Sometimes I think people overthink things.
Other times I think people don’t want to think or they just want to argue so they just say whatever comes to mind.
To me this is the simplest thing in the world, like it is so simplistic that a child should be able to figure it out.
Anyone getting murdered is a horrific. Doesn’t matter if it is black on black, white on white, black on white, white on black or etc.
Everyone lives matter, that is simply common sense.
The reason people are saying BLACK LIVES MATTER is we know WHITE LIVES MATTER, we know white lives are valued, we know white people in general have it easier than everyone else. The issue is the difference in value between black lives and ALL LIVES.
Criminals come in all colors, the POLICE aren’t supposed to be the criminals. They are supposed to protect and serve, but almost daily there is a story where a black person dies by the hand of the people who are supposed to protect us and it is always under highly mysterious circumstances.
The scary part is a HIGH majority of those cops never face punishment for their actions.
A black person kills someone regardless their race and especially if they are white, it is highly likely they are going to be punished as they should. A white person kills a black person, chances are much much higher they might get off. History has shown us that time and time again. If it is the police you might have a better chance of winning the lottery than seeing one of them go to jail.
It is about black lives being treated as equally as all lives and that is why it matters Stephen A.
Simple.
