> You mean white people also getting killed by the police? Good question.
Where was the campaign against white people getting killed by the police (or vigilantes! the original campaign was in re Trayvon Martin, who was killed by George Zimmerman) before 2013, or indeed in the present day?

Where was the campaign against sex abuse in Hollywood before metoo as well? Now imagine women in metoo telling men to shut up about sex assault because metoo is only for female victims?
This is the difference between a unifying movement and a divisive one. Especially when the latter is making a loud point about silencing anybody that attempts at broader reach. "Respect all lives", "End police brutality" doesn't make the case for black lives weaker at first place.

This is a very bad example, as there's always a "what about male victims of sexual assault" faction that only appears when a women makes an allegation and doesn't actually do anything for male victims of sexual assault.
> "Respect all lives", "End police brutality" doesn't make the case for black lives weaker at first place.
Those are fine. It's the specific confrontational wording: a group of people saying "we matter" confronted with "no, you're not special, stop saying the word Black, it makes us uncomfortable".

but "all lives matter" isn't fine? as for the rest of your sentence, that's not what is happening. What is happening is people specifically telling others that "white people lives don't matter, as white lives" as quoted from the article I linked, which you did not address.

No, this is a perfect example as to how to come with a slogan that pushes unity instead of strife, when a phenomenon concerns everybody.
