You obviously cherry picked the purple part and took it out of context to try
to prove your point and to vilify me in the process.  
You failed on both points.

I think more must be said as to why a shirt labeled "All Lives Matter" would
cause this to be disturbing to some black people. For such a shirt to cause
conflict or to be viewed as belittling shows obvious ignorance and why is
that? Is it because some lack the education or the necessary understanding to
correctly process the true meaning? or are they so conditioned by living in the
ghetto that this uncontrolled rage is a way of life for some?

Furthermore why do "White Neighborhoods" post Black Lives Matter signs in
their front yard. It is obvious as to why they do that. So if one of these so
called "peaceful protests" develop; they think that this sign will act as
shield and protect their home and keep their windows from being smashed.
