I truly believe that Black Lives Matter. Indeed, I find it hard to believe there are many people in the country who honestly believe otherwise. I mean, could you see a black child freezing on the streets of a metropolitan city in the depths of winter and think... "Meh. Black kid. No big deal." If you could do that... well - You Suck.
Anyway, given the basic logical premise that Black Lives Do (in Fact) Matter - I think a really reasonable goal should be to reduce violence against blacks by 15% in 2021. And going forward, the goal obviously would be to better that percentage every year.
And I'm not just talking about crappy white cops killing blacks, or angry redneck biker gangs running blacks down in the street. We must also commit to reducing black on black violence by 15%. Of course we know reductions across the board in violence against blacks will ultimately have a huge effect.
The fact is, if Black Lives Matter, everyone has to take a really serious look at their commitment to the ideal (including black folks) and honestly make efforts to dramatically reduce violence against blacks.
And the truth is. The honest to God truth is, if anybody makes any statement or effort to shift focus on the above, or point out that Black Lives Matter is really about white violence against blacks... Clearly they DON'T actually believe in the ideal that Black Lives Matter. They merely believe that Black Lives ended by White People Matter. And thus they should really re-print the signs and T-shirts.
