To the Editor:

I'd like to say that "Black Lives Matter" is a poor mantra because it excludes anyone who is not black. I don't consider it a fair treatment of the situation we have today.

"All Good Citizen's Lives Matter" is much more inclusive and a much better phrasing.

I don't care whether you're black, white, orange, pink, indigo, tan, brown or very black; your lives matter! It does not matter what color you are. If you are a caring, loving person on the right side of the law, you matter.

Even criminals’ lives matter because they all had/have mothers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, children and grandchildren; not to mention the many extended families people often have.
