Thank you for returning this to the forums, it is an important lesson to learn and I'm glad it was returned, I hope everyone on CS learns from this and finally stops being racist and preaching "all lives matter" when they know what it really means.

^ this. exactly this.

the post's explanation was amazing. it was easy to understand and should help those who were genuinely confused about alm vs blm. there's just too much ignorance for me to be hopeful in most people anymore, namely willful ignorance--there's been injustice for far, far too long all over the world.

honestly this makes sense-
I didn't really know exactly what "all lives matter" meant in a matter of how some people use it so this clears it up for me. At first I saw no problem w/the term but then again I didn't know about how others use it. I do believe we all matter no matter what race, gender, etc. But I feel like people who use it like this can suck an egg lol.

I was in the same position at first, then I learnt the effect it has and how many are using it in nasty ways, so it made sense to explain it to others who may not also have understood. c: I'm glad it helped clear things up for you, I'd hate for anyone to be mislabeled as racist by using a phrase they don't fully understand. c:
