Lmao no. Just because people want to make the movement about themselves does not mean they'll be grateful and suddenly support us if we changed it to 'BLM TOO' or 'All Lives can't matter (...)' etc. We really don't need people that rile up more passionately over a social movement name than police brutality / racism in America.
It takes a quick Google search to find out the motives behind the movement. If your ignorant ass wants to stay ignorant then do so. You can't talk to someone who can't hear you
Playing devil's advocate, I like 'All Minority Lives Matter'. I think that's the most inclusive for all the right reasons. White people don't need to be involved because white people aren't oppressed [for being white]. However, black people aren't the only minorities who are oppressed.
Black people face unique oppression no other non-black people of color face though, so Black Lives Matter aims to target that unique oppression rooted in anti-blackness.

Not to mention that it isn't black folks' duty to take on every else's problems. Lord knows we're on our own most of the time.
I am still pissed off at the fact that I can't say all lives matter anymore cuz that is usually what I said to defend animal rights I think that wont work, people who don't get what BLM is now will not start supporting it just cuz of a name change.
Black Lives Should Matter More Under The Law is way too long in terms of a marketing perspective. Even then there will still be people trying to erase the movement by saying All lives should matter more under the law.
