#AllLivesMatter VS #BlackLivesMatter

I just want to set a few things straight with people who don't understand the difference between #BlackLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter.

Okay, put it this way... Jon is sat at a table along with other people. Everyone is eating except Jon. Jon wasn't given any food. Jon yells "Jon deserves food!" Everyone looks at Jon and says "Everyone deserves food!", and continue to eat their delicious food. Although "everyone deserves food" is a true statement, it does nothing to actually rectify the fact that Jon has no food. 

Black people have been oppressed in America for hundreds of years. Yes, #AllLivesMatter is a true statement, but this awareness needs to be focused on black lives right now. Black people need everyone to rise with them more than ever, Police brutality against black people is becoming more common every year. We all need to understand  right now that the issue is that black people are getting killed by the police and no justice is being served. If you still don't understand; you're part of the problem so goodbye. Let's Rise Together. #BlackLivesMatter
