Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement?

Well…yes and no.

Yes there was a point, but that wasn’t the correct time to complain about that problem. It’s silly to me to try to compare police violence against white lives vs black lives. There is a biased based on facts. Black Lives Matter highlighted this difference, but people argued ‘against’ the message with a bad faith argument of ‘All Lives Matter’. The whole point was black lives are being killed more often than they should be, so black lives matter, also. Not that the are the only lives that matter. To paraphrase Michael Che, if you see someone with a 9/11 never forget shirt just say “excuse me, but all buildings matter.”

Dem outreach to whites or white youth is a different topic from police reform. It should be anyway.
