Mostly just other bllack lives. I would substitute FINALLY or TOO for still. After a few hundred years of being viewed as expendable, it has reached a critical mass and people are finally saying it explicitly.
We are in a place where these killings and injustices are on full display and not nearly enough people are outraged by it. Worse yet, a whole lot of people dismiss and belittle the people who are begging for their own, and their family and friends lives.
That fact is why BLACK LIVES MATTER needs to be said over and over again.
