I'm allowed to sometimes be immature.
Geesh, spoiled sport.
Id just like to point out that not a single person has attempted to answer why they feel required to say all lives matter when someone says black lives matter but not under any other circumstance.
When I hear black lives matter I think "this is an emotion that the black community is having for various reasons, some of which might be very valid complaints that we should consider."
I can't imagine my first thought being "nope, screw you guys! how dare you try to make a point!"
This mindset that we need to get rid of is exactly why MLK, now world renown as the epitome of the peaceful protester, was constantly accused of inciting racial hatred and violence, even being investigated by the FBI for it.
People are looking for reasons to separate us and to make the others seem far more violent and separatist than they really are. It's disgusting.
