Black Lives Matter does not mean that black lives matters more than others. This movement is focused on putting a stop to the killing of black people by the police. So if that is the focus then why would people carry "alllivesmatter" signs? https://goo.gl/fkF4xb. This hash tag makes it difficult for PR to measure engagement. I have rarely come across a PR agency that is really good at using necessary tools for measurement and analysis https://goo.gl/nNQZNc. Blacks still remain to be at high risk of being targeted for killings than white people. This is just the truth behind the black lives matter movement.
Some of the advantages includes:
A wider spread coverage of content. Many people will participate in the conversation.

It allows mostly the young people to be inspired to make differences in their communities and become better persons tomorrow. However, the movement is more focused on achieving its guiding mission. It makes others be aware that racism still exists,https://goo.gl/gNVEbD. It gives black youth to know what to fight for and give the knowledge about Civil Rights. Finally it gives PR opportunity to discover where the engagement comes from.
Some of the disadvantages includes:

| Am I next to be killed? |
Do Black Lives Matter? Yes they do, but many critics showed that black lives do not matter more than the others. Why is it that whenever blacks promote this message, say they are aggressive and putting the black people on a pedestal? This is because many people do not understand what Black Lives Matter movement is about. They also argue that this Black Lives Matter movement has done more harm than good with its efforts in promoting the causes, https://goo.gl/HT6sv5. It creates division among people. And some people who are against this movement feel offended.

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting Kevinkatlego. According to research, numerous unarmed black men have been brutally killed by the police. They are being stereotyped as criminals and this to the eyes of vigilantes, it gives them enough reason to kill any black man they are suspicious of. This shows that racism still exists. I will share more of these posts.

Unity is all we need to stand against this tragic issue and be able to overcome it and our word of mouth be heard out there.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nokulunga galeta. Black lives won't matter until they matter to black people. Silence is not the answer or the solution anymore.
