    1. “Black Lives Matter” has  been culturally impacted by women. During an interview with Marcia Chatelan, she discusses not only has African American males been targeted by police officers, but so have women. African American women have  been profiled, harassed, sexually assaulted, and brutalized by police because of their gender.  “We know that girls and women of color are also dying. The question is: does anyone care” (Chatelain 3)? The interviewer, Kaavya Asoka, mentioned why the killings of women haven’t received the same attention has men? Chatelan believes  sexism has something to do on why women aren’t getting any attention.  Sexism is an act of being prejudice against women. Police being sexist against women because they believe a man’s skin color is more of a threat.

      What does this have to do with the phrase: Black Lives Matter?
