Answer: I attended a rally for Black Lives Matter recently. Speakers reminded us that many black people experience racial profiling and harassment while doing things that white people have no problems when white people do them: driving in suburban neighborhoods, wearing goodies for example.
Some people driving by shouted from their cars, "All lives matter!"
I did my best to ignore them and learn from what the speakers were explaining. It is true that all lives matter. But for hundreds of years, black people have been deprived of rights, opportunities, and choices that most other people have taken for granted. It is time to realize that hidden bias and unconscious discrimination have often contributed to the problems that prevent us from making the changes in our law enforcement practices, justice system, and economy that will eliminate the need to argue about whose lives matter.
Explanation: No one matters more, but sometimes we need to reach out and help those in need when it matters most to them.
