When I Say Black Lives Matter
When I say black lives matter, it's not just another empty echoe for attention but to bring attention to the cruel misconduct of leaders, citizens and officials that abide in hate. By their actions have displayed the monstrosity of assault and hate, yet all we ask is to value our lives so that we can live another day. When I say black lives matter, I'm not saying that all lives don't but infact we as blacks deal with an unnecessary grief from people operating in a system of injustice. Black lives matter as a whole deserves the attention to change the heart of the individuals who view us as blacks less than equals, in a society where the end of our allegiance to the country states liberty and justice for all.
When I say black lives matter, it is a public reminder of how ugly and mutilated racism has been to blacks. The end result to the statement and protests should bring about shame to the abusers and evoke change. Change in the heart of the people, those people change laws and systems that are injust to blacks. This problem of injustice, inequality, and racism is not new but overdue in not tolerating hateful behavior. Our men, women and children deserve to walk in peace and enjoy life as we all should. There are countless examples of injustice on and off the record, known and unknown to us. We heard about Emmett Till, we saw George Floyd killed on video recorded footage and they invaded Breonna Taylor's personal space. Just a few examples that resonates with the topic at hand currently.
When I say black lives matter, I'm saying we have always mattered and the individuals that try to oppress us can not succeed. Slavery is over, that oppression is over, we now have to get rid of the stench of the law and systems that uphold injust actions against blacks. I'll be clear in saying this is not a plea against every officer that puts on a badge or every white person. That's the same type of disgust we don't need, we have come to find real friends and advocates among them all. The real problem is the matter of the heart not the skin tone or position held.
When I say black lives matter, I'm saying let's stop the nonsense and live normal lives were we exist peaceably. I hope the families that have lost loved ones gain peace and a healed heart as they fight through the trial of justice.
