the phrase..."all lives matter'' is a sign of ignorance or naivety.... both have no place in our current society
I do not know if you are being sarcastic. You refer to "both" not having a place in our current society. By phrasing it that way, I assume the second unnamed slogan is "Black Lives Matter".
"Black lives matter" has historical context and cannot be separated from the events of the past. To ignore that is to either not know this Nations real history or to have ones head in the sand for the last six years
Whites can not claim this moniker as we have held the reigns of economic power, political power, and cultural power since the 1600's. We have made sure that our white life matters by subjugating and oppressing those that do not resemble our white European heritage. Subjugation is not always done with a whip or switch. Subjugation also happens with policies, access to resources, access to economic opportunity. White lives have mattered for 400 years, we've made sure of that.
Only by finally having an honest discussion about race, its manifestations, and its impacts will it potentially end. Not talking about it is how we got here in the first place. Denial or silence is what keeps it alive.
