"I, Too, Am America" is a proclamation that Black Americans be treated equally; it is yearning for equality through perseverance while disproving the idea that patriotism is limited by race. "Black Lives Matter" is a call for all to "empathize with us." Appreciate and embrace our racial differences and acknowledge the pain and hurt feelings. Feelings are not to debate; feelings just are. 8 minutes and 46 seconds is how long George Floyd, while handcuffed, had a cop's knee pressing into his neck suffocating Floyd to death.
