I agree people shouldn't cross out black lives matter.
However, if you're going to let them write "black lives matter," you should also allow people to write "all lives matter."
If our society has reached a point of guilt, where we can no longer acknowledge that all lives matter, and doing so is "racist," that means blacks (and allies) will have become the new de facto racist group.

This took a minute to sink in. Everyone should contemplate this statement for a minute. For me the phrase All Lives Matter seems very guiltless and brings feelings of unity, while Black Lives Matter brings feelings of division. Just seems like it is doing nothing to unite people on the cause... like a bad marketing campaign trying to guilt people into joining a cause.
