But all lives matter

“The entire point of Black Lives Matter is to illustrate the extent to which black lives have not mattered in this country.”

Black and brown lives have NEVER been included in “all lives” in the history of this world. And I keep seeing this all lives matter kumbaya bullshit over and over. No! We are not the same. No matter how many times y’all spew that “there is only one race” “I don’t see color” it will NEVER be true.

Do y’all not see how this world treats us? Your token black friends or that black person you work with, workout with or whatever doesn’t change the fact that you do not or will not understand the plight of a black person…like ever.

We don’t care that you think all lives matter. The same way you wouldn’t walk up to a breast cancer survivor and say… but all cancers matter don’t say that shit to us.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU or the privilege your skin affords you (even y’all who are passing and “accepted”🙄). Your internalized racism is showing. We don’t want to hear that bullshit while crying over countless black and brown bodies….every fucking time.

Show me a time when your life did not matter? Was affirmative action created for you? I mean I know legacies were but let’s be real, y’all don’t give af about that.

Did they have to make laws to give you the right to vote? Or even to be considered A FUCKING PERSON and not property?

Do you face disproportionate prison sentences based on crimes committed WITH THE SAME FACTORS existing? Yes it happens all the fucking time and Judge Barry Cohen can tell your ass about Palm Beach County.

Do you get harassed and racially profiled by law enforcement just for gathering or because you look like you don’t belong?

Do you have to try hard to not be loud or sound angry when speaking so as not to become labeled an “angry black person” or difficult at work?

Do doctors treat you differently when you seek medical attention?

How many times have you seen the language “the first white” fill in the blank with any accolade you can think of?

How many times have we seen murderers go free when an unarmed black person was the target?

When have the words “I can’t breathe” not been a fucking cry for help and mercy…oh but ALL lives matter right?

Nah. Not the black and brown ones. We are and will always be seen as less than, lazy, angry, hostile, threatening, criminal and a reason to be afraid.

But Martin Luther King said…. and they fuckin murdered him anyway. Lol tell me why he was murdered…. I’ll wait.

The lives of animals are valued more than black and brown people. Seriously! Don’t tell me all lives matter!

Don’t you get it?
