Recently
since police brutality has been exposed, thanks to the camera
technology, and social media, a new civil rights movement called
Black Lives Matter has been formed out of the influence of the old
civil rights movement. The reason for this was to speak against the
systematic targeting of black communities by racism and police.
Following this was the creation of All Lives Matter, which has
derailed the populace from what is going on currently and that is
that black communities have been, for years, harassed and targeted by
systematic racism that is so deeply rooted in our culture it appears
normal, and because we see it as normal, when the black communities
spoke against it the result was many white communities felt like they
was being targeted and attacked, when the very opposite is true. The
creation of All Lives Matter has derailed a honest civil discussion
on race and justice for all.
What many don't seem to understand is the harassment that the black communities go through vs the white community. Blacks are frisked more each day than white members of society, blacks are always looked at with the assumption of either being lazy or being a thug, blacks are always assumed to like rap music, blacks are stereotyped to live in the ghetto or other areas that are riddled with drugs and gangs, etc. This is displayed in our media, movies, shows and music which has been used by our own nation as a tool to divide the masses in order to keep us fighting so we never unite to create progress in the name of humanity and speak of the crimes of our corporate empire. The establishment of systematic racism is as old as the creation of the nation, it's used as a tool to keep the populace fighting. Through this systematic racism it has lead to molding the minds of white communities to seeing black communities in this negative limelight, which would only lead to no surprise when white officers attack or harass black people and lie through their teeth because of their ignorance that blacks are “thugs” and “gangsters”. With that said, a report from the FBI stated before hand back in 2010 that Neo-Nazis and KKK have infiltrated the police force, which Neo-Nazis said in the documentary “Gang Land” they would do.
Right now the fight for justice of black lives and their communities is very important, as the fight for all and justice for all is very important. Although, considering the black community is targets in this nation because of our deep rooted racism in the culture of this nation, the fight must be focused on the ones taking the worse of it all. Black Lives matter.
