In many subjects I am not one to speak up, however if I feel strongly about a subject I will give my opinion. Black Lives Matter is a movement that should not be pushed to the side. A lot of people of non-color tend to complain because they don’t have a movement of their own. Well in my opinion you should be glad you don’t have a movement and you should be glad you don’t have to fight to feel welcome in a country that is so called “The land of the free.” It’s okay for people of non-color to not understand what it is like to be treated for having a different skin tone. But what is not okay is being silent.
Black men and women have been fighting for their lives to be equal for centuries. They need to be heard, they need to be loved and they need to be cherished. 99% of killings by police from 2013 to 2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime. If you shoot a black man or women it should not be a “Don’t do it again” type of situation. If you did the crime own up to it. It you did the crime take the real punishment.
BLACK PEOPLE NEED JUSTICE! Do not let the people who have made these unforgivable actions walk free. Be the voice for George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Breonna Taylor, and all the other black men and women killed from police brutality. Be the voice they no longer have. Support black mothers and fathers. Support black children. Support black futures. Support black men and women in the LGBTQ. We need real awareness with real action and real justice. And that can only happen with your help.
Here I will leave links to Black Lives Matter Awarenesses to check it out! Please do whatever you can to help. Whether it be protesting, signing a petition, or donations, anything helps!!
