For starters I'd suggest not putting black lives matter in capitals since that acronym covers both the tautological expression as well as the Marxist organisation which has taken this moniker. Yes, lives matter no matter the colour of the skin, why do you ask? No, I will not support the organisation which has co-opted the name since they only use the name to further their political agenda.
- MadSudaca 6y agoI agree with what you’re saying. The fact you get downvoted speaks of the success they’ve had masquerading themselves as a good or “peaceful” movement. People, I know you mean well but remember that bad things that look good can cause much more harm than things that look outright bad. Be skeptical.
- Twixes 6y agoYes, on the face it's tautological. In reality it isn't, because black lives clearly do not matter as much as white ones, particularly to the police, but also to many other institutions public and private alike. That's what the struggle is for, and behind it is an unorganized popular movement, not any "Marxist" organization.
