I know this is not a Monday but I feel the need to write a mid-week blog based on some feedback I had about my recent MM regarding ‘Black Lives Matter’. I had no-idea that I would offend anyone, which only goes to show how uneducated I was about this particular subject.
My intention was to support anti-racism and share how we need to do more to stamp it out – be better people. Unfortunately (this is where the uneducated bit sits) I was not aware by stating ‘All Lives Matter’ as a response to ‘Black Lives Matter’ can be seen as a way of undermining, dismissing or denying the issues at the centre of BLM.
The feedback I received from a couple of sources, gave me a different perspective, it has educated me and I now find myself more informed regarding this matter.
I sincerely apologise to anyone I have offended, this was not my intention.
I have removed the blog from our website, as I now realise, this conflicts with our values as an organisation.
Thank you for the feedback. (CK)
