A common response to the Black Lives Matter movement has been "All Lives Matter." I get why people are saying this. Of course, all lives matter. But they're missing the point.
So let's do this. If you're response to Black Lives Matter is all lives matter, then I want you to go and tell the police that all lives matter. And tell them that all lives include Black lives. So perhaps they should stop treating Black people as if their lives don't matter. Because...wait for it...Black Lives Matter too. See how easy that was.
