"White Lives Matter" is a phrase that appeared largely as a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement. It is used by some people and groups to argue that white people also experience discrimination, are negatively affected by certain policies like affirmative action, or are unfairly blamed for societal problems. Supporters claim it stands for equal treatment and against what they see as anti-white bias in media, education, and government. The phrase is highly controversial and has been closely associated with white nationalist and far-right groups rather than a broad civil rights effort.
