Last summer, I went door-knocking with members of Tucson SURJ to distribute signs in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Visiting over 20 homes and businesses, we talked with other white people about racism and white privilege to build solidarity for Black lives. In the following weeks, signs disappeared and were defaced. Several were modified to read “All Lives Matter”, which ignores realities of anti-Black racism. Asserting that Black Lives Matter does not negate the value of other lives, it affirms the value of Black people’s lives in order to create a just world for all of us.

Let me get this straight. You knocked on white people’s doors and told them that they should feel guilty for existing?
You got some balls on you Leah.
If black lives mattered, you would stop killing each other. Period.
How much did Soros pump into the “cause” this month?
Sounds like she wants to create a world just for one race
It sounds like the two previous posters are precisely the reason why we need this movement… White Privilege can be quite ugly at times…
You know what really really really scares me is the idiots that believe that only their lives matter, drive cars and vote.
The only movement this is equivalent to is a bowel movement. Just a whole lot of grunting.
Actually we are all one race, so yes, rational people are advocating a world of just one race. See, that’s why we call it the human race.
That there is more than one race was a social construct used to rationalize the dehumanization of blacks when they were enslaved. As an ethnic group blacks are still dehumanized, hence Black Lives Matter.
You poor, sad, confused trolls. You’ve spent so long being brainwashed into thinking white lives matter more that when people say black lives matter you think it erodes your self worth.
