In my opinion the issue is clearly an us verus them issue. And the sooner that is stopped, the quicker things get better. Stop labelling things, stop grouping people together and fight the bad in people as one group of humans. Then all of a sudden, black lives don't matter because all lives matter.
Your point was “we’re all human”, And shouldn’t be categorised into racial groups, but that is simplistic. There are all kinds of racial and socio-economic groups that people belong to and that affect people in different ways. It’s very complex but the “we’re all the same” angle doesn’t work as we are not all the same.
