That lapse in the system has been going on for years though. This is what things have come to. Those words got ignored for so long that this situation has come out of desperation over wanting to be heard when people weren't listening. I do agree that people who should be coming together are dividing themselves, but not in the same way I think. I don't believe that the distance between us racially has grown due to this, so many have come together to stand united against oppression. But I do think that some people are getting bogged down by other arguments when really, working together is what is going to solve this.

Lergle Life My issue is that if we want to stop racism then we need to stop making everything about race. It doesn’t make sense to me to say that we shouldn’t be racist and yet a great number of black lives matter supporters use it as a platform to bash non black people. There are a number who don’t do that of course and use it for what it should be used for - being a voice for those who do face racism and creating an equal platform for all colours. We should be able to to do that without putting down another race. Combating racism with racism isn’t the answer for me. I say all lives matter not as a way to diminish what black lives matter do - but because I want all races to be treated equal and get the same attention. We also need a better system for police officers because they do have to deal with so much - when there’s a murder, a domestic, a break in, a kidnapping : they’re the ones on the line. A better system needs to be in place to not only keep them in check mentally and physically but deal with officers who abuse their power properly. The guy that killed George Floyd clearly had issues that weren’t properly addressed and dealt with. But his shitty actions shouldn’t then equate to all cops being like that. There needs to be a better system in place.

@@LittleMsJester01 I agree that a better system does need to be in place to stop this from happening. There needs to be reform. Rigorous background checks, close mental health monitoring. And a change in attitude where bad cops don't get protected because "cops don't tell on other cops" as well.

Thank you so so much. I feel more like myself as the days go by.
