The hashtag and slogan All Lives Matter is a declaration of color blindnessIt erases a long past and present of systemic inequality in the US. Its a representation of the refusal to acknowledge that ppl and the state does not value all lives in the same way. #BlackLivesMatter

It reduces the problem of racism to individual prejudice and casts African-Americans as aggressors against a colourblind post-civil rights order in which people no longer see race.

Given the disproportionate impact state violence has on Black lives, we understand that when Black people in this country get freebenefits will be transformative for society as a whole.once the hyper-criminalization n sexualisation of Black people...

... and end the poverty, control and surveillance of Black people, every single person in this world has a better shot at getting and staying free. When Black people get free, everybody gets free. #SayHisName #BlackLivesMatter #ICantBreath
