So… what? The point remains that black lives exist, not blue lives.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at. In case my original comment wasn’t clear, I was (I guess too subtly) pointing out the problematic and racist origins of the blue lives matter phrase

You left the end of your statement unsaid so it wasn’t clear to me. It could be taken more than one way. Such as “Don’t complain that blue lives don’t exist, because if BLM hadn’t started it, blue lives wouldn’t even be a thing.”

Glad to know you didn’t mean it that way.

Gotcha yeah, sorry about that lol. Maybe I’ll edit my original comment to be a little clearer

Thanks for clarifying - no apology needed.
