Buttigieg Promises He Will No Longer Say ‘All Lives Matter’ Now That He Understands What It Means
Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg said on Thursday that when he used the phrase “all lives matter” in a 2015 speech he did not understand it had been adopted by critics to devalue the Black Lives Matter movement.
Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and fast-rising 2020 White House candidate, told reporters he had not used the phrase again once he became aware it was sometimes used to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement to fight police violence and racism against African-Americans.
Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, Florida, who last week declared his own bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, criticized Buttigieg on Thursday for his use of the “all lives matter” phrase.
“‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean that all lives do not matter, rather it is a cry for equal treatment in the greater circle of justice for all Americans,” said Messam, who is African-American.

To Liberal Democrats the lives of all American Citizens no longer matter its the lives of illegal aliens who vote for them that matters
If it were really a cry for equal treatment as he claims, the slogan would be Black Lives Matter Too.
Well hey, nothing like that inclusion and celebration of diversity from the prog/lefties. Rock on.
"Buttigieg Promises...He Understands What It Means"
Of course he understands what it means; votes from Americans of African descent.

How dare you “people” disrespect him? You are are going to hell. Jesus told me so.
BLM is based on an entirely false premise.
Undermining it is a good thing.
However, people don't care about facts anymore - they only care about feelings and perceptions.
