The bitter irony of all this is that Black Lives Matter has probably done more to harm the lives of black people in the United States than any other organization in the last twenty years.
 
Things only matter to people, so the question should be to whom do black lives matter.
 
Of course they matter! Here at Racism Incorporated, we believe all black lives matter, I mean without these pavement apes we would be out of business!

Racism Incorporated happily supports black lives matter, keep on looting and shooting my melanin rich individuals, and we will stay in the golden age for the Company!
 
It's odd. There's a lot of black on black violence, the neighborhood stays quiet when there's crime or a killing and there's as much discrimination within their own people... but once something happens akin to Rodney King or George Floyd then they're as united as can be. Not even my own kind does stuff like this. No decent person deserves to die, regardless of their ethnicity/color. When it comes to the ones that aren't... I sure won't miss them when they're gone.
 
No. Practically, black lives are pretty disposable IRL and the people with the most power over black lives (blacks) throw them away like used cans of hair grease.
 
No life has inherent value. Nature kills all.
 
Every day the media and corporations force "Black Lives Matter" down our throats. So it made me try to think of a time where black lives actually mattered.
 
A life matters insofar as said life improves the world around them in some fashion. Some lives matter more than others, simply because they are more impactful on their world. Someone who creates an important medicine or procedure that eliminates a deadly disease or other debilitating condition, for example. Some (most, perhaps) people are a net loss to their world.

Black lives, as a generalized rule, cannot matter, because "black" is not a person. "Black" has done nothing of note. "Black" has no major contributions to world betterment to its name. "Black" is a color, a concept, inanimate and inert, possessing no will or desire, exercising no real influence on the world around it.
