Black Lives Matter is an organization that started off with nothing but good intentions. The group wanted equality for all citizens by focusing on injustices that have affected blacks. Some of the organizations members have since lost their grasp around the equality mindset. Members of the organization have been cited for harmful protests, assault on a police officer and other law infringements. Black Lives Matter now has a public relations issue on their hands.
The organization is meant for equality for all. There is nothing wrong with the organization itself. Black Lives Matter has a website that states what they mean by being “Unapologetically Black”. The goal of the organization do not line up with recent protests.Black Lives Matter protests are designed to raise awareness, not cause harm. A few examples of harmful protests by the group can be seen at breitbart.com.
Equality has become a focal point of today’s media coverage. Today’s media has used race as a means to reach their own personal goals. Race is a serious matter in today’s age of social media. Every statement can be taken and put on the internet without anyone’s knowledge. There is no place in this world for insensitive material regarding someone’s race. Black Lives Matter is attempting to create a world in which everyone is equal, but some members have created a deeper divide with harmful acts of violence.
White Supremacy and Black Supremacy has no place in today’s society. Going after veterans, policemen and others based off their vocation is indeed wrong. Our country has promised equality for all. Equality is only generated if each side is willing to correct their own issues first. The population of caucasians needs to stand up to those that are racist. Black Lives Matter is a step in the right direction, but only if the organization is used for awareness and not assault.
