This cartoon, released during the Black Lives Matter protest, makes a similar point:<img src="https://platform.vox.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/4027016/all%20lives%20matter%20cartoon.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Yes, of course what the USA has done in Gaza, Venezuela, Afghanistan, etc., has been awful but it isn't the issue at hand and by trying to shift the focus elsewhere, it just lets Trump off the hook.</blockquote>
