I prefer ‘All lives matter’.

Just like with the rainbow flag… It was designed to include everyone. Literally ‘all colours of the rainbow’. But somehow someone found it necessary to add the ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’-triangle. What part of the concept ‘everyone’ didn’t you get? Let’s just stop singling out groups of people that ‘matter’ more than others for a certain period of time. It’s not inclusive at all. Let’s just stop it.

Still thinking about it. It shouldn’t be provocative or divisive- it only is if it is interpreted to mean that “black lives don’t matter” or that only white lives matter. I’ve seen posts about how this is “white supremacy” or anti-blackness. And it may be, if targeting to be the polar opposite of the background of the Black Lives Matter sentence/slogan. However, the fact that it seems to be immediately interpreted to mean just that seems to symbolise the politicalization (?) of everything that is said and done… why always immediately position things against each other and immediately judge the whole of someone’s being and actions on that categorisation? I understand how it angers people and how it can be interpreted etc. And it may be that. But for me, it has made me think mostly on how something like this immediately seems to mean that these shirts say that black lives don’t matter or that racism doesn’t need to be wiped out … what happened that everything is so polarised all off the time?!? And why grant so much attention to these two people wearing these shirts- if their intention is to make you stop and think- it’s not worked it seems. If their attention was to divide- job done, don’t fall for it and keep up the good fight for equality and inclusion and wiping out racism, antisemitism, homophobia, islamophobia etc!
