Saying black lives matter, I understand is a way to put the focus on black lives, but what you don't realize it's purpose it to also sideline the rest. Think of it as white lives matter. I bet most people's initial reaction is racists, or white supremacy. I've been reading up on the communist party USA just for fun lately, because of all the marxists on this forum.

No, saying black lives matter was the focus of protest, because the issue at hand was black lives being taken. Saying all lives matter is a way of trying to take the spotlight off the issue at hand.
