“Lives matter! If you need a color in front of those words, you’re a racist”

“Black Lives Matter” is the name of an organization and a slogan for a political justice movement. Some people prefer to say that “all lives matter.”
 
“Lives matter! If you need a color in front of those words, you’re a racist” is a meme that has been printed on many images.
 
“LIVES MATTER! If you need a color in front of those words, YOU’RE a racist” was posted on Twitter by Veronika Dobešová on June 14, 2020, and on Twitter by Jeffrey Gallagher later on June 14, 2020. The saying probably originated on an image, but it’s uncertain what the original image is.
