#BlackLivesMatter

a useful analogy I’ve seen being used to combat the ‘all lives matter’ BS is

if 5 kids are playing and one is stung by a bee, you wouldn’t give a plaster to all 5, you’d give the plaster to the kid who got stung

black people are being systematically, institutionally stung

sign the petitions, remember the names of the people who were killed unjustly, stand up against racism (even/especially when it occurs in a room of only white people), understand your privilege, pass the mic to black voices, demand justice
