Yes a life is a life. But can we stop using the term blacks? It sounds very derogatory. We should maybe use the term black people. I would hate to be described as one of the "whites".
We are all people. A life is a life irrespective of what skin colour is on the outside of that life.
I have long given up on what you are allowed to say it changes by the day. Its about trying to lever political power and an excuse for crime by criminals nothing to do with racism which is just as well as this is taking race relations back to the 1970's
