But What’s wrong with all lives matter?

So my life doesn’t matter?

Every race. Every human being on this planet matters. As long as you’re not mean and racist.

Nothing is wrong with thinking that all lives matter; it’s about the meaning behind that term. It is nothing more than a silencing technique. Nobody said “All lives matter” until we started saying Black Lives Matter. We say it because we have been dehumanized for centuries; we know we’re human beings, we just want everyone else to know.

All lives matter is both inherently racist and mean.
