Do black
lives matter? Today, they do. Tomorrow, hopefully, that will be a nonsensical
question. “Black Lives Matter”, is an
attempt to convince the ignorant “white” that a person with brown skin is a
human being and entitled to the same respect by their nation and their fellow
citizens. But in the world I hope for
tomorrow, “somewhere over the rainbow” it is a racist statement. To me, there is no such thing as a “black
life.” Black is an inaccurate
description of skin pigmentation, just like red is an inaccurate description of
hair color. Red hair and black skin are
not meaningful indicators of who an individual actually is.

Was I a
“white” four year old? Was I a white 3rd
grader? A white junior high school
student? A white high school
student? White in college? Was I white in the work world? In the world, as it should be, the answer is a simple no! I have always been an individual human being,
seeing the world from inside, but how did the world see me? As I matured the world offered me more and
more options and offered the person of color less and less. Through a growing wisdom of society we will
minimize this reality, down to non-existent.
“Black Lives” will become an irrational pairing of words. No one will any longer experience a “black
life.”

But, what of
today? Are we moving toward a just
world? What does the world of Donald
Trump and his loyal followers represent?
Can a man who “listens to his gut, not the experts”, “grabs any pussy he wants to” and “deals with
shit hole nations in Africa”, lead us to a just, non-racist world? I suspect not. His “white lives matter” and “blue lives
matter” responses indicate that The Golden Ass has no understanding of the
dialog being presented.
.
So, do black
lives matter? Today they do. Tomorrow, hopefully, the answer will be, “What
do you mean by a black life?”
