In an email promulgating the resolution as an attachment, the following email is sent out to all staff, civilian and military.

"Subject: EEOC Resolution

Team
The events of recent days reinforce the imperative that we must treat each other with respect, fairly and without biases. Without that, we tear the very fabric that ties us together and the richness gained from the diversity of all people, leveraging the value of different thought, background, culture, lifestyles, and more. For your awareness, I have attached a copy of the resolution from the EEOC issued this this week.

We are stronger together and the CIO team benefits greatly from each team mate.

Black Lives Matter!

XXXXXX XXXXXXX
Assistant Commander XXXX"

I was fine with the content of the email until the last line before the signature. Is this appropriate to add into an email like a slogan promoting the value of the lives of only part of the staff? It was in the resolution that was sent out - and that's fine, it's EEOC's job to make these resolutions. But is is appropriate for a supervisor to put it into his email in this format?

Thank you for your insight.
White Lives Matter, Yellow Lives Matter, Red Lives Matter, Brown Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter i.e., ALL lives matter. No one has a monopoly on their life mattering more than another's. More blacks are killed by blacks than by police but nobody cares. More whites are killed by police than blacks but nobody cares. This entire BLM movement is little more than an excuse to riot, loot, burn and steal. Recognize it for what it REALLY is.
