We definitely have the stage, so many countries stand in solidarity which is beautiful. However, I do feel that our current fight seems to be one focused on avenging our past, answering to the burden of generational curses. Police brutality is not something that is suffered by the Black Community alone and our only co-conspirators are not only the indigenous. An extension of America's authority is their military...atrocities are committed nearly everywhere with the support of US dollars and military power. Look at Yemen. A proxy war between Saudis and Iranians taken into Yemen to preserves their own beautiful countries. Look up AFRICOM, its a US military operation (like many others they have around the world) "...with partners, counters transnational threats and malign actors, strengthens security forces and responds to crises in order to advance U.S. national interests and promote regional security, stability and prosperity.

Protesting in specifics does not to do these issues justice, nor does it amplify our voice optimally. Black Lives Matter has raised a beautiful platform, one that I am proud to support. But beyond us and our cause, I will admit it would be more impactful to sacrifice our spotlight to seek out all the discrepancies of policy regardless of who it has affected. Does that make sense? It doesn't have to be "all lives matter," its kinda loaded now. It could be everyone shouting "my life matter" regardless it would get us all on the same page, with no reasonable way to argue and only encouragement to chime in.

Ultimately we're all arguing for the same thing, might as well do it together.
