Saying all lives matter shouldnt be an issue either. If everyone only picks one group to promote then racism is going to thrive, as it is currently.

Yeah, exactly. It's my opinion that 99.999% of people who say "All lives matter" are well-meaning when they say it. People in my country were posting that hashtag on social media to support African Americans and got REAMED for it and none of them could even understand why these randos from America were attacking them. A lot of them are so confused they think they got attacked by like KKK members/white supremacists who hate black people, because they do not understand how anyone can oppose "all lives matter" they are interpreting the backlash to mean that the people who disagree with "all lives matter" are saying "black lives don't matter." Trying to explain SJW logic to them is exhausting. (Yes, I get it, all lives matter but we are focusing on the black lives right now, please nobody explain it to me, I get it.) But the backlash to "all lives matter" is just overkill. People are using it as an excuse to be assholes when all they really have to do is relax and explain, the explanation takes less that two seconds if you do it right and don't use it as an opportunity to wank off about how woke you are.

The thing is they aren't REALLY focused on black lives. It's only black lives killed by white police which is a yearly number you can count on both hands and not run out of fingers. A lot of people in the US wanted the all lives matter slogan because it was more inclusive for fighting police brutality which is really a class issue. The most accurate slogan would be "poor lives matter. The rich people funding BLM don't like that one though.

The reason some Americans say "All Lives Matter" is because they disagree with the premise that black lives don't matter.

Yeah, exactly! There is this one reality TV star, Ramona Singer from Real Housewives of New York, and she dared to say "All Lives Matter" and the fans ripped her apart. This is an elderly senior citizen woman who has no idea what's going on on the internet. I believe she genuinely just meant that all lives matter to her, and there was no (((dogwhistle))) anti-black/pro-white message like the fans who attacked her were implying. The truth is, a lot of non-black people feel more comfortable saying "all lives matter" because they are trying to send the message of "we are all the same, and I am with you." But this message is being viciously misinterpreted for the sake of drama and conflict. (And it's not black people doing the "misinterpreting", it's other white people who want to do a performance art of being woke.)

Wokeholes are defined by victimhood, therefore any statement that repudiates victimhood is an affront to the meaning of their existence. Perhaps this is largely an American phenomenon, but I think this is also pervasive in Western Europe and Oceana.
