why do people interpret “black lives matter” as “only black lives matter”

or “black women matter” as “ONLY black women matter”

we’re taught to hate ourselves and that white is the default, so you don’t need to tell yourself that “white lives matter” because it’s already extremely obvious that white lives matter

just because you aren’t mentioned doesn’t mean you’re not important. it just means this post ain’t for you.
