We are human beings just like everyone else. This country is built on racism and oppression and it continues to be enforced it to this day. At the big year of 2020. Itâs sick and I just want it to end. Weâre killed simply for the color of our skin, something+

#BlackLivesMatter
we canât even control. Black lives fucking matter. We fucking matter. I understand today has been very traumatic, especially for my black bothers and sisters. For my non-black mutuals please, I urge you to use your voice and speak up on things that matter.
Your skin tone does not play a factor in your hardships like mine does, so please use your privilege to speak up for the systematically oppressed. Iâm fucking scared. My heart skips a fucking beat whenever I see a police car, something thatâs supposed to make me feel âsafeâ.
The police are supposed to protect us, but instead they kill us. For holding a cellphone. For going on a walk. FOR BREATHING. All these things none of my non-black friends will ever have to worry about being the âcauseâ of their death. It makes me fucking sick.
So please, non-black allys, donât be a performative activist. Stop with the fucking copy pastas and actually DO something. Use your privilege to speak up, raise awareness, sign a petition, literally ANYTHING you can but please, just dont be silent. Silence is fucking compliance.
Black people are being KILLED. For EXISTING. Youâre not âneutralâ, youâre on the side of the oppressor. Reflect on that when you choose to be silent.
If you have any time, please sign this petition. I donât have many followers so Iâm not sure how far this thread will go, but Iâm still willing to speak up and you should be too. Thank you. http://chng.it/mgRFDdSp
