Why #BlackLivesMatter A Perspective

     In America #AllLivesMatter but if you had a sore or a tumor on your body do you treat your whole body, or do you tend to the wounded area? You tend to the wound in hopes that the disease won't spread. We are in a crisis situation where black men especially are becoming an endangered species.
     In America black women are fourth class citizens, and are treated as such. This has been going on for centuries. Have things gotten better since slavery and segregation? Yes they have. Is there more work that needs to be done? Yes. Segregation only officially ended about 50 years ago, so we aren't that far removed from racism (which still exists to this day), bigotry, job discrimination, unfair mortgages  (Countrywide anyone), unfair rates on automobiles, unfair pay raises, etc......
     Just like a wound on your body you find it, diagnose it, treat it, and hopefully you get better. America has several terminal cancers. We know what they are. Ignoring a bloddy nose won't make it stop bleeding. The bigger issue is some people like to pick at the wound. They fly Confederate flags & then claim that it is about heritage. What heritage? The heritage of owning slaves?
     I agree 100% that #AllLivesMatter but we need to focus on all the unarmed killings going on in the black community. If the #thugs run out of blacks to kill guess who they are coming for next??? Haters gon hate. Killers gon kill. Now let us focus on the #BigPicture Whites killing whites. Blacks killing blacks. Cops killing blacks. We need to fix this before it is too late. BTW. Stop blaming video games & rap music. Last I checked none of those existed during segregation, but you still had cops killing blacks & making bodies disappear (freedom riders anyone)
     Together let's fix this. Feel free to let me know uf you want to donate to fixing these issues. Thanks in advance. #BlackLivesMatter #WhiteLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter
