Jeri, if this was aimed at me then I think you may have missed my point:

"Can we quit the "whataboutism" now?"

What I was trying to point out was that so many black people are killed or assaulted or incarcerated by police and little or no action is taken against the police officers, however when the roles are reversed suddenly the full force of "justice" is brought into play and the black police officer is charged and convicted within two short years. The whataboutism is, what about all of those injured or killed or incarcerated black people whose lives mean nothing to the people in power?

And if some people are saying, "All lives matter equally" then it is time to level out the imbalance and that's why black lives matter at the present time because the inequality between black and white people is huge and all of the elements contributing to this inequality need to be resolved as a matter of urgency.

Bring all people to an equal footing in terms of education, social situations, justice, health, and all of the contributing factors.
