"All Lives Matter" is the new "Not All Men." (Or maybe it's the other way around, depending on which came first.)
I.e. it's a pointlessly obvious thing to say, which actually actively detracts from the real message of the #BlackLivesMatter movement (or the #MeToo movement, in the case of "Not All Men"), and it makes you look like a real asshole for saying it, especially depending on how you say it or mean it.
(EDIT)
Oh, and speaking of assholes, the biggest, stinkiest, most diarrhetic asshole in the country right now, also known as Donald Trump, just this morning equated protesters with "anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes," after he had previously equated them with "terrorists." This is coming from the so-called President of the United States of America. The sooner this asshole is permanently removed from any position of power, the better off everyone in the world will be, and the sooner we can maybe start repairing all the damage that has been done by him and by like-minded assholes.
