    I don't understand why people on both sides of this stupid BLM vs ALM thing don't just agree to make it: Black Lives Also Matter.

    BLM has the implied "too" with it. It isn't a statement excluding any other lives.

    It wasn't her poster she defaced. Missing recess seems okay for that.

    BLM is a racist organization. They divide the country. **** them. If they mean “too” then they should say “too”.

    Not to mention profit off people's emotions only to pocket the donations meant for underserved communities for themselves to spend on multi-million dollar mansions.

    This makes no sense. Some individuals grifting equates a entire movement and more specifically a classroom with a teacher and students grifting or something?

    What is your point? How does any of your.logic make any sense?

    grifting is right. If you gave to BLM, you were grifted.

    It's like saying you are a grifter because you support gun rights because the NRA grifts.

    Not saying “you’re a grifter”. More like “you were grifted”

    Yes, they may be guilty of giving the white majority too much credit for unstanding the demonstrable suffering of African-Americans in the criminal justice system.

    But it would be racist of them to presume ignorance. So they weren't racist in trusting people's understanding.

    Sure, it's still taught today thanks to those that are fighting for these things to still be taught...but there are those that wish for these things not to be taught anymore and they are almost always conservative.

    This is why black people don't vote red and why it will continue to be that way.

    Sure, I'm not arguing that it isn't taught or especially wasn't taught, I'm arguing that there is a movement to NOT teach it or to downplay it...you know, like wanting to call slavery "Involuntary relocation" I'd like to make sure that it is still taught but you see a lot of these people hide behind getting rid of 'CRT' to try and remove as much of black history as possible.

    For instance, there was a mom's group in Tenn that did want to ban books about MLK and Ruby Bridges...
