Black Lives matter implies that other lives don't. Saying All Lives matter has no negative connotation, unless you aren't speaking English.

Donna Brazile explains it: when someone says ALL lives matter, it can sound like that person is dismissing the specific pain behind the slogan. And that is something that the young people organizing in community after community cannot easily tolerate. They have been to too many funerals. They have seen too many of these horrific videos watching their friends die right in front of their own eyes.
Of course ALL lives matter. But there is no serious question about the value of the life of a young white girl or boy. Sadly, there is a serious question -- between gang violence and this police violence -- about the value of the life of a young black girl or boy. So those who are experiencing the pain and trauma of the black experience in this country don't want their rallying cry to be watered down with a generic feel-good catchphrase.

"Police violence" is really such a small factor in deaths of african americans, or anyone for that matter, that its really insignificant.
Gang violence on the other hand is a very serious issue, but that is liked more to poverty than a specific race(correlation not causation).

It only does because you've decided it does. There's nothing in that statement that makes it exclude anyone. Seeing as "black lives" is a subset of "all lives" the statement "black lives matter" is not mutually exclusive with "all lives matter".

You're taking what was just said out of context. It's dishonest and quite frankly beneath you.
O Malley was talking. Protestors stormed in shouting "black lives matter." He responded that Black lives matter brown lives matter all lives matter. He was then shouted down. Taking nothing out of context.

You wouldn't know that given some of the racist behavior of people chanting "Black lives matter". They've definitely been making it out that its somehow white people's fault.
