I Think All Lives Matter

Ok I hate people tagging all lives matter when people say black lives matter. Because not all lives are in danger of being hurt by the police just because their skin is a different colour. I can garentee that it is white people saying all lives matter and to them I say stop making this about you. Black lives matter

I’m sorry to say this is untrue. Statistics were released recently showing please brutality is down significantly in the Black community. Please brutality extends across every race. You just don’t hear it in the news because it’s not as provocative. Remember, making money in the news business is all about ratings and click bait. Don’t fall in the trap.

@bert199 Actually the statistics still show that police brutality is much higher among black people than white, and even higher among younger black people. Whether it's gone down doesn't mean it's not still a problem.

There are other quality studies on unequal treatment in courts, prison sentencing, health care...
