non black mutuals, friends, followers, whoever can see this- i am speaking to YOU directly.
your silence is active violence against black people.
your choice to not see color is the reason we are dead in the streets, killed on camera and posted for entertainment.

we can’t run. we can’t breathe. we can’t sell cd’s. can’t have juice. can’t fail to use a turn signal.
can’t lay on the ground and beg for our lives in a country that was built to oppress us and harm us and silence us

it’s not enough to claim that you’re bot racist anymore.
DO SOMETHING. ask questions, speak on behalf of all the black men and women who have been silenced by those in power for FAR too long.
listen to a black person. learn from them and don’t say “not all white people”

your silence is deafening. and your black friends see it.
we see who actually cares and who doesn’t.
be on the right side of history.
work with us and stop these senseless, brutal killings. black lives matter, show us that you believe that.

if you have questions, ask. like i said, i am not actively tweeting on this account right now, but my DMs are open for those of you who are willing to learn.
before i hop off my high horse, i gotta say this: for some of you that i consider to be my friends- your silence is deafening and honestly really hurtful.
please use this opportunity to learn and express empathy.

i’m out here repeating myself now, but seriously. it’s so exhausting to see people just carry on as if nothing is happening.
i’m not saying you should drop everything and become a #BlackLivesMatter
activist.
but a lot of you have huge platforms. use them. please.
