I wasn't going to say anything. A middle aged white woman called him out for it and they talked briefly, and then she looked at me and could tell I was listening and the look on her face was like "explain to him why it's bad" so I had to at least try. I'm 95% sure the dude wasn't racist. The only reason it's not 100% is because part of his justification was the "I have black friends" bit which I don't particularly care for.
Refuting "All Lives Matter" is not difficult, you simply explain that "black lives matter" is not some call of supremacy but rather "black lives matter too", which is to say all lives matter equally. He might have got the message. I dunno, I'm maybe not the greatest advocate for the cause.
