Analysis of Black Lives Matter
You say Black lives matter, But when Kapernick took a knee they offered you more money,so you stood and said "who is he?
You say Black lives matter, but when Martin Luther King was given a holiday, you kept working because they offered you more pay.
You say Black lives matter, you say we should continue the fight, but when the youth of today still use the "N" word, you act like it's alright.
You say Black lives matter, you say we should stand proud and tall.But when we still got Brother's killing Brother's. I wonder does BLACK LIVES MATTER at all?
