Black Lives Matter is the focus of the national conversation right
now. And those who push back that All Lives Matter are out of touch.
Anti-black racism is hardwired into America's DNA, and it touches
Black lives every single day—from cop killings to predatory lending to
poorly-funded schools. To say ‘Black lives matter’ acknowledges that in many
ways we never did—not to suggest that anyone else matters any less.
It doesn't mean that only black lives matter. It doesn't
mean that black lives are superior. It is merely recognizing that we are
not currently similarly situated and it needs focus.
