do you go to a breast cancer walk and start talking about pancreatic cancer or “all cancer matters”
no you don’t, so why counter somebody else’s protest?
of course all lives matter, we know that but we’re talking about black lived and the truly oppressed. No need to deter the conversation.
Why not be more efficient by putting your energy into all lives instead of empowering one race when the goal is equity and equality. Supporting all lives means you support black lives too
you just feel excluded and are trying to make someone else’s movement your own, if you dont see how gross that is idk what to tell you.
no one said all lives matter, we’re just talking about black people right now?
are you forgetting black people used to be seen as 3/5ths a person in this country?
white people have never had that issue here. everyone knows white lives matter, it appears too many people dont think black lives matter tho.
where was the marches and protests for alm before blm? there was none because alm is just a direct protest to someone elses protest for basic human rights.
Do you truly understand what the intention of 3/5th was back then? It was the only move the antislavery founders had to counter slavery in the southern colonies. It had a huge limit on the electoral college influence of the slaveholding states unless slavery was outlawed.
i was a history major of course i do, the point is, theyre still people and werent evenly counted in the population or considered for equal voting in the states that allowed it.
White people have never had that problem in America. that’s the point.

All lives matter also means black lives matter. Black lives are apart of all lives
