Why should all lives matter if they aren't being harassed or going through anything?
ReplyDeleteMany different races are going through certain things. Look at the Mexicans. They are stereotyped for being involved in cartels and other horrible things, but what about those that come to our country in order to find a better future. To work hard because they want their families to live in better conditions. Many of them just want to know what is is to live the American dream. Life is not easy in these other countries. Many times we don't know what different people are going through because we don't have their shoes.
DeleteThe Black Lives Matter movement has had a large impact on the world. Many people all over the world have a different comment and opinion over it. Even though I am neutral about this movement, I do have an opinion on it. Sometimes I hear lots of people who I hangout with say "All lives Matter" and I know because everyone is importance and everyone's life should be valued, but right now, the African American raise is going through a crisis. Many issues are going on with this particular race. Many of them are being innocently killed. What people don't know is that they are creating fear in them. When they walk through the streets, don't you think that they are scared? Don't you think that the thought of it being there last day is running through their heads? New generations of this race are building up, and they are growing stronger than ever because of this movement, and I am glad that they are working for the new generations success. Maybe if they acted or represented the movement in a better way, it would create more respect and positivity, and many people would support. When there is an African American being killed by a white person, the family acts in an extreme way. I know that they are hurt and that there are many things going on through their heads because they loved that person, but sometimes we need to think before we act and speak, to keep a clean testimony. If people around the world see the African American community act calmly and explain the importance of this race in a educated way, without causing chaos, everyone would come together because everyone would like to join on something that would make the world a better place.
