“All Lives Matter” is like a Narcissist trying to bring the spotlight back to them. They can’t stand not having the attention, and will do anything to get it.

We have a movement in Canada called "Every Child Matters" due to indigenous history. The most annoying thing to experience is the same idiots who complain about BLM commenting on this one. "Black Lives Matter? What the hell dude, ALL lives matter!" then 5 minutes later saying "Every Child Matters? No shit, what a stupid movement name!" Can't win with these folks.

I like to think of it like a broken bone. Yes, your overall health is important; no one is questioning that. But if you go into the ER with a broken bone and the doctor tells you that they're going to ignore your injury in favor of telling you to take your vitamins, they're an asshole who doesn't care about your pain or healing your injury.

Systemic racism is the broken bone. No one (except, perhaps, assholes and billionaires) disagrees that all lives have value. Saying "all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter," though, is saying "let's wilfully ignore the problem because I am clearly okay with the status quo."

Edit to fix typo.

Some folk annoyed you posting, I hope they have a mildly bad day scrubbbles.

Most of the people who say "all lives matter" in that context don't actually think that black lives matter.

To be fair casting for both Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One and Johnny Depps as Tonto were both criticized when the movies were released. Probably not to the level Halle Baileys casting was, or by the same people, but both were definitely seen as whitewashing.

Its also likely The Ancient Ones casting got as much attention as it did due to the political nature of the change (seen as to appease China over its history regarding Tibet).
