Notice it was Black lives matters the saying and not the organization from my understanding. I think we can all agree with the sentiment.

Kind of hard to argue that when this is in the very first sentence of the statement

Black lives matter is a divisive phrase.

Yes we can agree with the sentiment of equality but only when we all believe all lives matter. Not just black lives.

If the two things weren’t inseparable, one of them would change to differentiate between them.

All of the black lives, or just the one killed by white people (especially white cops)?

Even if you differentiate the sentiment of black lives matter vs the organization, there are still issues.

Criminals resisting’s lives don’t matter to me whether they are black, white, or whatever.

Screw that. BLM has ridden their very clever name way further than they should have gotten away with.

If you want to support economically challenged people that's outstanding, but that support should be race neutral.

IMO, any support shown for minorities should be completely divorced from BLM. I am not playing the game of "it's the saying, not the organization." The saying, to the extent it is separate from the organization, has been tarnished by rioting, blatant racism, looting, arson, murder and Marxism.

We all should agree with the sentiment All Lives Matter.

But that's racist in 2020. :letthatsinkin:
