I'm worried for her She didn't mean any harm but she's going to get attacked.

Yeah, that's how I first interpreted All Lives Matter too when I didn't understand it. It's not a wrong statement at all, either, but I can totally understand it.

When #BLM started to come up people made an #ALM because they felt like black people were only rooting for themselves.

Also it kind of diminishes the problem at hand, people getting murdered because they are black.
By saying ALL lives matter, you take the focus off what's really the problem.

Thank You!

I know, and I totally get what people mean with #ALM.
But as minorities we're not all dealing with the same issues, we're not one big pile against the straight whites.

Every minority has their own issues and I think that should be acknowledged and respected, for example by saying BLM when a black person is getting murdered because of their skincolor.

The rest of the tweet clearly shows she had no bad intentions. She's on the right side. If you remove the hashtag, it's a valid tweet against police brutality

Not everyone is aware that racists and trolls used the #AllLivesMatter hashtag to undermine #BLM. She probably has no idea of the negative connotation of #ALM

You in danger girl

She doesn't mean any harm, she just needs to be educated on the difference.

Ya'll are doing the most trying to drag her. It's like you see the words "AllLivesMatter" and instinctively get vicious without using your brains first to process the context.

Yeah, its certainly not a negative statement in itself. AllLivesMatter can be taken as a dismantling of discriminatory behaviour where one kind of life (white, cis, male for example) is given higher importance than another. I'm not sure if thats the origin of the hashtag but plenty of have misused as way of undermining BLM and now it has lots of negative connotations.

This tweet had very good intentions but the hashtag has made it a mess.

Exactly
She seems clueless about the situation/hashtag, of course all lives matters but not all ethnicities are getting killed because of the color of their skins

People in her responses acting like the difference between BTM and ALM was taught as part of the school syllabus

So many people don't realize what #AllLivesMatter is.

Please, you are not doing anyone any favor by dragging them and calling them trash when their intentions are pure. Educate people with respect. Then again, i shouldn't expect that from ATRL.

i agree
