All Lives Matter

Every life is precious, regardless of skin color, religion, or ethnic background.

This is not something I would normally write about, but I felt the need to express my opinion. Some of you are not going to agree with me, and some of you are going to understand what I’m trying to say here.

Black people are not the only ones who are treated unjustly.

If I held up a sign that said White Lives Matter, I would be called a racist or a white supremacist. But it seems to be okay for blacks to hold up signs that state Black Lives Matter and nobody thinks that’s racist.

What’s the difference between me holding a White lives matter sign, and a black person holding a Black lives matter sign. Nothing but the color of our skin.

I’m tired of driving down the road and seeing signs posted everywhere saying Black lives matter. My life matters too. White lives matter too, so do Muslim lives, and Latino lives, and every other person’s life.

Everyone is so convinced that white people are racist, but we aren’t the ones holding up signs implying that the color of our skin makes our lives matter more than someone else’s.

Every time a white person hurts, injures, or kills a black person they bring out their signs and start protesting, saying Black lives matter.
