So... When Hillary Clinton said (rather flustered) that All Lives Matter, she was saying it to be racist? Glad you were able to clear her intent up for the rest of us.

She likely said it because she calculated that it was more important to get votes from X portion of the population rather than Y portion of the population that would vote for her anyways. I didn't say anything about being racist in my comment, but I think it's pretty clear that the only reason #AllLivesMatter became a slogan was because people were uncomfortable with BLM. And I don't think it is a big stretch to suggest that people's documented subconscious biases against black people had something to do with the rise of that slogan.
