Letters: 'All lives matter'

'All lives matter'

I love Grey's Anatomy star and Temple University alum Jesse Williams. And yes, his speech at the BET Awards was powerful and important ("BET Awards' exhortation that 'Black Lives Matter,' " Tuesday). He failed to mention, however, that there are many white men, women, and children who would and do rally to support the fact that all lives matter - including black lives.

So while Williams makes valid, emotional, and powerful speeches, he should not lump all white people into one racial category. Every race has its good and its bad, its benevolent and its evil.

And maybe we should try saying, "Human lives matter," rather than subdividing people by their race, religion, or sexual preference.
