“All Lives Matter”, as a matter of (fairly recent) historical fact that is widely recognized by both most people using it and most people hearing it, was coined as a direct dismissal of “Black Lives Matter” and its message that there is a need for recognition of an accountability for aggressions against black people.

(While we’re in the neighborhood, “Blue Lives Matter” has a similar origin, with added cynicism given the long-standing widespread social and institutional hyper-response to any harm to police, much less fatal harm.)
