they think uppity black people should just get with the program. Well fuck that and fuck them.

I recommend this post because I suspect many people know that there is a very clear message that is being sent when somebody utters the phrase all lives matter, and those people IMO are not doing so out of plain ignorance.

A recent meme by conservatives is "Blue Lives Matter" but when shown the Conservative, Christian, Patriot militia member (Oregon) calling for his fellow conservatives to come shoot (kill) police, they run away when they cannot show many (any?) conservatives proclaiming "Blue Lives Matter".

Apparently it's ok with our conservatives to kill police when it is conservatives encouraging/requesting it.

That "Blue Lives" is a logical fallacy.
Being a cop is a choice.
Being black isn't
QED.

If their lives only mattered if they were born something, you would have a point.

You don't. People born black matter. People who choose to be police and serve society matter.
