The value of a Black Life needs to appreciate. Black lives matter isnt a function of All Lives Matter. All Lives Matter is not a thing...there is nothing there, so its not like BLM was a reaction to it.
BLM is a reaction to the higher-order values that ALM flows from. The sort of values which function to ignore injustice and perpetuate white supremacy. Of course all lives matter. Which is why I say to you, Black Lives Matter! It correctly identifies a problem so that leaders in white and black and diverse communities can actually do something about it. It's not abstract; people are dying.
