All Lives Matter is a insenstive phrase that is used to often. There is no doubt about that fact that every human life DOES matter. That however is not the context of the current situation. Black People have been opressed since the White Man found them. They are tired of being killed and harmed without cause. It is important to bring attention to this specific group of people and not all. BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Exactly, all lives will not matter until black lives matter. If all lives matter then why are black people being brutally killed for their skin colour. Black people have suffered and been oppressed for decades. Now is not the time to be silent. Fight for justice. Black lives matter!
So if a white man were shot by a police officer, it wouldn't matter? But if a African American were shot by a police officer, the whole world goes to heck all while the white man goes unnoticed. This is racism whether we like it or not. We need justice for all. I will admit that what was done in the past was wrong and is being fixed in society as we speak, but in the current day and age, all races and religions are not being taken care of. This is why all lives matter, not just black lives. If a person were to kill an African American individual and another to kill a white individual, both cases should be treated the same in order to rid society of this racism on both sides of the spectrum. The statement should be changed into all lives matter if it were truly fighting against racism.
Execpt it would not. If a white man was shot his killer would be prosecuted to hell. If a black man was shot nothing would happen. Its time to face the music and change how our system is. Black lives matter right now. They are opressed and killed more than any other race ( Im not saying any other race is less at all time to bring attention to this specific matter ) So lets stop " admitting" we did something wrong grow up and understand the situation.
@Lee Scott, it's not so much about the actual crime committed white people are killed without cause all the time just like POC but when a white person is killed justice is served almost all the time the justice system is a racist system considering its lack of justice served to people of color. all lives matter is a fact but all lives aren't being treated equally and that's what BLM is its striving for equality for minorities in this case people of color
There is no such thing as Colour all the people in America are classed as Americans,so LAW first Colour second and then any LAW abiding lives will matter that obey the LAW.
@DavidJonesGould What if the law was made to favour a group because of the their skin colour and to disfavour others for the same reason? Correction, there is a such thing as colour, unfortunately. Look at the statistics of the group of people that are currently incarcerated only. The truth is that the law system is imbalance. It's a system of oppression against the minority. You can't build a palace in the middle of turmoil and enjoy it quietly. There isn't a black live or a white live, there is only one live of which we are all a part of. What's happening is out of pure ignorance against appearances. I never understood why we hold high traditions. I believe traditions are made to be broken when we discover a new truth about them. The behaviour of today's stem from past believes and unfortunately majority of those believes are based on ignorance (lack of knowledge, self knowledge). Education is the key to awakening the mind from all this false believes that are causing the chaos.
"On the most extreme use of force –officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account."

The above study that was completed in 2016 found that there was no racial bias when it came to lethal police shootings.
It did however, find that black people were more likely to be subject to non lethal force. I agree that we need to change that.
However the premise that Black people are more likely to be killed by Police is simply untrue.
bro just reform police and make it a societal norm that being racist is stupid and that all races are equal and then you win
one hundred percent agreed they say alm and they are so ignorant that they can't see the racism in front of them its insane
