“Notice that no one was saying ‘All Lives Matter’ before people started saying ‘Black Lives Matter.’ So ‘All Lives Matter’ is a response to ‘Black Lives Matter.’ Apparently, something about the statement ‘Black Lives Matter’ makes us uncomfortable. Why is that?”

“[Black Lives Matter] reminds us of our whiteness and challenges our notion that race doesn’t matter... 'Black Lives Matter' makes us uncomfortable. Why? Because it reminds us that race exists. It reminds us that our experience as white people is very different from the experience of Black people in this country. It reminds us that racism is alive and well in the United States of America.”
