“So you’re saying only black lives matter? That’s racist.”

The Black Lives Movement against police brutality is essential. But several misconceptions about Black Lives Matter are still far too common – and there’s a good chance that you’ve heard these misconceptions or that you believe them yourself.

Here’s Franchesca Ramsey with an episode of MTV Decoded that shuts down the most common Black Lives Matter myths once and for all.

So if you’re worried about “black on black crime,” the safety of police officers, or about white victims of police violence, these facts will put it all in perspective.

You’ll also find out why these myths are actually disingenuous distractions from the necessary movement for black lives – which means it’s time to stop repeating them, once and for all.
