A retort to a post about Black Lives Matter where I responded "All Lives Matter."

When we as a people play into the tribe mentality, we, as a people die as a united people. I do not share the guilt of the sins of our fathers. I am not a racist nor a bigot. I treat all my fellow men and women with respect and see them in the light of dignity and respect. When someone says that I am part of the problem or I should be ashamed of myself for stating All Lives Matter I have to disagree and see this as a separate and distinct form of racism. Yes, Black Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, Brown, Red and Yellow Lives Matter. Let’s stop distinguishing people as a color and see them and treat them as all part of the human experience. I don’t like injustice; I don’t like people of any color that promote injustice or inequality and doubt I would listen to any argument they espouse to support same.

Yes, preference has been given to white people in the laws passed by the officials we all elected to office. From post-Civil War, to the New Deal up to the Civil Rights acts this has been the case. Those same officials have not lived up to their promises to the people who elected them. Those same officials, with the support and encouragement of the media and corporate America have kept us as a people divided through divisive rhetoric, economic prejudice, false impression and in many cases outright lies. They do this and continue to do it all in the name of keeping the power they have, staying in office, making the same lame promises, telling us what to think, what to feel and who is to blame for the inequalities and injustice in our society.

We as a people are to blame, we elected them, and we keep electing them. What have they done, they’ve taken away our freedoms, little by little. They’ve kept us at each other’s throats, they are working to devastate the middle class, they work to discredit and disband the nuclear family, they’ve made it difficult for young people of all color to get a usable education and decent job so they can raise a family and participate in the so called American dream.

We, and I mean everyone one of us, are in this together. If we as a people, regardless of race, color, gender, orientation, or religious belief do not stand together we are ALL doomed to live under the thumb of and the dictates of big government. We have to stop focusing on the consequences of our problems and put a light on the root of our problems - the laws enacted by our elected officials and the elected officials we put in office to protect our liberties and freedoms.

Meaningful change, change that improves our collective lives cannot happen if we put the focus on one group over another. It is prejudicial and, in many respects, racist.

I have no doubt it is difficult being a black man or woman in America today. I also believe it is difficult being a white man or woman in America today. This difficulty, this inequality is shared by all of us and the responsibility for change should be born and supported by ALL of us.

If we truly believe in our constitutional rights and the declaration that “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” then let us elect officials that will adhere to the concept promoted in OUR declaration.

We need to get to a point in our lives where we do not see color. It is not that hard to do if we change our mindset. As I said we are all in this together, see people not colors.
