It's so easy to say #AllLivesMatter when your fave characters looked like you, when your story books & dolls looked like you, when you wern't favoured by teachers, when the media is bias towards your race, when you're not stopped, violated & searched for no reason..
..when you're not bullied for your race, when police stop you & don't plant drugs in your car, when your manager has never told you your hair is "unprofessional" or "dirty", when your foundation has always matched your skin, when your plasters matched your skin..
..when you walk into shops & don't get followed or asked to leave for looking "suspicious", when you have never been told "you're pretty for a white person", when 80% of teachers & 84% of uni professors in the US look like you..
when you decided to go for a walk & a white woman never called the police on you, when 11m is put into finding a child that went missing 13 years ago because she looks like you, when you weren't expelled from school, but the black child was, even though they done the same thing..
When Gary Neville called out racism in the UK media, he was applauded. When Stormzy did the same, he was vilified by the press.. #BlackLivesMatterUK
