In the fight of equality which is what the black lives matter is about, surely the best way to fight it is to be equal, one, as in we are all human regardless of your colour or where you are born, as in, all lives matter. If you're starting out with something that isn't equal, then you're fighting a losing battle.

We don’t live the same lives, face the same issues, or have the same experiences and that can be said of any racial, sexual or socio-economic group.

No, but we all bleed the same colour blood and we all die. Yes there is a thousand and one different things in-between being born and dying which makes us who we are, but if you want to fight a battle against racism, then we all need to be equal. Making a slogan up just about one set of people is not the way to be equal.

Saying someone is black, white, Asian, oriental whatever, is not labelling someone, anymore than any other descriptor.

Fighting a global problem of racism and other things is were the problem lies. We are starting off by labelling black lives matter, which is a starting point of not being equal.

A black person is black, a white person is white, that’s just factual.

A black person might be black, a white person might be white but both are human which is factual also.
