The lesson of "black lives matter" is "context matters"! "Mattering" is relative...x matters HOW? To whom? When and why figure in, too. Ultimately, nothing matters, logically, since it's impossible to identify lost value without perspective! Who does "existence" matter to?! In other words, if existence ended, who would (be left to) care--it wouldn't make any difference. You can't say, "Now that I don't exist, I realize how much fun existence was"! Something "matters" when its loss/absence is important TO SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY! Words take much of their meaning from their contexts. In its absence, context will be embellished into existence by the listener--we hate shit that doesn't make sense. Sloganeering is offensive, intellectually--but, emotionally titillating...
