We know what you're probably thinking right now. "All Lives Matter is a white supremacy thing!"- well, it WAS. Throughout history, we have seen how words have changed their deifinitions. Many things that used to mean something negative now mean something more positive, regardless of where they originally came from. If all those things can get reclaimed, then why can't this too?
Our goal is to reclaim "All Lives Matter" so that it can include the gray area of minorities too: Asians, Latinxs, Hispanics, Romani, Natives/Indigenous peoples etc. We think it's important to mention that the creators of this project are in fact of other minorities/POC (people of color). The idea came to us when we realized how the gray area either never gets talked about or they get forgotten after a short while- we felt like the world only sees b/w. Don't get us wrong; in no way are we saying b/w lives don't matter at all, we just want to shed some light on those who don't get enough attention- aka the gray area!
On this blog, we will only post about people of other minorities who have faced racism to the extremes without proper or even any justice: people who have gotten beaten up, assaulted or murdered. We will add the basic info (name, age, place etc), we might add pictures too if we can find them. For the dead victims, this will be almost like a memorial.
Disclaimer: we may also post about some other people in the gray area who have been killed in general.
If anyone wants to share their story on how they've been harassed or experienced any of the forementioned, they can contact us through e-mail: reclaimingalm@gmail.com
Remember that you're not alone ❤
