I replied, I answered your question and I meant every word of what I said. I find this kind of thing incredibly tiresome because I don't believe for a second that anyone with any modicum of intelligence genuinely can't understand why the slogan 'All Lives Matter' is totally inappropriate in relation to recent events.

Consider this: if somebody asked you to make a donation to a charity in the fight against breast cancer or prostate cancer, would you refuse to donate because you believe all cancers matter? If someone asked you to support a campaign to save the Brazilian rainforests, would you be opposed because you think all forests should be saved? If somebody asked you to back a campaign against fox hunting, would you refuse on the grounds that you're opposed to all hunting? If somebody asked you to sign a petition to save the whales, would you be loathe to do so because all mammals matter? Are you opposed to charities like Save the Children or Help the Aged because you think all humans should be assisted regardless of their age or circumstances?

All Lives Matter is not only a cop-out but in most cases it's very deliberately pernicious. I have no doubt about that whatsoever.
