People have been fired from their jobs, shamed and vilified for daring to say that "All Lives Matter". And yet, even though they are punished for it, sanity prevails among most Americans.

The obvious reason for this is unstated context.

Black Lives Matter is so aggressively promoted that I take it to have the meaning of “Black Lives Matter MORE”... or “ONLY Black Lives Matter.”

“All Lives” is clearly a reaction to that, and just brings the balance somewhat back to neutral.

“Among blacks, a 47 percent plurality picked “All Lives Matter” over the 44 percent who picked ‘Black Lives Matter.’”

Among the sanctimonious corporate CEOs inundating me with emails, 100% reject “All Lives Matter”.

I prefer “Black Babies Lives Matter” to trigger the woke who support full term abortion

The blacks could just move back to Africa and they would not have to worry about the bad white people.

That’s refreshing. Imagine the results if everyone polled wasn’t afraid to say their true feelings.

Racism 101: the only lives that matter are black lives.

BLM has had its time to screen test a cultural revolution.

Its been dog whistles to whole time.

Among blacks, a 47 percent plurality picked “All Lives Matter” over the 44 percent who picked “Black Lives Matter.”

So the woke white leftists and all of their virtue signaling on social media doesn't even reflect the views of most blacks.

This is actually the case on most issues if you poll specifically on the issue and not by political party among blacks - such as on school choice. But the media and the Dems have a good history of deliberately misinforming them as to which political party has their best interests...or at least more of their best interests.

Which trumps ... “Veterans matter”, or “just black lives matter”?

“All Lives Matter” was picked by 59 percent of all voters, 58 percent of swing-voters, and 56 percent of “moderate” voters.

I am surprised it's only 59% who think all lives matter.
Of course sll lives matter. Black lived don't matter even one tiny bit more than Latino lives, Chinese lives, White lives or any other lives

In another poll common sense is preferred 2:1 over virtue signaling. Thank goodness.

Black Lives Matter is a poor slogan. It is not truthful. Some may matter but many do not. Just regularly read or watch the news.

That’s because “All Lives Matter” - while saccharin - is basically aspirational but “Black Lives Matter” is clearly divisive.

To anyone whose IQ exceeds their shoe size that is.

Black Lives vs. All Lives is vast oversimplification.

I believe we need to be hyperagressive in publicizing the BLM statement of its actual goals, which have NOTHING to do with respect for black lives: destruction of the family, further marginalization of black males, destruction of “heteronormativity” & replacement with an agressive LGBT & transgender agenda aimed at children, open borders & destruction of capitalism.

I believe this Soros-funded agenda CAN be defeated if people are informed about what it REALLY is.
