All Lives Matter Prove it by Making Black Lives Matter

Hello I would just like to tell you a bit about me, I am 13 and have not had an easy life, I live in care but I cannot imagine how much harder it would have been for me if I was black. This story will be written as if I was black.

I can’t stand it when people refer to me as a black person, I am not a black person, I am just a person I despise it when I am called that, people look at me and think I am going to do something horrifying. I get followed around the corner shop, it’s not a nice feeling but everybody has those feelings everyone looks at me like I am different, but I am not.

At school I get the blame for everything. I try to do good, but racism follows me everywhere it’s like trying to play hide and seek with nowhere to hide from it. I like video games because it hides my skin and people can’t judge me.

I shouldn’t have to feel like that. So, when I heard about the Black Lives Matter, it gave me the hope I needed, because it is hard, but, not just for black people, but Muslim and Jamaican and Indian people. We all have lives and their lives matter just as much as mine and yours, but all lives can’t matter until black lives matter.

So, I say BLM yes but every life matters that’s what we should be talking about so tell everybody black lives mater yes, but we all mater because everybody should be equal. Equality is what we should aim for. Honestly, I am white so no, I do not understand what it feels like, but I will try my very hardest to.

The point is black, Muslim, white, Indian Jamaican, Jewish, African, we should be equal so the point of this story is yes black lives matter we will never make up for what has happen in the past, but we can try to make now better. So, all lives matter. I hope you enjoy my small story of what I think my life would have been like if I was black. Thank you for your time reading my story, I really in joyed it and hope you did. Have a good day.

Yours Sincerely
