“All this protesting etc is not doing any good at all. I am a senior citizen and seeing this all happen makes me very sad because I see minds being infiltrated with disbelief and critical thinking removed. Only recently when visiting I saw in the window of the Little Skye Children’s Boutique small shirts stating “Black Lives Matter.” How very sad. How does one explain to small children that only black lives matter. What happened to all lives matter. The beauty of small children is that they do not see the difference . They enjoy each other as children should. This should not be something that they need to process. As small children they need to know that there is no difference. The color of skin makes no difference. This is insulting. What has happened to trying to understand that we do not all have the same beliefs, the same color of skin, the same backgrounds, etc. But, we are all human beings. And, where are the parents that need to teach this?”
” How very sad. How does one explain to small children that only black lives matter. ”
And here it is. The root of so much discord- a certain subset of the population sees the phrase “black lives matter” and instinctively thinks it means “only black lives matter” when the message is actually “black lives matter, too.” How sad is it that civil rights are seen as a zero sum game.
I wonder if the writer, when in a restaraunt where the waiters are singing “Happy Birthday” to someone, angrily storms over and yells “Happy birthday to EVERYONE!!!”
All Lives Matter!❤️
Really?
BLM itself states that it’s “ mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes”
Sounds zero sum to me
Really??
