When people say black lives matter, the response should not be “all lives matter.” While, yes, all lives are precious and do matter, saying "all lives matter" gives the idea that all lives are in danger during interactions with police officers and all lives are marginalized, which is impossible. The BLM are not here to say that the lives of black men and women are superior
