I Have a Question

Why do people feel the need to respond to "black lives matter" with "all lives matter!"

What aren't you getting here? It's not about exclusion. It's about bringing attention to a particular group that is being mistreated.

Absolutely there are radicals of any movement that pervert it. But that's not under discussion here unless you feel "black lives matter" as a whole is radical and seeking to reverse the roles.

you can't deny there is higher criminal rate among them than in average.

Sure. Can't argue with stats. But let's blow right by things that contribute to that statistic like socially enforced poor socio-economic status and education and get back to how black people are treated by the justice system.
See, you've made the comment that black people have a higher rate of crime than say white people. But black people also consistently receive harsher punishments than whites for the same crimes. Black people are met with more violence from police officers than white people. As a black man you are twice as like to be shot by police and if you've been watching the news you know that is absolutely not limited to criminals or even armed people.

Nothing wrong with having an opinion. But it should be an informed one. Given your apparent lack of personal experience with the subject i hope i have contributed to that end.
