If 'all lives matter' is the campaign you're getting behind, then get behind that, but you can do it without taking the shine off the people campaigning for what's important to them.

The argument is apparently that events have suggested that since black people have been the victims int he majority of what the public believe to be unjustified homicides by the police. therefore evente suggest Black lives matter less than those of other races. There's a logic to that argument but in attempting to 'own' the issue in this way, it becomes about race, when in fact it should be about making their police forces properly responsible for their actions generally and ensuring if you give someone a gun and (essentially) give them the right to shoot people int he street with it, you d better make sure a) you do it for the right people and b) you properly train them.

BTW,If you think there's nobody playing identity politics with this, consider the fact here was a 'Black Lives Matter' March in Manchester at the weekend. A city in which no black person has ever been shot by a police officer as far as I can find out and indeed one where there have been more police officers shot by civilians in the last 30 years than vice versa.

The rest of the western world isn't much better.

Supermarkets often only accept "perfect" fruit and vegetables. If a banana or cucumber has a natural curve in it, you know, like we've had since time immemorial, then they are rejected. Although in Germany there seems to be a consumer rebellion going on, some supermarkets are experimenting with selling "imperfect" fruit and vegetables at slightly lower prices and they are selling better than the "perfect" stock.
