For a very large portion of the history of this country Black lives have mattered least of all.
Well, I've only been around since the Kennedy administration, so I'm not going to assume responsibility for something I played no part in...
And like it or not that legacy is still alive and well in this country.
So while I don't think it's racist to say all lives matter I do think it is an attempt to marginalize the historic treatment of Blacks in this country.
But it's not. It's putting everyone on a level playing field. How is that bad?
I'll tell you how it's bad: It's bad to colored boys like Essien who believe he should get something for nothing, simply because he wants it. He needs to be "special" because he believes that label will carry benefits with it, despite being his doing nothing to warrant such benefits...
So until people will at least admit that not all lives matter equally and can say that yes Black lives not only matter but that they matter just as much as any other we can never truly say all lives matter.
That's essentially what "All lives matter" is saying.
All lives matter. Saying anything else is racist...
