Every time I open my twitter, especially during the Black Lives Matter protests after Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, and more, there is a constant battle between #alllivesmatter and #blacklivesmatter. Arguments I hear for supporting the All Lives Matter protest is that they respect everyone's right to life.
But what is the reason for Black Lives Matter, if I may ask?
The conversations I have had with my fellow peers often take a turn for the worst, usually too emotional to hold a genuine conversation.
"Do you agree that All Lives Matter?" They would ask me.
"Unfortunately my friend, the connotation behind that phrase forces me to reply with a no. Had you said do I believe that everyone has the intrinsic right to the life that has been given to us. The everyone's life is worthy and of value then yes, I would agree with that."
No one says it better than Joyner Lucas in this simple line "Screaming All Lives Matter is a protest to my protest, what kind of -- is that?"
To answer the question I previously asked before, Black Lives Matter is an organized intervention movement meant to represent and combat against black lives, and other minority groups in America, being intentionally targeted for demise.
All Lives Matter was introduced soon after Black Lives Matter came to life and has struck a nerve with Black Lives Matter supporters. All Lives Matter was intentionally created to subvert the Black Lives Matter movement and has successfully worked to divide the nation even more than it already had been.
I will leave this short editorial at this, leaving the rest up for discussion and opinions from my readers.
What is your opinion?
Do you support All Lives Matter? Do you support Black Lives Matter? Why or why not?
