"Black Lives Matter" as a concept has simply become too tainted by violence to mean what it was originally intended to mean anymore, if it ever did. Now it's just "Any Time A Black Person Dies, We Are Going To Lash Out At Everyone And Everything Around Us Until We Get Bored", and it aggravates me to no end that useful idiots still think otherwise. Lives are being destroyed under this banner, and they outright refuse to believe it.
I was watching a recording of one of Protonjon's recent livestreams, and he goes off for a bit on someone in chat who says "All Lives Matter". To his credit, he does drop the subject quickly and goes back to playing video games, but in that moment I just wanted to slap the stupid out of him. Yes, the black community does have a raw deal; and yes, there are still racists out there giving them a bad time. However; "Black Lives Matter" is a message of hate and division that does not mean what he thinks it means, pure and simple. And unless he can recognize that, he really has no business criticizing someone for saying "All Lives Matter".
