A complex matter indeed...but the very concept of one groups' lives mattering more than another groups' lives is quite contradictory I think. As for the historical aspect...we can hold on to those old issues or move forward...I just don't think moving forward with the same ethos as displayed historically, albeit reversed, is the right way forward. But what do I know, I'm just a brown dude with his own opinion. (I prefer to say, delectably mocha-coloured though, not brown.)
Delectably mocha-coloured lives matter...as do everyone's.
I don't disagree with that. I honestly don't think the intent was for one color of lives to matter more than another, but when one has been beaten down, and exploited it needs to matter a little more to be back in par with all lives. Then again, what do I know, I'm about as white as they come!
Yeah, a lot of people have been beaten down and exploited and not just black ones so I feel the BLM phrase is quite offensive.
I understand.
