Milligan, Anthony Lanier II return to Riders' lineup
8h ago
Some key players are back for the Riders as they get ready to host the Redblacks on Saturday at 1 p.m.
If you’ve responded to Black Lives Matter protests with “All lives matter,” you need to listen.
If you diminish these protests going on down south because of the violence that has come along with them, you need to listen.
Listen to the stories and you understand why the term “Black Lives Matter” is the mantra to this movement.
Listen to Montreal Alouettes head coach Khari Jones on receiving death threats because of the colour of his skin and getting a gun drawn on him by police.
Listen to Milt Stegall, who worries about his son heading out in a car when he turns 16 knowing he will get pulled over and treated differently when he does, because Milt lived that reality growing up.
When you listen, you begin to understand. When you listen, you become so much more empathetic.
When you listen, you understand the anger and sometimes you may get angry yourself at the lived experiences people have had based on their skin colour.
So in the last week if you’ve ever thought, “I don’t get it,” you need to keep listening.
