I guess these moonbats think they have a patent on the 'x lives matter' meme.

Quote:
A New York Yankees minor-league affiliate says it was surprised by the controversy surrounding a “Blue Lives Matter Day” held at its ballpark Sunday.

Many Black Lives Matter demonstrators are offended by the slogans Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter.

Kirsten Savali, a cultural critic for the Root, an online magazine on African-American culture, said that with this event the baseball team “unapologetically spits” in the face of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“The Staten Island Yankees wanted to send a statement today, and they did: Black lives don’t matter to them or the Yankees organization,” Savali wrote. “On today of all days, they made it clear that not only is baseball ‘America’s Favorite Pastime,’ but it goes hand in hand with the continued dehumanization of black Americans.”

When someone misappropriates a righteous slogan, the soldiers of justice sound off!

Since you don't know the answer to this why don't you walk up to the next black person you see and ask them? Black livse matter to the over whelming majority of black people but there is a small violent minority of people within the community that cause trouble. Things are getting better but not as fast as most of us will like...

When is the "black lives matter" not completely enraged about something? This is their normal state of being.

I am not a fan of BLM, but this is really like spitting in their face, isn't it? It's intentionally making light of a cause they consider very serious. If some a-hole said, "Baby killers, hahaha" in front of a veterans group, isn't that offensive and, at the least, in bad taste?

Exactly. It's mocking a group of people who are upset. And given what we've seen, they have a right to be, although I get what you're all saying about the hypocrisy.

It just seems unnecessary. Like poking someone just to agitate them.

The BLM crowd doesn't seem to care when the black lives are killed in the womb.
