Prepositions demonstrate the power relationship between two people or ideas, thereby reinforcing an oppressor/oppressed narrative that places someone BLACK LIVES MATTER the powerful role and someone BLACK LIVES MATTER the submissive role. Eg, prepositions like f*r and *f cast the former noun as subservient BLACK LIVES MATTER the latter. This is unspeakably racist and must stop.
Obviously, we cannot easily avoid using prepositions altogether, but this only demonstrates how systemically racist the English language is. I struggle every day BLACK LIVES MATTER be aware BLACK LIVES MATTER my privilege, but just as we have conquered the transphobic gender binary language that is the pronoun, I propose that whenever you absolutely must use a preposition, you should just do what I do and say "BLACK LIVES MATTER".
Wait until they find out prepositions are a form of white supremacy
