If your natural reply to "Black Lives Matter" is "All lives matter!" you are either very stupid, very misguided, or you're just happy you found a sneaky way to be a racist under the guise of giving a shit about equality
"But wait, blanko! Saying only black lives matter is actually racist!!"
Okay, except it's very obviously not saying only black lives matter. It's saying that they matter TOO. The "too" is implicit in the very genesis of the goddamn phrase. The entire point of the movement is that police have been treating other races' lives as though they're worth more than black lives. They will so much more readily and carelessly kill a black person, thereby treating them like their lives are worth less. The movement is saying they aren't worth less. It's pretty damn simple, no?
Do you think "Black Lives Matter" is somehow meant to devalue the lives of white people? Of course you don't think that, because nobody could be that stupid. So anyone acting like this is some sort of reverse racism is completely full of it
Why do you think Black Lives Matter became a thing? Why wasn't it another race? Oh, because other races aren't constantly being gunned down in the streets the moment they move because the cop felt "threatened" despite the guy being unarmed? Yeah, maybe that's why
The throng of loud, stupid white people who've never experienced police discrimination in their lives yelling "All lives matter!" are missing the entire goddamn point. You're already treated like you matter. This isn't about you
