[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Genuinely asking, why is "[u]All Lives Matter[/u]" such a negative term? It seems accurate and inclusive of all groups and races.[/quote]

This has been explained and discussed throughout this thread. Go look. [/quote]

NP here:  none of the tortured logic and mental gymnastics in the prior pages explain why “all lives” matter is somehow racist.

It is not racist.[/quote]

Ok, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you really want to know and aren’t just looking to argue.

It’s because it is Black people first and foremost who are dying at the hands of police brutality. They are saying, police think black lives don’t matter, and we’re saying otherwise. When you respond All Lives Matter, it's the equivalent of a man going to a breast cancer march and saying “why aren’t you also marching for prostate cancer? All cancers matter!” Well yes, they do — but right now we’re talking about this one.

So back to you — why do you feel like it is insulting to specifically focus on Black people right now?[/quote]
