5:08Now PlayingIs it ever appropriate to respond with “All Lives Matter” to a Black Lives Matter issue? Of course not, but don’t tell the white nationalist netizens of Twitter that.
All Lives Matter, as a slogan, was a direct response to the social currents that drove the BLM movement over the summer of 2020 and before. People who are protesting the unjust and inhumane treatment of our Black and Brown lads, lasses, and nonconforming masses, chanted BLM to put a spotlight on how the system treats Black Lives as though they’re worthless. It’s not a supremacist statement, it’s a statement for equality.
Good luck making that argument to anyone who truly believes that “All Lives Matters” means anything besides “hey these Black people should really shut up.”
