To write a sentence along the lines of "if black lives really matter then it should be proven to me by XXXX" is pretty shameful to be honest. Black lives do matter, your whattaboutery at its worst doesn't change that.
I didn't come up with the black lives matter slogan that's not down to me, the point I was trying to make was why protest in the UK right now for George Floyd when we have a couple of black lives every week being stabbed and killed.
Also we're in a global pandemic of the likes we have never seen, so right now more than ever life matters, the last thing we need is thousands turning up and grouping together, it's a little contradictory.
