For anyone that wonders why people feel the need to say "black lives matter," it's because MILLIONS of racist, intolerant, hateful people in this country still feel that black people are less-than. Here is an example of that racism and hatred.
This video is simply a white man holding up a BLM sign in Harrison, Arkansas, and he records the reactions of people driving past. I can't embed the video because there are so many N-word comments.
I can't imagine how black people feel when they see things like this.

For an experiment, it wood be interesting to shoot the same video but with a poster "All Lives Matter' somewhere in Harlem, Bronx, Detroit, Flint,..
Someone actually did do this. They held up a BLM sign in a more affluent area and in general was just ignored.
They held up an ALM sign in a predominantly poorer neighborhood and was almost killed. One person actually came up to him and warned him that he was likely going to get hurt.
Saying "All Lives Matter" gets translated into F you to African Americans. So do it at your own risk.
