Don’t overthink Black Lives Matter
I wish that Black Lives Matter was called Black Lives Matter Too. It seems implied. Organizers of the movement can be forgiven for not including “too.” They probably thought it was obvious. Evidently not, judging by the rhetoric.
Black Lives Matter never said that only black lives matter, or that black lives matter more than others, or that lives other than black lives don’t matter. Black Lives Matter – too. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp?
