All Lives Matter

I'm so sick of that bullshit phrase

What 'All Lives Matter' means is ...

I'm a White man who wants everyone to stop talking about Black men being murdered by police officers.

It has no other meaning, it's the equivalent to Hitler's "Arbeit macht frei"

It means the exact opposite to the people who say it.

When all lives matter, no one can complain if we talk about a life.

One life, as part of all, matters mos
If in the USA we are champions of the individual, then the one matters. Everyone, every name, every murder victim.

"All Lives Matter" is just a conjecture phrase used by those who want to discredit BLM.
