So tired of hearing comebacks from the Black Lives Matter movement that they are offended by us saying that ALL LIVES MATTER. Well I say: Get over it! Cause all lives do matter!

ALL LIVES MATTER

Is obviously the humane and correct perspective.
We will know that we have arrived as a society when race is no longer a distinction. People are just people and should be hired, promoted, recruited, whatever based on their qualifications.

Turn it around on them. I stumped one of my prog friends the other day when I told him that Black Lives don't matter if ALL LIVES don't matter. Because if ALL LIVES don't matter, then that means only some matter. And if only some matter today, then who's to say that doesn't change tomorrow? Lives that matter today could be made to not matter tomorrow. Public opinion is constantly changing, and if we make exclusions or qualifiers today, they could easily be changed tomorrow.

Black Lives Matter depends on All Lives Matter, and All Lives Matter depends on Black Lives Matter.

If all lives matter, why does the data suggest that blacks don’t care about white lives?

500,000 Black violent attacks per year on whites.

Ive been reading up on this topic. And I think that you are misunderstanding why a distinction is being made.

It is called Black Lives Matter, because it is focusing on a specific problem regarding a specific race.

In this case, Police brutality against African Americans (ie Blacks).

The issue with using "All" isn't the fact that all people don't matter. The issue is that Blacks are disproportionately suffering from said problem and they are addressing that problem.

It is exclusive, but not discriminatory. By your logic, a woman's hospital is sexist because it addresses women's needs.
