The Phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ Is Now A Frequent Sight In America.

 

The phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ is now a frequent sight in America.

n the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” commenced to show up everywhere: on front lawns and back bumpers, on NBA players’ warm-up shirts in the course of pregame shoot-arounds, on gamers’ title displays when they fired up “FIFA 20,” on the tongues of longtime activists, college coaches, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). On the chests of Black people declaring their humanity and White people professing their allyship.

After former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder, Lisa Granade, a 40-year-old White woman, finally got around to placing up a signal on her property, in an overwhelmingly White Seattle neighborhood. Granade selected a black flag with a rainbow-colored fist clenched in solidarity, hanging it on a street-facing fence alongside banners assisting LGBTQ rights and opposing gun violence.

And that’s how she ended up standing in the front of her residence getting yelled at and called a “racist” through another White woman in athleisure wear.
