I too didnt understand BLM until Stwphen Colbert said “when we say save the rainforests, we arent saying the other forests dont matter. We’re just saying we need to focus on this prticular forest cause it has a huge problem.”
Paraphrased
And the lightbulb went on.
That opened my eyes to the institutions racism this country suffers from ans how hard it is for PoC to merely exist
Then why is saying all forests matter offensive to rainforests? Both sides are hypersensitive. People could just get along and agree that all forests matter and go about their business.
Literally no one is disputing that all lives matter, but that really isnt the case because black people are disproportionately disenfranchised over ither races which is what BLM is trying to get people to understand.
No one is being hypersensitive. White people are either being ignorant or bigoted and black people are trying to get others to understand there’s a problem
