If the All Lives Matter crowd actually said what they mean, they might be taken more seriously

Their interaction is an obscure dance where they mostly rotate around the circumference of the issues on opposite sides, hurling slogans and cheap statistics at one another and well, it’s more exhausting to endure than attending a Greek wedding with an infinite number of plates. As a point of departure, I think the oft-employed torts of saying “#AllLivesMatter is like screaming all cancers matter at a breast cancer awareness drive” or “…like saying all children matter at the funeral of a particular child” is dismissively silly. Why? Because all those retorts do not address the underlying premise of #AllLivesMatter and yet the people on that side are too afraid to say it.

So focusing on resolving injustice by means of the race criteria has its merit along with its critique but the #AllLivesMatter chaps and chappettes seem to remain afraid of pushing that critique, offering a slogan instead.

All lives matter. Quite clear

Orchestrated chaos
