Seems like a straight forward attempt at whataboutism.
I read about a lot us sports on the athletic (predominantly US sports subscription website) and you get this position a lot in the comments under any article talking about black athletes activism or how the major sports leagues are dealing with this moment in history when the athletes who play their sports are predominantly black.
They talk about black on black crime/violence, general thuggery, lack of male role models/fathers, pretty much anything but the current issue of police brutality and how that stems from the racism inherent in a society built on the backs of slaves.
When people utter it, it becomes immediately filed under the all lives matter section of the debate and you move on..
