Most people only learned about it from the Watchmen... I know I did.
Not to detract from what’s going on, there are many racial massacres in US history (Blacks, Asian-pacific, Hispanic, etc). Just want to point out it’s not always white and black. A user in a now deleted post brought up Asian discrimination during the height of covid that did not receive as much attention, and everyone in the thread told OP that now is not the time to talk about his/her suffering. Classic “it’s only a race issue if you’re the right race” responses.
I think OP did a great job of explaining this, but I will add my perspective FTI 1. Here’s another example. There are walks for lupus, there are walks for arthritis and other auto immune illnesses. The thing they have in common is that the body is attacking itself. Hear me out. This post isn’t a disregard of issues of violence against other minorities. We acknowledge that. It’s foul. But I wouldn’t go to a lupus walk and and yell at the speaker to also discuss arthritis even though I know very well that the two can co exist. You want this issue to be discussed. Make a post about it. Bring awareness to it and keep the discussion alive. But don’t attempt to invalidate this disease by bringing up other ailments.

What is sad is this is one of many such massacres that happened. Unfortunately, many were simply "buried"/forgotten in the broader collective memory.

It's not about a competition, but the last I checked, black people are the racial group who have been murdered by law enforcement disproportionately higher than other races. Yes, other groups have experienced discrimination and that needs attention, but those people are living. Black people are having their lives taken from them.
You are not alone in your pain. The hate in this country started on native Americans and did not discrimate from there on

Just as two historical examples. Stand together to stand strong
