I understand what Halle is trying to say, she needs to understand that any time any black person minimizing the phrase black lives matter it gives all the racist ammunition to say that our lives don’t matter.
So, be very careful with your wording.
“In my world, I get so tired of people complaining about, ‘Oh black lives matter,’ and they pontificate and pontificate about it, and I say, ‘Well, what are you doing about that? It may not seem significant to you, but that’s how we start. Have you called your local politicians, have you written a letter?’”
When they say they’ve done nothing, I say, ‘Well, don’t talk to me…because you are part of the problem, because you are sitting here spewing negativity and complaining.’
I don’t have time for people who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.”
It is true, that action speak louder than words, but the louder you speak the more actions will happen.
Something that Halle maybe has forgotten about while going through her multiple divorces.
