What he said was ridiculously ignorant given the fact that he did NO research on the topic at all. Why the hell would you comment on something you don't know ANYTHING about?

Because he took the term as face value. I'm not going to blame him. It's not a wildly specific term that has one connotation and one connotation only. I've already explained that it means a different thing to me than it would to someone who has no black sympathy.
And I know you didn't call anyone racist but

To say #AllLivesMatter is a deliberate attempt to detract from the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Zac knows what the correct hashtag is—his decision to include #AllLivesMatter as if any other race has any relevance to what's going on is deliberate and ignorant.

Isn't this jumping to conclusions? Not realizing some people think differently than a group of white racists does? Isn't Doc calling Zac racist?
Anyway, my point is that it's important to look at an individual's message and true intent - not to go crazy over the use of a single hashtag. If you think he's trying to draw attention away from the Black struggle, drag him for all he's worth. But I don't see that viewpoint justified properly. I just see it justified based on a single hashtag. That's not a healthy way to look at it.
