Apparently people still can’t figure out how the phrase “all lives matter” is offensive. They think that saying black lives matter is offensive. Yet if they want to “correct” the statement that black lives matter by saying that all lives matter, then what is wrong with saying black lives matter? You really shouldn’t have a problem saying that in the end, should you? If black lives matter, and they do, then why point out that all lives matter? Would you really tell your kid if he asked if you love him that you love all kids?
It’s
not like they are saying that black lives matter more or white lives matter
less. It is sad that they even have to point out that their lives matter at
all. That should already be a given. But they are dismissed when people just
point out that all lives matter. It’s sad that we even hear this from other
black people. At least people aren’t saying that white lives matter, which isn’t
so much inaccurate as it is inappropriate, even more so that all lives matter.
While
it is obvious that all lives matter, people need to stop saying that as if that’s
something that should be sad. You seem to only belittle the lives of black
people by saying that and trying to act as if you aren’t saying something
racist when you are.
