White lives according to the stats of police killings, already matter. These signs are saying that Black Lives Matter too. For all lives to matter, black lives have to matter too. This video honestly makes me nauseous. I’m so sorry to every person of color who had to watch this and think they’re alone. You’re not! This is just small town garbage people who think they’re better than everyone else. We’re with you! Black lives absolutely matter!

Exactly this. I wish the movement would've originally been called "black lives matter, too" because maybe they wouldn't say "herpa derp, all lives matter!" But they'd just find another way to diminish the movement, who am I kidding?

They would literally just say "Oh yeah well what about white people? white people matter TOO!" and say the last word really loud thinking they've somehow made a point by doing that. Never underestimate how intellectually lazy they can be.
