Damn I like being boring. 
What specific issues do you have with the wikipedia article? Are you claiming that linguistic re appropriation doesnāt exist?
ā¦only for some. I canāt think of a word that I felt the need toā¦re-appropriate?
BTW, none of the articles Iām reading include the claim that the father was present during the shooting.
Consider yourself lucky, or most likely, privileged.

Yeahā¦I know. Hard workā¦is a privilege. Saying, āI willā and then actually keeping that oath is a privilege. Getting up, every morning at 5:00 and starting workā¦is a privilege. Honoring debts of need, while sacrificing my wantsā¦is a privilege. Telling the truth is a privilege. Being punctualā¦ok, ok, okā¦ignore that one.

How is saying all lives matter a slur? They need their ass beat for saying that?
I canāt even begin to express how far off the rails that is!
Nobody āyelled a slurā.
Hard work means nothing, youāre just lucky. 
Another person who didnāt read the article or the thread.
The N word was said by the group the murdered woman was a part of. Thatās what started the altercation.
It was said according to the boyfriendās story in the article you didnāt read.

No. It has to do with not being part a group that was enslaved and had racist names used against them for hundreds of years.
No where in any of the stories is it being reported it was shouted by or at anyone, it was said in conversation among one group and someone in another group overheard it and took umbrage with it and started a confrontation.
Feel free to say it as much as you want. 
Why did this woman think āAll Lives Matterā was an appropriate response to āBlack Lives Matterā?
Well that is a word i would never use but it doesnāt give anyone the right to murder someone.
If that claim is even true to start with.
According to the boyfriend.

Thanks for finally understanding the story. It wasnāt āall lives matterā that started the altercation. It was the N word.
Of course this is according to the boyfriends of the murdered woman. Iād love to hear the other side.

Why would I start using a word now I find offensive?
What is wrong with it? It seems a fine thing to say. I would say all lives matter including the unborn myself.
Donāt see why that should anger anyone.
