that video of the woman saying she was going to call the police and tell them “an african american is threatening my life” because he told her to put a leash on her dog still infuriates me
and seeing people in john boyega’s reply section talking about a*l lives matter makes me so angry to my stomach
black lives matter is not saying “ONLY black lives matter and no one else”, it’s a movement to say “black lives matter TOO”
if a house is on fire in a neighbourhood, you wouldn’t just spray a hose on all the other unaffected houses because “all houses matter”??? the movement is about bringing light to victims that were k!lled by the police for NO reason
a*l lives matter was made by white people because they felt upset that they weren’t lincluded”. white people have never been discriminated for their skin colour, therefore cannot be put in the same category
and don’t even start on “well black people are more likely to be killed by other balck people” BECAUSE THAT ISN’T THE POINT OF BLM. BLM FOCUSES ON THE POLICE ABUSING THEIR AUTHORITY TO K!LL INNOCENT BLACK PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULDN’T HAVE K!LLED WHITE PEOPLE FOR
i’m sorry if none of this is flowing because im just venting whatever comes to mind. i’m sure there’s more i wanna say but when it comes to mind, i’ll add on to this thread

and i feel sorry that i’m talking about it now, when this shit has always been happening but i will always defend this organisation. ACAB
