did black people in 2015. There has been so much chaos going on about the “Black Lives Matter” movement and it is undoubtedly starting to get out of hand. I, myself, do not agree with any of the uproar due to the fact that we have soldiers dying for our citizens to have equal rights and there are multiple black people kneeling during the National Anthem, random cops getting shot, and rather than uniting America, it is only further dividing the races within our country in many ways.
