The phrase "all lives matter" is deliberately intended to trigger the left in the same way "Black live matter" triggers the right. The stupid thing is, most people agree that all lives, including black live, matter. Yet people are arguing with each other about slogans.
I don't like BLM because they are intentionally racially divisive.
