Fun fact: My cousin is darker then dark and whenever I stood next to nicole people would scuff at us like there was no way Nicole and I could ever be related. But the truth is we both knew hardships for different reasons. I come from a disabled family and had barely if any opportunities in my life. I am just now getting my licence at age 27.

But on the flip side, She had to suffer with people judging her for being part white and being part dark. I don't look at skin color. But the rest of the world does. For me, All lives matter is a term I use to convey that asians, europeans, africans, native americans, and people should unite under the pressure of oppression. We should not condone racism and I don't think racism on either side of the coin is fair. Of course, I am all for black lives matter but if we want to succeed we need to remember that our current society is wrong. We are too quick to judge one another. Black lives matter but I think everyone that doesn't treat others poorly matters too regardless of color. I hope this helps. I am all for black lives matter but I think it should include all lives matter as an inclusion. <3 just a thought. Thank you for bringing this to light.
