I see there are still many people who don’t get the fact that for a long time “all” didn’t include black people. Justice for all meant justice for all white people. Rights for all meant rights for all white people and so on. In the original Constitution, black men counted for less than white men and women didn’t count at all. Now, some people are saying that “all” should include black people, too.
When you see “black lives matter,” just think of it as “black lives matter, too.” That’s what it really means. It was never meant to be “only black lives matter.” Absolutely
nobody thinks it should mean that.
