Wow, most of those who replied "yes, all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter" are bigots?Read carefully, please.
All lives matter.
As a stand alone comment, this is perfectly accurate and carries no other meaning.
However, when uttered in response to someone saying "black lives matter" in the context with which the phrase has been used, it is a passive aggressive statement most often issued by bigots. It's not a very difficult concept to grasp.....for those of average intelligence who wish to grasp it.
I wonder if the Democratic presidential candidates are among those "most" you refer to?
This is why leftists have lost their marbles on identity politics. Invariably they'll twist a word so far off its original semantic to square circles that only the vacuous and neurotic could fall for it.
"All lives matter" might be a pertinent reply in a climate when cops are being targeted in retribution of this string of incidents---some legitimate (e.g. NY & Baltimore), some not (Ferguson.) If the self-appointed speakers of "the black community" wanted to be taken seriously on the issue, then yes black-on-black violence is fair game to bring up. Reality just doesn't cooperate with the myth/hyperbole they would perpetrate. They've been called out on their skewed slant, not by conservatives but their liberal caucus mates who tried to gently nudge them off a rhetorical ledge they can't defend.
Speaking of statistics:
Black Lives Matter Or All Lives Matter? - Rasmussen Reports™
Now let's reflect on your accusation of bigotry and see what that infers with those statistics.
