Idiots, the lot of them. They suffer
from blindness of the mind. Their thinking that “black lives
matter” is saying that other lives don't. When black men, women
and children are approached by an officer with his or her weapon
drawn in the same situation a white person is with a conversation,
they are already being considered a threat and worthy of death on the
street rather than that their life is worth anything. The folks in
the movement realize that all lives do matter and they only want to
be considered as part of that “all”. They wish for inclusion as
people, as other humans and not the 3/5th of a person of
the slavery days.
Equality is more than having the same
rights. Equality is being treated with the same respect according to
those rights. Bigotry of the past taught prejudice that has gotten
in the way of “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with
certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and
the persuit of happiness.”
I saw a cartoon that showed the body of
a dead black man next to the body of a dead police officer. Their
blood running together. The same red color. The blood of the same
specie. Blood that could have been shared to save each others lives.
Both were of the human race. Who matters? We all do. When are we
going to treat each other in that matter?
