Making this place a better place for all human beings.

In the face of tragedy, we clutch more desperately for silver linings.  But I think this is different from clutching.  This is the voice of the people breaking through.

AHMAUD ARBERY’S FATHER: "All lives matter, not just blacks. We don't wanna see nobody go through this...It's all our problem. So hey, let's keep fighting, let's keep doing it, & making this place a better place for all human beings -- all human beings. Everybody. Love everybody." pic.twitter.com/E6CNUWv8Pp

Marcus Arbery, father of Ahmaud Arbery, delivered an Age of Enlightenment, Human Universalism message after the guilty verdict against Ahmaud Arbery's killers.  

All lives matter, not just blacks.  We don’t wanna see nobody go through this. I don’t want to see no daddy watch their kid get shot down like that. So it’s all our problem. It’s all our problem. So hey, let’s keep fighting, let’s keep doing it, and making this place a better place for all human beings, all human beings. Everybody. Love everybody. All human beings need to be treated equally.

Amen!  I think it is a clarion call to which 95% of all Americans could respond with enthusiastic endorsement.  Make our communities safer.  All communities.  All lives.

The Mandarin Class, in their pathetic effort to make everything racial, has worked hard to banish "All Lives Matter" as a racist counter-argument.  They are still doing it.  Newsweek does its best to protect the Mandarin Class narrative in No, Ahmaud Arbery's Father Did Not Say 'All Lives Matter' by Khaleda Rahman by trying to distinguish between "All Life Matters" and "All Lives Matter."  A distinction without a difference.  

And a distinction overridden by the substance of Arbery's message.  "I don’t want to see no daddy watch their kid get shot down like that."  Death is not a political slogan.  None of us want any of our children, of any race, taken violently from us.  

The heart of America is big and beautiful and, faced with extremist authoritarian violence and division, is beginning to come out and restate the obvious.  All lives matter.  Freedom matters.  Rule of law matters.  Due process matters.  Natural rights matter.  And on.  The untruths and poison of the repressive class is finally being revealed by the heartfelt voice of the people.
