I’m not saying I agree or disagree with anything, only if they must do what they do, at least be smart about it. White people get upset because they think they BLM is putting black lives above other lives, or suggesting other lives don’t also matter. By adding “also,” it clears that up. They’re not saying only black lives matter, or matter more, only they they matter too, since they feel that they are being treated as if their lives don’t matter.I am not a fan of hyphenated America. Let’s drop the whole black American, Asian American, white American, or whatever. Think how nice it would be if we just called ourselves and each other Americans.
The civil rights movement fought to eliminate segregation and I am watching people self segregate. Doesn’t make sense to me.
I agree that we should all view ourselves as Americans, and that’s it, but both sides, at least the extremes of them, seem eager to not do that. Whether it’s what you describe, or conservatives shouting at everyone they don’t like to “go back where you came from.” Even to Native Americans. Imagine being that dense that you tell Native Americans in America to go back where they came from. It’s like an Onion headline, but it’s real.
