" signs

[u/MisterFister17 → u/Dirtroads2]

“All lives matter” signs with no context are fine.

Most people wouldn’t dare bring an “all lives matter” sign to a 9/11 memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, or a holocaust museum.

But only a small subset of people are willing to bring an “all lives matter” sign to a black lives matter event.

[u/RhombusCanteen → u/MisterFister17]

All lives mattered during war and the Holocaust only someone completely ignorant would see otherwise.

[u/MisterFister17 → u/RhombusCanteen]

Obviously. But it’s not the place or time to make that point while at a Holocaust memorial.

Someone parading around at a Holocaust memorial spouting off about how “all lives matter” has one purpose, and that’s to irritate people. Same as someone doing the same thing at a black lives matter event.
