&gt; that we all think black lives matter more than other lives.<p>No, I don&#x27;t think all of you think that. I definitely think the founders of the movement think that.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m curious what you think of the common advice of parents to little boys, &quot;Treat women with respect.&quot;<p>Since you asked, I would find that quite sexist and I would never tell anyone that, because it implies that women are inferior and need special protection.<p>If in fact they do need special protection, then fine. For example the anti-discrimination against blacks laws of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.<p>Now, I know what you are thinking: Blacks do need special protection, so we need this slogan. Except that the heroes of the slogan are criminals who brought things on themself.<p>The fact that that is the origin story of the slogan is a big problem for me, and I have a hard time accepting that anyone would support it.<p>&gt; You may not like this way of getting a point across, but if you pretend it doesn&#x27;t exist you risk coming off as a person who doesn&#x27;t understand nuance.<p>I understand it, I simply disagree with it. It&#x27;s not the same thing.<p>&gt; So, now that you understand this, could you please stop suggesting that people who support &quot;Black Lives Matter!&quot; think other lives don&#x27;t matter as much?<p>I&#x27;ll stop suggesting it, when they stop supporting criminals.
