What is your Interpretation of the Slogan "Black Lives Matter"?

all live matter if only one group matters I think that's a racist statement I will say it again all live matter.

They always have.... SPC Andrew Griffin

The only thing that stands out to me about this slogan is.....it's written in white letters. Considering that all default fonts are "black" someone went out of their way to make this one white. Oh the irony and how disrespectful to black letters.

That slogan needs to change to everyone's life matter. We all bleed the same. We should find way to bring us together instead of traits that separate us.

I believe all lives matter. This slogan came out of a situation where once all the facts came out, it was found the cop did everything correct, and the individual never once had his hands up saying, "don't shoot." I believe the slogan should say all lives matter. While I sympathize with the struggle in certain areas, I believe a lot of the hatred and racial divide is caused by the media and other race baiters. A majority of African Americans I talk to do not agree with Al Sharpton and the rest of the media whores. People just want to live their lives without being reminded of how bad their ancestors or they had it. The funny thing is for the most part I have seen true camaraderie and brotherhood in the military amongst all the races. I wish we could inject that into the civilian communities as well. We are all doing life together, and should be taking care of each other. Building each other up instead of tearing each other down. I firmly believe that Martin Luther King is rolling over in his grave in disgust at our society. Two days ago a white police officer was killed by an African American, and I do not see Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson in the news crying for his family. Equality is equality, and we serve to defend the rights of everyone whether we agree with them or not. Great question.

I think what started out as a good idea has morphed into something too extreme, as most things do in our country, as of late. What gets me is when people say "all lives matter", there is some kind of backlash. Well, the Police Commissioner here in Memphis just said on live TV "All lives matter.". So take that! And just so folks can visualize how crazy things have become....

I disagree with it.
All Lives Matter.

All lives matter.

I don't like the phrase since to me, "All Lives Matter". Pretty sure we are all the same on the inside.

Here's the thing about this slogan: it's intention is good (or rather, it was when it started), and it's also true. Black lives DO matter. However, it's been appropriated by the media, social media and people of a more...militant bearing (NOT referring to service people) and shouted over and over until it makes other races feel like they're saying ONLY black lives matter. So much so that fights break out when someone says ALL lives matter. There's such a thing as shouting a message so loudly that it's words are lost in the volume. I think we've arrived at that point here.
