The word that gets omitted at the end of the phrase "Black Lives Matter" is "[i]too[/i]"
People who for some reason feel a need to [i][b]counter[/b][/i] such a statement, with something like "White Lives Matter" are either too thick to realize that, or they fully realize it but want to [i][b]diminish[/b][/i] the original phrase (so the question becomes [b][i]why[/i][/b] do the countering people want to diminish it?)
Why does the BLM phrase trigger you? Why do you take it to mean that no other lives matter? How do you overlook the context (both recent and historic) that generated the phrase to begin with?
If we'd been living in a true "All Lives Matter" society for the last 400 years, white people would've never have to be reminded or had it pointed out to them that Black lives also matter too in the first place. This is not rocket science. And it's not rocket science that trying to diminish "Black lives matter" by instantly countering with "white lives matter" is just a cousin of saying that the US civil war was not about slavery, and the confederate flag is only about heritage (of what?), not hate

@BlueGreenGrey well it never was or is printed or says Black lives matter too. Just Black lives matter. It makes it out to be that all of them have been put up on by white people. They are the only ones who ever had slaves in there heritage. The statement should have been" all lives matter ". from the beginning. I personally don't have a problem with any race unless they try to think an act as they're better than any other race in America.
