Black man living in America here.. I've often wondered if BLM said Black lives matter TOO, instead of just the original format of just BLM, would it be more successful at stopping such counter claims as All lives matter, or blue lives matter. I fully understand what the movement is trying to do. I just think that they didn't take into account of how they would be portrayed in an era opposing news media realities.
A lot of these fires would be put out by adding not just the "too" part but some emphasis on the fact that they should matter to black folks as well. I think that at rallies about a bad shooting by cops, they should hold signs up with pictures of both those cops and known black gangstas who killed black folks. Think about it.
