I don't understand how this happens. A man speaking felt the need to apologize for saying all lives matter because he got booed for including white people. Backwards world we live in

This is why I hate politicians and protesters
A politician will apologize for anything to get a vote
A protester for being a sheeple and not having there own voice
Shame on all of you

.......O'Malley responded: "Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter."
The demonstrators, who were mostly black, responded by booing him and shouting him down.
Later that day, O'Malley apologized for using the phrase in that context if it was perceived that he was minimizing the importance of blacks killed by police.

In case you didn't notice, white people are bad and everyone else are victims of white people.
"When some people rejoin with 'All Lives Matter' they misunderstand the problem, but not because their message is untrue. It is true that all lives matter, but it is equally true that not all lives are understood to matter, which is precisely why it is most important to name the lives that have not mattered, and are struggling to matter in the way they deserve," Butler said in an interview with The New York Times. "If we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, 'all lives matter,' then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of 'all lives.'"

You must be a politician or one of the protesters to believe such things.

People who divide us by skin pigment lives don't matter.
