The Real Reason White People Say All Lives Matter
The Rhetorical Analysis
After reading “The Real Reason White People Say ‘All Lives Matter,’” by Josh Halstead, and “Enough Already with ‘All Lives Matter,’” by Jeffrey Kluger, we are exposed to the rhetoric of the All Lives Matter movement, a direct response to BLM.
