RULES
If you dont support blm i recommend not coming here, and do not say any comments
1. No bullying
2. No EDITING or ELSE (someone deleted everything that i had put in the desc and now I'm pretty DARN mad, if it happens again or drama starts ill delete this studio and never make one again, because its a mess when all the drama and disagreeing starts , plus i have a hard time trusting ppl when it comes to promoting
3. NO Bullying
4. NO Raiding
5. NO Racism
6. NO saying All lives matter, WLM, Blue Lives Matter, or anything OTHER THAN BLM 'cuz it just starts a mess! (see down below)
7. NO changing thumbnail or title, AND DON'T ASK
BREAK ANY OF THESE THEN ILL BE PRETTY DARN MAD, I'm just mad someone deleted all the desc, so sry for the caps
oh and remember you do matter a lot, but BLM is a protest not anything against all lives
Why not to say ALM
------------------------------------------
1. All lives don't matter right now, we are focusing on the ones that are in trouble right now; the ones people don't treat fairly and equal.
2. ALM turns the attention from the BLM movement, away from the spotlight.
3. "But Scratee, all lives DO matter." TECHNICALLY your life does matter, but your life isn't the one in danger right now. Black lives have been receiving much racism for the past CENTURIES, and now, we pay attention to them, and try to make this world a little bit closer to equality.
Why not to say blue lives matter
------------------------------------------
1. You can choose your job, but you can't choose your race. This is something people need to understand.
2. Blue lives matter turns the attention from the BLM movement, away from the spotlight.
3. BLM is an action to stop violence and racism against black people. What made us see this was when a police officer killed a black man who didn't do anything. The cops are the ones who made us mad, at how they treat white people opposed to black people

“It’s important for us to also understand that the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ simply refers to the notion that there’s a specific vulnerability for African Americans that needs to be addressed. It’s not meant to suggest that other lives don’t matter. It’s to suggest that other folks aren’t experiencing this particular vulnerability.”
— President Barack Obama
“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.”
— Ijeoma Oluo
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
— Nelson Mandela
“Enough is enough! What will it take? A civil war? A new president? Violent riots? It’s tired. I’m tired. The country is tired! You don’t put fear in people when you do this, you just show how coward[ly] you are – and how America is really not the land of the free.”
— Cardi B (2020)
“I see and feel everyone’s pain, outrage and frustration. I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough.”
— Michael Jordan
“No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough. And we got a long way to go for us as a society and for us as African Americans until we feel equal in America.”
— LeBron James
