#BlackLivesMatter

Black lives matter.

Black. Lives. Matter.

     It is so strange to think that these three words have such a huge and powerful meaning behind them. And yet, these words are the saying a movement. A movement to remind our nation that a large portion of its population is being systematically targeted and murdered in the streets.


     Innocent people are being murdered at the hands of those they are supposed to be able to entrust their lives. And yet, so many people are acting as if nothing has happened. They should be scared. They should be outraged. They should not being acting as if these young people deserved the gruesome deaths that fell upon them. They should not be calling these deaths justice.
