White and Blue lives have never not mattered --- never --- NOT EVER. Black lives have seldom mattered. That is the issue right now. The best way I have ever heard it put is below.
If my wife comes to me in obvious pain and asks "Do you love me?" an answer of "I love everyone." would be truthful but hurtful and cruel in the moment.
If a co-worker comes to me iupset and says "My father just died." an answer of "Everyone's parents die." would be truthful but hurtful and cruel in the moment.
So when a friend speaks up in a time of obvious pain and hurt and says "Black lives matter." an answer of "All lives matter." would be truthful but hurtful and cruel in the moment.

There is a whole lot of "hurt and cruelty" happening right now that just keeps making matters worse.
