In reply to the discussion: OMG!!!. Watching Bloomberg, Bill and Melinda Gates along with Warren Buffet say "ALL LIVES MATTER" [View all]hamsterjill
(15,224 posts)Every single living being matters. That's my viewpoint and if my saying that diminishes anything or any one, then that person or thing has a problem. One life (of any color) does not matter more than another life.
We are all equal. We are all the same. And while that may certainly not be reality at this moment in time for some - and yes, many of all colors and genders, etc., THAT is my personal belief, and that is why I am a Democrat and why I fight for that equality on a daily basis. I will NOT be sidelined in that belief or that action because I fear that someone has coined a phrase for a particular cause and I may not have gotten the memo!
There is plenty of inequality in this world. Do you honestly think that I give a shit if the child sitting in the school cafeteria with no money to eat is black or white? Hell no! All I want is for that child to be fed.
I am sick to death of the divisiveness of the racial issue here on DU.
