I feel like "all lives matter" wouldn't be so problematic if people had been saying that before "black lives matter" was a thing.
It's the way it was so blatantly done in response to #blacklivesmatter, because some people had their arses in their hands and felt they weren't included. Meanwhile people are getting killed out there, while your biggest concern is that nobody said your life matters (when it already does, everywhere).

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
