We don't treat single diseases. We treat them all.
And, we sure as hell don't burn the hospital down.
It's worth mentioning when someone suggests that some lives may not matter as much by exclusion.
but the idea is that when time and resources and energy is spent on treating a single disease, you don't actively attempt to undermine those efforts by trying to redirect the conversation.

Everyone knows all lives matter. It is not worth mentioning.

I believe ALL lives matter.......and I think if one limits a slogan like that to just one color----be that white lives--or black lives---or whatever that is exclusionary.....and that in itself is discriminatory...which is the definition of racism. So while saying BLACK LIVES MATTER is done to not sound racist......it actually is.

@anythingoes477 No.
Several months ago, a black man said, "It means Black Lives Matter, TOO." And if you are white, like I am, you do NOT know what it is like to be pulled over, questioned, given scared or "what are YOU doing HERE?" or "what are you trying to steal?" looks, etc., your whole life, just because of genetic differences in melatonin, hair, noses, lips...
We white persons have all kinds of validation of our worth, all around us.
Blacks have not had that.
