I'd admire Hillary Clinton. She's done the impossible in making me think that voting for Trump could be a good idea.

Any words can be perverted - I guess that's one problem with living in a soundbite society - the truth behind words is often lost in the layers of association attached to a particular truism or slogan.

I get the controversy and it is both slippery and quite underhand the way that the seemingly innocuous 'All Lives Matter' has been appropriated in this circumstance, but for me there's a much bigger story of global suffering and iniquity driven by the same forces that maintain the status quo in your country (i'm assuming you're American here). So I, personally, feel quite justified in stating 'All Lives Matter'. Whether Floyd is or not in the tangled arguments over the use of a meme is for you and your compatriots to decide.
