Honestly, what do you prefer, All lives matter, or Black Lives Matter?
For me, being an African American, I go with "All lives matter" because just think about it. Just consider it for a sec. BLACK lives matter... Be honest. Does that not sound like Only black lives matter? Some people claim that BLM means "Black lives matter too". Then why don't they just say that? I would get the point across. Or how about "all lives matter". That means that all lives should matter, including those of African Americans. Some may want to say I'm against my race, or I have white parents. The fact is I don't. I'm saying this because recently on the local news they were covering a protest in my hometown. And one of the chants were, believe it or not, "Who's lives matter?" Then everyone yelled, "Black lives Matter." Why on earth would someone say that? It's like Blacks are saying only their lives matter. They think that's showing people they want racial justice. To me, they're showing that they ARE the racist. Dr. Mather Luther King Jr did not have everyone yelling that only they're lives matter, instead, he had them peacefully protest and chant that they wanted to be treated equally. So then why aren't we following his footsteps instead of looting, stealing, and rioting?
In conclusion, we should follow Dr. Mather Luther King Jr's words by peacefully protesting and coming up with a better name that shows All lives including those of Black Americans, matter. So what do you think is better, Black lives matter or All lives matter?
It is your choice (: ...
Im pretty sure the people behind three of the answers are stupid, idiots who need help in their completley usless lives. And yes I am a black child of God if you'll excuse me...
Also If you think that I'm trying to say that all lives are in equal danger by saying "all lives matter", you're a blind, cursed, idiot because I already mentiond what I was trying to say by "all lives matter" in the description...
Plus GRUMPY, what you said makes no sence because It has nothing to do what we're talking about cause we are not talking about marital problems...
Umm yeah, MEN ARE DANGEROUS, shut up...

When your wife comes to you in pain and says, “do you love me?” Do you say, “I love everyone“?
Oh, who are we kidding. You’re alone and miserable.

The slogan is "Black Lives MATTER". Not "BLACK Lives Matter".
If you say "All Lives Matter", you're suggesting that all lives are equally in danger and they're not. When was the last time a white man was shot seven times in the back by a policeman when trying to get in his car?
