How dare you be different from me
How dare you not look, talk, think,
Feel
As I do
How dare you constantly suggest
As you do by being other
That I
What I think
What I feel
What I am
Is wrong
How dare you suggest
As you do by being other
That I am not the standard
By which all should be judged
How dare you
As you do by being other
Make me feel uneasy
Insecure
“Uncomfortable”
I will hurt you for your insult
Of not being like me
I will punish you for this affront
I will righteously condemn you for your crime
Of existing
As “other”:
How dare you be different from me
How DARE you be DIFFERENT from me

Exactly. To protest police brutality against Blacks, a peaceful movement was started, called "Black Lives Matter". Amongst the pro Conservative/religious, BLM was labeled "A terrorist group hostile to America's Christian values". Even among "liberal White Christians", they failed to understand the name BLM and in sermons and statements on the topic, responded with the tag phrase, "All Lives Matter." EXCEPT Black Lives(Don't)Matter.
