Divergent discourse between protests and counter-protests: #BlackLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter
Since the shooting of Black teenager Michael Brown by White police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, the protest hashtag #BlackLivesMatter has amplified critiques of extrajudicial killings of Black Americans.

The emotional arcs of stories are dominated by six basic shapes
