the events that happen in your life from 14-24 tend to shape you the most—politically, mentally, spiritually—i’ve had 6 of those years (2014-2020). this is important bc in 2015, black ppl were 9x as like to be MURDERED by police. 1/5

last year, 235 black people were killed by cops. this year (only barely 6 months), its been 31. forgive me for not saying/posting anything. EVERY SINGLE one of those people have looked like a family member. 2/5

i have a younger brother going to college in one of the less ~colorful~ parts of our state. so i really am sorry that i can’t sit here and eloquently put my thoughts together for white ppl i know to like/love, repost and comment meaningless things like- 3/5

“we really do need to get better.” bc WE don’t need to do anything. YOU need to go to your friends and families and speak to them. i wasn’t assigned to make you feel better about yourself and your feelings. i’m not the speaker for my race and i’m not the checkbox in your life 4/5

do something if you feel bad. but i really don’t give a fuck if you feel sorry 5/5
