The phrase "All Lives Matter" emerged as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement, which highlights issues of racial inequality and police violence against Black individuals. Supporters of "All Lives Matter" argue that every life is valuable and that the focus should be on universal human rights rather than specific groups. Critics of "All Lives Matter" contend that it can undermine the specific struggles faced by marginalized communities. They believe that acknowledging the unique challenges of Black lives does not diminish the value of other lives but rather emphasizes the need for justice and equality for all.
