The only way to deal with structural problems is to highlight them, all lives do matter, but the cards aren't stacked against all lives


It is true that the cards aren't stacked against all lives, however, black lives aren't the only ones. I'll use an example I am personally close to and know more about. Aboriginals in Canada make up 3% of the entire population, but they make up 20% of the prison population. Aboriginal women also have to worry about another statistic. Between 1980 and 2012 they suffered a homicide rate 4.5 times higher than all other women in Canada combined. This is one of the many examples from around the world that are the reason I believe there should be an all encompassing "All Lives Matter" movement.
