The first section addresses a common misconception. Saying Black Lives Matter is not an argument for supremacy, nor is it a claim that Black lives should matter more than anyone else's. It is an attempt to correct an existing imbalance, not to create a new one.

The movement is a direct response to that reality, serving as a reminder that we cannot truly claim everyone matters equally until the system actually treats them that way.
