What's wrong with "All lives matter"?

I mean... It's true, right? Every life matters! I don't see what's wrong...

Special snowflakes lives matter too.

It ignores and trivializes the fact that there are people in society who are often treated as if their lives don't matter. It is basically answering a pretty powerful statement about basic human equality with "I don't care."

@KaliKali: Like our POTUS says Black lives should matter! Law enforcement ignores innocence and demands immediate compliance even when someone is handicapped and they use immediate lethal force.

The way I see it all lives matter was created as a way to take down black lives matter. Most white people don't see it that way and I had the same mind set. I didn't see it as a discredit of black lives matter till someone explained it to me and I felt so stupid.

@shadowplay: That sounds a bit too conspitorial for me. If BLM is not used as a method to legitimize real concerns than more militant groups will form. BLM is a legitimate organization with with solid founding. It would be best to use then like the NAACP to get a more solid footing in communitiy stability.

@Pfuzylogic: yeah i don't think the people in Ferguson will agree. if you can't see what's coming you should wake up.i live in rural america ,the only thing people see is things like ferguson ,they have nothing to counteract the bad they see .no black leaders calling for peace ,just people in the midst of a riot ,shouting burn that bitch down ! quote of the gentle giants father. they see sharpton and jackson inciting the violence . they react to what they see blm people doing .they are just another hate group . open season on whites is one slogan they use and you see them as a legitimate force to be dealt with?

The good people will have very little impact on this. I can see the challenge involved in understanding the rue dynamics involved in resolving this.

It is a lame mimic of a real movement and there is no organization.
Look it up at Wikipedia. They treat it like it should be treated. They ignore it.
You're answer clarified the question. Thanks.

I don't think all lives matter. The life of a rapist or terrorist doesn't matter. At all.
Yes every life does matter.
Don't say "All lives matter", you have to be edgy and liberal leaning and find and see everything as racist now a days! and not think for yourself :P lol Black Lives Matter group that group is a joke, more like "Black Olives Matter" :)

Normal people understand that. People who make a living out of playing the "victim" will try to convince you otherwise.
Some people don't view others as worthy of living, much less pursuing their own happiness.
