A local man who actively avoids any homeless people when he sees them has decided to wade in on the on-going “Black Lives Matter” movement this morning, after boldly claiming that in his opinion, “All lives matter!”.
Dave Pile, aged 59, an unemployed bookkeeper, has defied all societal norms and declared to the world that, in fact, it’s not just “Black” lives that matter, but “All” of them.
In a Facebook post made to tens of co-workers and people he went to secondary school with, Mr Pile bravely explained that, instead of complaining about how Black people have been historically and systemically marginalized throughout the Western world, we need to remember that other people are also important.
“I honestly don’t understand why people don’t get it!” said Pile, in a post that accrued 2 likes and 1 ‘laugh emoji’ reaction in the last twelve hours.
“Instead of harping on about how black lives matter, shouldn’t we, oh, I dunno, think ALL lives matter? That includes black lives people! I feel like I’m the only smart person left in the world!”
The post came as a surprise to the twelve people in total who saw it, as just the previous day Pile had shared a story of how he “dodged a bullet” by narrowly-avoiding speaking to a homeless person.
“Whew! Was just turning the corner at Tesco and almost ran into someone, was about to say ‘sorry’ before I saw he was homeless! In this neighbourhood of all places! Dodged a bullet there, but very worrying. Was black too!” Pile further added “yes I know homeless deaths rocketed during the pandemic but why don't they just get a house or something?”
Pile has been unavailable for comment on the conflicting posts, although in a follow-up Facebook post he did confirm to the public that he had several Beyonce albums and was therefore NOT a racist.
