Something has been bothering me, but to many it is a misguided missile taking aim at a problem that needn’t not be enlarged. My problem is with the Black Lives Matter Movement.
That statement might anger some folks and let me be clear. I am not against the Black Lives Matter Movement; I simply want to question its absence from present day trails. I shouldn’t even be clarifying myself, but society now a day will find any reason to hate and attack you.
During the period when police shooting was all over the media, the Black Lives Matter Movement was alive more then ever. The Movement was in its prime during 2016, but few know that the organization actually started way back when Trayvon Martin was shot and killed; after Zimmerman was set free
The movement thrived on the anger of minorities and oppressed groups of society. It was great. There was adequate protesting - voices being heard and change being demanded. Some deaths were publicized more then others, while many of the unarmed victims shoot by police went unheard. People are still being killed each day and I hear nothing of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Not just black people - minorities. Minorities are being killed each day and the movement is silent.
I know some will say that they are doing more the scenes activism, but I don't think so. How can a movement as huge as that just so silent? TRUMP. I am not directly blaming Trump for the silence but more so the indirect effects the new President has had on everything.
It seems to me that when "Sir Orange" was elected, everything else in the nation came to a halt. The main focal point was and still is Trump. Majority of people are so united over their hatred for Trump that many seem to neglect the everyday life struggles still being faced.
I want protest. I want anger. I want change being demanded. I want unrest. Because until black folk, hispanic folk, asian folk, LGBTQ folk, poor folk, and women matter - all lives will never matter.
