Written by me in response to someone who was in turn responding to something commenting on "all lives matter" as a response to "Black lives matter":
It's a matter of context. Yes, all lives matter. That's why the message that black lives matter is so important. "All lives matter" as a response to "black lives matter" is dismissing the experiences of black people, and the importance of the message that their lives matter. "All lives matter" used used to mean white lives matter more than black lives is despicable.
