Yes I have a problem with the whole thing....lol Besides the stupidity of it...Anyone with a brain stem should know that all lives matter.
See that's the problem ,with that said I'll leave you with the below
The phrase “all lives matter” began as a response to the phrase “black lives matter” in 2014, according to a story in Congressional Quarterly, following the killing of two NYPD officers. It evolved out of “Blue Lives Matter,” which refers to police officers. Conservatives especially embraced the “all lives matter” slogan.
However, saying “all lives matter” as a rebuttal to Black Lives Matter is an attempt to suppress the focus on black lives. It’s inherently disingenuous, because it can’t be true that all lives matter until black lives matter, too. Joseph Margulies is a professor of law and government at Cornell University and he recently penned an essay on the topic. He says that the phrase All Lives Matter strips Black Lives Matter of its teeth and neuters it.
“Saying that ‘all lives matter’ is a weapon of racism,” Margulies says. “It's a weapon of advantage. It is easy for those who systematically accumulate advantage to say, of course, we are all equal. Yet, it’s only black lives that are being systematically depressed, oppressed, and repressed, and historically always have been. The viciousness of attacks on black bodies is reason enough to treat it separately.”
