PEOPLE ARE USING HOUSTON TO CRITICIZE 'ALL LIVES MATTER'

Hurricane Harvey has sparked a conversation about "All lives matter" on social media in relation to what's happened in Houston.

If you're not familiar with the phrase "All lives matter," it emerged in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. In the ongoing discussion regarding Hurricane Harvey and Houston, people are now using the phrase "All cities matter" on social media to illustrate what they feel is the empty and counterintuitive perspective of "All lives matter" supporters.
