Slogans and Groups

Of late, I've been paying more attention to politics in general or rather how organizers of said groups get it wrong.

One of the biggest faux pas that I've noticed is the black group advocating "Black Lives Matter" which strikes me as the very wrong message the phrase conveys.  The assumption from the group itself that they themselves don't think they do.

To start a project in which you state unequivocally that you are the underdog is an admission of defeat.  And that's before you ever get out the door with this self-defeating slogan.  When group leaders admit there's an error in their thinking or phrasing, then what've you got?

Misguided "leaders" - be careful whom you follow.  I'm talkin' to you Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Walters ...
