It's funny how people say #blacklivesmatter is the wrong statement, and that it should be #alllivesmatter. Its already an understood thing that all lives matter, but this world has shown historically and in the modern environment, that blacks lives don't matter. This may be first time in mass numbers that non-black people have shown human solidarity, but the fact remains, that when it pertains to the law, us case law says that any time a victim of crime is of african descent, civil rights is automatically in place. Also for the people who say that "white people are murdered by the police more than blacks," as far as the ratio, the white population is bigger, than the black population, so it would be more, however you must look at the ratio, how many white people per 100 people are murdered by police vs. how many black people are murdered by the police per 100 people. Also for those people who say "its not about race," You all should know that it was white european christians who created the concept of race through the succession of papal bulls and edicts that told white european christians all around the world to enslave, kill, and steal the property of all the sons of Ham. i.e. Moors, Africans, indigenous Americans etc. Once they created this, they enforced it on the entire world. So don't tell Black people its not about race, when white europeans have been making things about race for the last 1000 years, 1095 A.D. being the first papal edict.
