Not to put the OP down but this was occupy.

I think the focus should remain on black lives in this “moment” and then grow to encompass all lives. We are human beings but there are other beings on this planet that we have integral relationships with too.

“All beings matter” should be the ultimate goal in my opinion. The irony is...why we don’t already think/behave this way!
