Yea, I agree, our country has done some really messed up stuff.
Messed up stuff that some see as lets say, "great." Some even want to return to that. Luckily that is beginning to change.
The point of BLM is not that other lives dont matter, it is that they are not being targeted in a way that the black population is.
And of course no person or demographic is perfect. No one is saying that.
Black lives matter is like saying, hey Marks house is on fire and he needs help right now! Then you come in and say, but what if my house catches on fire? It matters too, right? Yes, sure. But our friends house just burnt down. Perhaps it being about the acuity is the issue. Social media and social surviellence has brought such atrocities as selective murder into acuity and is spurning good change.
