The current events and happenings in the world are no longer strange except you were born last night. The image above is one I very much like for many reasons. The diversity of the people in the picture. Everyone is coming out to lend their voices to the movement. George Floyd is not the first black to be killed by the police because of the colour of his skin.
The black community can't take it any more. Some group of people think it is weird when they say black lives matter. They go by all lives matter. Yes, it is indeed true that all lives matters but a certain part of the human community is under threat because of the colour of their skin.
I got some analogies from the internet and many people I have been a privilege to have a discussion with.
Explaining Black lives matter
So this analogy has been spreading across. I believe Billie Ellish used it in her Instagram post. If a house is on fire, will the fire department go to every house in the neighbourhood or go to the house on fire? Yes, all houses matter but one house is on fire.
now, all lives matter but black lives are in danger. This is the reason for the movement Black Lives Matter.
This Begs the Question: Why The Hate?
Why do they hate us? Why do they hate our existence? I try to relate to what the black man in the USA is going through and their experiences. This racism occurs in many western countries and many organisations.
But enough is enough.
Being black in the USA is living a life of fear. If a black man goes to a store and does not find what he wants to purchase. He will force himself to buy something because they may think he stole something. Being black is seeing the police as your potential killer. Being black is seen as a threat when you raise both hands up or crying that you can't breathe. Being black is seen as a disease. Being black is teaching your kids about the danger of their existence.
Does White Privilege Exist
Yes, it does exist. Should you feel bad as a white person? No, you shouldn't.
However, you can join in the movement to use your privilege to lend a voice. To get the message across.
Our Voices Are Heard
All over the world peaceful protest are being made. Now is the time. There may never be a better chance to send the message about black lives matter for a change to be made.
Spread love
Make Love not war
Black lives Matter... the world knows and I pray racism ends
Well said. It's true that there is a time and a season for everything. And now it's time to reset humanity. And everyone has a part to play in it. It's not black vs. white, it's really normal people who have to all step up to reveal the sociopaths who are running the show...at least this is my perception on where the world is at right now. also, being silent is being complicit. no one deserved the way that George Floyd was killed. The entire world saw a murder. It's time to change.
I second this opinion with you. We are all in this together. Together we can make the world a betyer place.

No one said it would be easy reversing the racism of 400 hundred years, and we have among us people who are still disrespectful.
good points.
From your own post:

Did you read this article? If you did you won't be saying this or being insensitive. You also sound like a racist. Perhaps you are a racist.
Do the police kill innocent white kids in the USA, do the police kill white people by mistake, do the police choke or kneel on the necks of white people. Do they show compassion with white people? Do the police shoot white people jogging?
I will prefer you don't bring insensitive and racist comments here. White people are the majority. Many people Black and white commit crimes in which case justice is to be served.
However, we know how the police respond to white people and black people with racial profiling.
what do you mean by white people are shot each day?
what do you mean by BLM has been hijacked>
only racist says they are not racist.
If you read the article you will never have said what you said.
George Zimmerman killed an innocent black kid holding a CANDY. A kid was killed for holding candy - Today Zimmerman is free, he also sold the murder gun for $250,000.
Let me tell you as it is. Black people teach their kids to be cautious of their society and the hate and also about the police because they can be killed for the colour of their skin.
So I know what I am saying. This is not a random post for fun.
Next time read the post and don't reply in such insensitive way.
You are racists. Take your conspiracy bs else where.
now you've really crossed the line here. Black Lives Matter is a peaceful organization. If you're here to agitate us, then you don't belong in our community. Calling people 'stupid' won't be tolerated.
The Rules of Black Lives Matter clearly state
"Be respectful." You obviously are breaking the rules of our community.
Fix your racist self.
Love and light
