That is what its about.
[rule]
They are just saying BlackLivesMatter and reminding some black people that also includes black women and black LGBTQ people as well. They take the time to point out those subgroups because in our black community there are some who do not treat black women with respect and are misogynistic. There are some who are homophobic and transphobic and don't care about LGBTQ issues even though their are black people in those communities and that they are still part of out community as well.
So the point of them saying that is because if a black women is dealing with sexism in the work place we all black people should be just as up in arms about that because she is a black life as well.
When a gay black person is being discriminated against because of homophobia we all as black people should be up in arms to defend them cause they are a black life as well.
If a trans black person is killed because they are trans we all as black should fight for their justice just as much as well because that is a black life as well.
Them bringing up the subgroups really comes down to making it ok and acceptable for all types of black people to be faces and for the movement AND to have all types of black peoples including those subgroups in our black community backed by the movement.
Idk why this is hard to understand. Seemed clear to me.
Repped.
