Black Lives Matter. A movement? An Attitude? An obvious statement. There are many questions about how this became something that isn't just said, but sometimes misinterpreted, misunderstood, and even a mystery. My Black life matters, I prove it everyday. But one day someone, somewhere made a statement with this statement that had people trying to understand what it means by trying to understand how it became something more than a meaningful statement. Well, from what I gather there has been talk of it being a brainchild of someone who is not black. There is also the ways in which these multifaceted three words make some feel. Honestly, I appreciate the appreciation of Black life, but how can we come together on the positive meaning of this social awakening?

Hi Teep11. What you are saying is true. I hope that people can come together on a more positive meaning of this while tackling misconceptions and allowing for meaningful dialogue.
