An explanation of a concept: Say you have a table and, after a big dinner, its full of dishes. Now you have a very powerful cleaning robot and you tell the robot Clean all the dishes off of the table. The robot gets busy washing and cleaning and putting all the dishes away in their proper places. All the dishes are neatly tucked away except for the forks... After the next big dinner you do the same thing; clean all of the dishes off of the table. Same results. The robot cleans everything immaculately except it leaves all of the forks dirty and on the table. You see, in the Robots programming the word All doesnt include the forks... So, apart from saying All you also must specify forks. The table is America, the Robot is the govt, and the forks are black people. You see, to the govt and the American public in general, all throughout history, the word All has never included black people. It was never intended to do so. Specificity is warranted and necessary. This is why it is important to specify that #Blacklivesmatter. This is why it is not deeper or more profound to say only #AllLivesMatter. Liberty and justice for all never included us. So I fight for Liberty and justice for Black people. Feel free to be specific to whom you are fighting for as well but dont be fooled into thinking that the word All actually means that. In this country it never ever has.
