When “Too” Becomes a Whole Revelation

Here’s what gets under my skin:
We wouldn’t even need the word “too” if people weren’t working overtime pretending they don’t understand basic English. 😒📚

When we say Black Lives Matter, we’re not declaring exclusivity — we’re correcting an imbalance.
We’re naming a wound the world keeps trying to cover with denial and deflection. ✊🏾🖤

And every time Black people speak our humanity plainly, suddenly somebody transforms into a linguist, a theologian, a philosopher — anything to avoid the truth right in front of them. 🙄📖💭

Now… on to the Jesus deflection, because this is where the mask slips:

Weaponizing Christ to silence the pain of Black people is not ministry.
It’s manipulation. Full stop. ✝️🚫

If you truly know Jesus — if you’ve walked with Him, studied Him, felt Him move ...then you KNOW He never erased the wounded just to keep the comfortable from squirming.
He centered the oppressed.
He named the hurting.
He restored the people society tried to discard. 🔥✝️

So when someone says,
“Jesus died for everyone, so stop saying Black Lives Matter,”
what they’re actually doing is hiding behind His name so they don’t have to confront their own discomfort with racial truth. 😑

Nobody is debating whether all lives matter.
We learned that in Sunday School, Scripture, and the red letters themselves.
The debate is whether Black lives are allowed to matter in practice, not just in religious theory. 📖✊🏾

If you can’t even say “Black Lives Matter” without choking on it…
You’re not defending unity — you’re revealing bias. 🧩

Our lives matter.
Our children matter.
Our elders matter.
Our communities matter.
Too. 🖤

And if that one small word — too — is what finally helps the meaning land for someone, that says more about their heart than it does about our message.
