If you support Black Lives Matter, do you also support White Lives Matter?

The BLM movement does not denigrate other communities. By saying "All Lives Matter," in response to black lives matter, you are basically saying that you don't care about the black community or agree that it has a right to work on it's issues.
The same principle works with saying "White Lives Matter". You aren't saying that other communities don't matter, but trying to put a focus on solving the issues that are important to the white community.
By thinking about it like this, I have come to support the BLM movement. And also the WLM movement. Thanks. |
