"When [Opal Tometi, Patrisse Cullors and I] created Black Lives Matter, it absolutely was about: How do we live in a world that dehumanizes us and still be human? The fight is not just being able to keep breathing. The fight is actually to be able to walk down the street with your head held high—and feel like I belong here, or I deserve to be here, or I just have right to have a level of dignity."
- Alicia Garza

EXCELLENT! I hope many more (white) people come to understand this without assuming they are saying that cop's lives don't matter, etc. That's just bad logic. Us whiteys can be mighty ignorant of what minorities live with. Ask black parents about "the talk" they have to give their kids. Who wouldn't be upset by it? All people have the same general human nature. It's actually racist to think otherwise.

I suppose that now I'll be accused of "white guilt." Piss on that.
