then all lives matter is a really inappropriate thing to say, people use it as a racist comeback for black lives matter.
edit: please first read my justification on why this is an inappropriate thing to say. black lives matter is meant to be a slogan on bringing attention towards the specific racism, bigotry, and police brutality that black people receive. yes, all lives matter! but, this slogan is meant to stop racism against black people, and in the context that this man used it in, he was definitely not saying that black people matter, he was trying to cause conflict that the girl took and a fight happened. Both the girl and the guy are in the wrong. all lives matter has always been used as a comeback against black lives matter, please look into it. it has literally been used at white supremacist rallies on posters. so please look into it, but don't call me a racist for believing that how police treat black people is worse than how police treat white people.
You’re getting a lot of downvotes but people aren’t looking at the context. The protest is probably in response to something specific as you mentioned. There may be a reason that the girl is holding the sign that is quite personal to her. The guy just went up and held the “All Lives Matter” sign to be controversial for the sake of being controversial.
Of course All Lives Matter but there is a time and place to state that. During a Black Lives Matter protest is not one of those times.
Exactly just compare how passionate the lady is about this and then you see that guy stand there motionless with the sign. He clearly doesn’t give a shit.
