Slogans don’t matter, clarity of message matters

Some people get mad when you say ALL LIVES MATTER, and other people get mad when you say BLACK LIVES MATTER. What’s missing is clarity of the message that regurgitating catchy but confusing slogans fails to deliver on, and intelligent discussions do deliver on.


When someone says BLACK LIVES MATTER, the message conveys different things to different peoples because the message and intent behind the message is missing, and whether that’s ambiguous by design or due to an inability to use the English language to convey the message clearly, the fact remains that it’s lost.

Due to it’s ties to an admitted Marxist organization, and the conduct they’ve seen on display recently, many see this as a divisional and a racist agenda to say Black Lives Matter, and it’s nothing more than a means of dividing America in a time when we should all be progressing toward eliminating race from our lives.

Others say Black Lives Matter, and mean that while all lives matter, Black Lives are the ones being attacked in their opinion, and black lives matter too.

Still others say Black Lives Matter, and because of their hateful and racist divisional rhetoric, the impression is that they truly don’t care about any lives but Black ones, so Black lives matter more.


In an attempt put distance between themselves an the whole BLM movement, many have adopted the slogan ALL LIVES MATTER, and that message becomes vague to people.

Some see this as an attempt to be inclusive and not racially biased as they see the BLM movement as being by specifying a race, and so try to bring everyone together under one slogan to not tolerate the senseless loss of ANY life.

Others see this as an attempt to exclude the importance of Blacks losing their lives, and/or ignoring the importance of black lives lost to police violence


ALL of this is a result of people using confusing slogans that can mean different things to different people to get messages across rather than intelligent discussions so that everyone is clear what the message is about, OR simply come up with a slogan that there is no need to clarify because the slogan is able to be clearly understood by everyone like below....






No need for clarification. The message is clear, because it is obvious, and yes, we can all agree that they are men, so then the obvious conclusion is to say “Then treat me like a man”. You can debate as to whether they are or are not being treated like men, but you can never misconstrue what the message says.
