It's pretty simple, folks. *The statement "Black Lives Matter" obviously has an implied "too" at the end. *The retort "All Lives Matter" is a statement in bad faith. Implies that all lives are equally at risk. They're not. And if you can't see why, I really can't help you.

@rohan_connolly @plalor Maybe just say exactly what is meant, rather than needing something to be implied?!

@BSmiles43 @plalor Mate you'd have to be pretty thick not to be able to work it out. Or you didn't want to.

@rohan_connolly However if people learn that all lives matter, black lives won’t be more at risk. Separating based on colour is racist. When people learn to stop treating someone differently just because of colour, the world becomes a better place. Separating like this just enforces difference

@JasonSman21 Sorry mate, but that's a really naive take. Naive because it operates from the assumption we're all at the same starting line. We're not. And most people retorting with "All Lives Matter" do so because they're actually pissed off that black people are raising the issue at all.

@rohan_connolly @Rowdy__One The statement "All Lives Matter" obviously has an implied "and that is inclusive of Black, Brown, Yellow, White and Pink" at the end. It's pretty simple, folks.

@PhoozeG @Rowdy__One Except it doesn't, numbnuts. It's simply the sort of pathetic "what about me?" exercise you'd expect from the sort of fuckwit who'd have a timeline full of Covid conspiracy theories and a pic of Trump as an avatar. Cheers.

@rohan_connolly I like how you use the phrase "bad faith", when the concept of all lives mattering equally is a Christian belief. You're saying to treat groups of people differently because of your own personal perception of some kind of racial risk factor. A racial hierarchy that you act on.

@rohan_connolly All lives can't matter until black lives matter, it's basic logic.

@rohan_connolly Ideally all lives should matter, but in the real world some lives do matter more than others. We Asians are not feeling very comfortable about BLM because it didn't include us but ALM do. In reality, American/Australian blacks are in a higher position than many in Asia.

@rohan_connolly @LeighRMatthews here is why all lives matter statement is attrocious. Mate I'm a Hawks fan and regard you as one of the best in the sport. Surely you researched you opponent before you played them? Why wouldn't you do the same with that statement?

@rohan_connolly It's the swimming pool analogy. The lives of those drowning matter more than those that aren't.
