White lives matter too

Are there any more, other than myself, who are so fed up with the color war? Because of one incident that happened to a person of color, its happened to a white person a lot of times too, but it doesn’t go on and on such as this. It’s disgusting to have down town plastered with Black Lives Matter all over buildings, and where ever, doesn’t that beautify our city? White people walking those streets, how is the reaction of the opposite? As the story was told, it was a purpose of reuniting people of color as equal, but instead this is fanning the fire.

Can’t people realize there is a much more serious problem going on, than this petty thing, as whom is more important. There are service men and women, fighting in a war, side by side, not against color. What needs to be done prohibits such goings on of such hideous paintings and slogans. We have more important things to worry about, such as the virus, which is destroying human lives every single day. Stop all this slander on the whites.
