How does Black Lives Matter matter to other parts of the world, especially the parts that are predominantly not black nor white, but Asians? The devastating situation in the US right now is what happens when the systematic construct of a society constantly put down a group of minority and voiceless:

the under-representation of black people in politics and entertainment, the former has profound and lasting impact on their quality of life and the former nurtures their soul
the US long-standing hidden bigotry and contempt of a group of white people, raised to think that their complexion makes them superior, and want to unjustly demand for privilege
the above is linked to a flawed education system that widely differ from state to state, black neighborhood to white neighborhood, that bring up widely different people, it is only a matter of the time until they clash

Seeing these happenings in the US, while living inside Singapore society, is like being in the middle of two contrasts and helped me learn great lessons about nurturing a society. A good and accessible education to all, a thoughtful scene of entertainment for all, and honest and humane politics toward all. Those are the recipe of a great nation and happy people.

It is important to learn how a society work, so that you can help contribute into it, or spot the failing of a society, to make good choices for yourself and your family. Humans today were born to rely on each other in a society, otherwise the world wouldn't be so populated by us. So even if you want or doesn't want to, you are a part of society and need to learn to live in it.
