Hello, my name is Matt Whitman, this is the 10 minute Bible Hour Podcast, and I'm going

with an example today that I think will really help us understand the Bible text we're

looking at, but also the dislikely to get everybody's tackles up and make people feel

be like, I don't know, I'd rather say all lives matter because I think all lives matter.

And these two groups that had a preference one way or the other are kind of talking

past each other a little bit, but the first crowd would be like, no, if you don't specifically

say Black Lives Matter, then what you're saying, you're minimizing the struggle and issues

with historical systemic racism, these other things that we perceive in society.

And then the crowd that wanted to say, no, I think all lives matter is good.

They were saying basically like, I'm not sure everything is as racist as you think.

And I think you're maybe not paying as much attention to other lives as you could as

well.

I'm making no statement about whether you should say Black Lives Matter or all lives matter.

I think both statements are probably accurate, but that was a very politically charged, slight
