A small crowd of protesters gathered outside of the NAACP office headquarters in Houston Sunday. The group called for equality as they made their message loud and clear with three bold words: “White Lives Matter”.
Yes. Carrying signs, guns and Confederate flags, the demonstrators simply wanted everyone to know “White Lives Matter”. Blavity has yet to confirm if the group is in conjunction with the “All Lives Matter” movement.
“We came here because the NAACP headquarters is here and that’s one of the most racist groups in America,” Scott Lacy told KPRC.
Police arrived on horseback and set up barricades. No one was arrested…injured…or killed.
#WhiteLivesMatter began trending on Twitter.

But, the jokes made more sense than the movement itself.
