For those who truly believe that all lives matter - well if you really believe that, then you won't have any problem with someone saying black lives matter. Unless you don't think their lives matter, and you're just spewing a phrase that sounds good to you.
The phrase "all lives matter" is a dogwhistle to white nationalists. It has been for awhile now. But perhaps people living in the bubble don't know that. I'm going to just assume that's so, because I would really hate to think that this forum is loaded with white nationalists.

"All Lives Matter" a Dog Whistle to white nationalist ? Who is the one who keeps track of all the Dog Whistle's? That inference may be an attempt to transfer responsibility from the intent of the discussion.
One should rest their mind of fear that the forum is loaded with white nationalists. It is not.
Voicing concern to the following in a normal world with normal people should be considered patriotic. Protests that are really riots, throwing rocks at police, burning public and private property including churches, breaking & entering & stealing, destruction of public statues. Weekly activities in Chicago do not seem to recognize that BLM. That is anarchy. These are actions that are devastating and have no productive purpose. It doesn't matter if done by by black or white. It is simply wrong and should be stopped.
Makes one suspect that supporting these type of activities is far more worrisome than someone saying "All Lives Matter."
Isn't it plain that "ALL" includes "ALL" when Black doesn't mean "ALL". One statement is all inclusive. The other is truly racist. Are we really ready to permit that BLM signs should be allowed to be posted everywhere, but if anyone wants to say "ALL" that is to be condemned?
