#alllivesmatter is trending on twitter again. a fucking gain. i really don’t understand why white people bring all lives matter only when black people are talking about their struggle. do y'all realise black people get killed for looking “suspicious”. i saw this tiktok where someone asked this person “why black lives matter and not all lives matter?” they replied with something like ‘if you’ve five children and one of them gets stung by a bee, are you gonna give band aid to all five children? no. you’re gonna give it to the one that was stung by a bee’ i think they really put it well. black people frequently face racism and oppression. plus white people getting called cracker and karen =\= racism

We don’t need a hashtag that says all lives matter, because it’s self evident.

Here’s to the day when the same is true about #blacklivesmatter.

People who scream all lives matter are exactly the same people who look at a 100K death toll and throw a fit about a haircut. The only lives that matter to them are their own, and since they aren’t black, Black Lives Matter makes them feel excluded. What they are saying is my life matters, even though it’s not being threatened, and I demand to be acknowledged. The people I identify with must be acknowledged. They are oblivious to context. They protest outside abortion clinics because they don’t see themselves in the people patronizing that place, because they think they would never. Black people, desperate women, those people are ‘other’, and they don’t count. The people forced to provide those haircuts and who cook and serve those fancy restaurant meals they crave, they  don’t matter. The only thing that matters to them is them and people they approve of. They most definitely don’t believe that all lives matter, they just can’t stand being left out, because literally everything is about them.
