If you take no action the fire may spread to your home.
How does the location of the fire change your response?
Of course, this is an analogy about Black Lives Matter.
The fact is this. If this were a perfect world and you said "All lives matter", you would be absolutely right.
But we don't live in that perfect world. We live in a world where the home of the African-American family is on fire. Right now, their home matters more.
How you choose to respond says a lot about who you are.
Don't wait until it's the home next-door to yours that's on fire to become concerned.
Just know that if you don't respond at all, respond with indifference, or throw gasoline on it, the fire may spread to your own home.
How would you want your neighbors to respond to your home being on fire?
