What amazes me is this country supports lifting up individual causes to shead light on an issue except when it comes to black folk.
I look at BLM the same way I look at Breast Cancer Awareness. Are all cancers important and should be studied correct? But we can also focus on one issue, breast cancer, and target that issue also while still being concerned for all cancers.
You don’t see testicular cancer survivors marching against the Breast Cancer Movement do we? I have never seen the neutoblastoma patients yelling at people with pink shirts, have you? I have never seen women with ovarian cancer shouting at breast cancer supporters, have you?
Do all lives matter? Yes. Do Blue Lives Matter? YES. Do zebras and donkeys matter? Yes
But why can’t we do what is done for Breast Cancer and focus on that issue alone? Why is that so scary and so concerning for a portion of this country?
Just to be clear I agree with the point that police brutality is out of control for everyone. My question is why don’t I see more white people bring attention to the situation?
Perhaps the fact that you only see black folk complaining in the streets and do not see a response from the white community when this happens gives the police reinforcement that those actions are ok.
Squeaky wheel gets the oil, I need more white brothers and sisters to speak up when a violation by any authority takes place. How are American going to maintain their rights when the majority of the population says and does nothing when these abuses take place?

You saw NO white people protesting with black people the past couple of weeks?
You should be able to ask for help in saving the whales without being met with indignant criticism that you're a morally deficient person in that you don't care about all mammals.
They keep saying "you didn't hear about this" but all of these stories were on a news report of some sort. But yeah, they show the story once and move on when white people are killed by cops. But when a black person is killed by a white cop it's media coverage 24/7. Media wants to sensationalize and sow controversy and division as much as they can, it's just terrible what they've become.
