But it doesn't need to be said in relation to white people since nobody has ever questioned whether they matter. White people as a group have never been treated as if they didn't matter.

It DOES need to be said in relation to black people who have been treated like less than. So please people don't try to be fair with an issue that just plan isn't fair!

P.S. You can get away with saying: BLACK LIVES AND WHITE WOMENS LIVES MATTER. But that's a bit awkward!

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]The person is saying all HOUSES matter while waterhosing the house that ISN'T on fire.

It is making a point that black lives are the ones that are not being valued as much as white lives and that saying "all lives matter" is like ignoring the house that is on fire to save the house that isn't in danger.[/font]
