Your Life Matters.

Yes, Black Lives Matter. So do White lives, Hispanic lives, Oriental lives, Native American Lives, Blue lives, and everything in between. We all matter.

Yes, Black Lives Matter. Of course they do. Any rational thinking person would agree with that. Yes, All Lives Matter. We all matter, no matter our beliefs, culture, race, creed, or religion. We all matter. Most importantly, Your Life Matters. You, as an individual. Everyone is here for a reason, whether you like it or not. Your life matters. We, the human race, need each other to thrive in this growing hostile and politically divided environment. We all have a purpose, and we all have individual thoughts that need to be heard. So stop grouping races like we're different breeds. Your life matters. Don't let this election damage your relationships. Everyone has the right to an opinion- granted, some opinions are better than others, but still, everyone has the right to have one- that's the beauty of America. Don't be pushed apart because of disagreement. That's the worst of it, that's the real enemy. So appreciate your neighbor, your fellow man, and your fellow American. Your Life Matters. The goal of this post, is not to start a debate, or to accuse anyone. With this post, we are trying to set a precedent for anti violent and aggressive politics.

Creating groups like Black Lives Matter will only continue to divide us and cause more violence and problems. The creation of Black Lives Matter divided the African American community even more, as many don't identify with the group. For example, my step father, who is black, doesn't associate or like Black Lives Matter. He appreciates and likes the ideal, as do I, but he doesn't like the connotation of division and prioritizing one race over another. I do believe most of us can agree on this. No, I do not disagree with the basis of Black Lives Matter. At first, I thought it was great. I thought it would help to unify the races, and would be peaceful and gain support. Little did I know, the opposite happened. So, my main point, is that we are all equal. If you believe in the big guy up there, he thinks of us as equals, no matter our race, and you should too. Please, don't let this election make you love or appreciate anyone any less.
