Ehhhh welllll... I mean the more horrible truth is that to those in high-up positions of power, NO lives matter all that much. They don't really give a crap about individual human lives. Only money matters, therefore, after themselves (the only people they thing matter) there's a heirarchy that goes; Rich people (any) > white middle-income people > minority middle-income people > low income white people >>>> low income minorities.

There IS a discrepancy for black people in the US, I don't think that can be denied, they are clearly right at the bottom in terms of how much their lives matter to the fatcats, but anyone who thinks that their life actually matters in any meaningful way to those at the top of the tree is fooling themselves.

I feel like the message should be "none of us matter to them, so let's at least equally matter to each other".
