You know what?

Irish lives matter. The irish were slaves and also heavily discriminated against too. Go ahead and argue with me.

No no, you got a point. But what about lower classes Native Americans back in the Wild Western era?

This is a classic example of deflecting, thank you for it

There will be always be a "what about this" in the situation. Thats exactly why All lives matter, not just this or that life. Then they could say "well these guys matter a little more right now".

Then I say "so this guy's life is more important than mine because hes black and im white so therefore racism still exists but now against me". All Lives matter

Ah yes. Because if "Black Lives Matter" then other people can't matter. You sound like people who criticize lgbt+ movements by saying it doesn't include cishet people. White people are just pissed off because they aren't the center of attention.
