Seriously? You're sitting here on an influential industry message board in a discussion about a company that is the largest social network in the world, with an incredible amount of indirect political influence, trying to tell me that words don't matter.
- aaron-lebo 9y agoThey matter a lot less than hunger or starvation or poverty or lack of opportunity which is what those word represent. You can say words all day but they won't change a thing. The petty internal fights of Facebook co-workers crossing out do not matter. Without this article you'd never even know it is happening and just because someone is using the right shibboleth doesn't mean they are a good actor.
- jgh 9y agoNo, just stop. You're fighting the wrong battle here. "Black lives matter" has a very specific meaning and "all lives matter" is a bigoted attempt to undermine the message. Don't try to whattabout me into a bunch of other stuff outside of the scope of the point I was making.
- aaron-lebo 9y agoSo you're gonna put words into other mouths and pretend to understand their motivations (they're just bigots)...and then complain about the same thing?
- orf 9y agoSurely if all lives matter they would stand with BLM, and not cross out their message. Seems biggoted to me.
