Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg said Thursday that he was unaware when he said "all lives matter" in 2015 that the phrase was being used to undercut the Black Lives Matter movement.
Buttigieg spoke about his past comment after a speech at the National Action Network, a politically powerful organization founded by Rev. Al Sharpton. The phrase "all lives matter" has been used by critics of the Black Lives Matter movement to push back on the view that closer attention needs to be paid to the deaths of African American men and women at the hand of law enforcement.

Even if he did understand, the melanin-enhanced candidates will still use this issue as a club with which to bludgeon him.

What a weirdo.
BS,lie,fake news and propaganda rolled up in a Obama nugget.
The context being, that all lives matter. That’s it. That’s the entire meaning.
But now he is woke.....all lives don’t matter...how refreshing......collective insanity......
Pete B. started out impressive, authentic and thoughtful. He should've had the courage to explain why so many of us find "Black Lives Matter" to be racist, offensive, and to have done a lot of harm to race relations.
Instead, he knelt to the altar of political correctness. He's through. The maniacs never stop once they get someone to back down once.
This homo is a radical Leftist who talks like Eddie Haskell.
Guess he really does not understand BLACK GUNS MATTER.
I remember when the “All Lives Matter” reaction first emerged, the various organizers of “Black Lives Matter” just went wide-eyed nuts, obviously because “All Lives Matter” might dilute all those profits they knew were coming their way through fundraising and merchandising — though they tried to mask that by acting offended and angry.
The entire liberal population are such blatant fakes.
He must have had his head up someones Butt in 2015.
“All lives matter” is self-evident just as “all men are created equal.”
The left has a problem with both of these statements. The first is supposedly racist, even though the real reason they must distance themselves from such obvious and simple truths is that it exposes their bloodlust on abortion. The second is supposedly misogynistic because it uses the word “men” to mean people.
The left is nuts. They all need to be locked up for their own protection as well as for the continuity of life on this planet.
