Paul Farmer once said that “The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all is wrong with the world.” This simply justifies what has been continuing in the United States which is Racial Discrimination. Knowing that racial discrimination is still persistent in America, African Americans have been one group that is constantly targeted.

As years have passed the movement “Black Lives Matter has become a transformative outlet for all black people from different historical, cultural, socioeconomic and political identities. It is a source of solidarity for the survivors of colonization, exploitation, capitalism and police brutality.”( Miah, Malik.) African Americans have used this movement to bring each other together and fight for what is still persistent, which is racism. There has been controversy about “BLM” which stretched the opinion that the movement was very racist.

The teenager in foster care who believes he has found a surrogate family in a gang needs to feel that his life matters. The man recently released from prison, trying to put his life back together, needs to feel that his life matters.” From the actions of other races towards the black community this is not true. If all lives matter there would be no need for black lives matter in the sense of that we would all be treated equally.

All in all Black Live Matter is very important
