Yes.
Even black lives?
I suppose they're covered by "all", so yes.
Then say it.
Say what?
Black lives matter.

The lives of black people weren't even on the minds of the "all lives matter" crowd before hand.

Our conservatives have many more guns than black folks do.

Then we have republican Michelle Fiore.
