It seems to me that you dont know the actual intention of "black lives matter", as well as the phrase "blue lives matter".

"Black lives matter" is in reference of the ongoing injustice of systemic violence and heavy (violent) policing targetting black people.

"Blue lives matter" came up after the horrible violence of cops against black people protesting in wake or George Floyd's murder. It is usually uttered by "law-and-order" fascists.

Therefore:

  1. Stating the connection of the post to BLM in the context of "yOuR jUsT aS bAd aS tHe racIsTs!" is simply cringe.
  2. Fascists refer to cops they look up to "blue lives". It is ok and your duty as a freedom loving person to punch fascists. That's the point of the original post.
