I see white mass shooters peacefully brought into custody whilst black men are murdered by policemen for minor or ‘suspected’ offences. Just because “all lives matter” doesn’t mean all lives are treated equal. Look around you, why did George Floyd die but Nikolas Cruz live?
#BlackLivesMatter exists because black people and other POC are still having to fight to remind white people that their lives are worth the same as anyone else’s. “All lives matter” - if that was true, why is it only POC routinely murdered by the people meant to protect them?
If you truly believe all lives matter, support the #BlackLivesMatter movement - speak out against the brutal murders of people like George Floyd and Eric Garner, and the countless other POC senselessly murdered. Hold the murderers accountable. Practice what you preach.
Don’t just see this tweet and do nothing. Get involved, sign a petition - tweet. Do something. A man died for nothing, and it will keep happening unless you use your voice to support POC and #BlackLivesMatter https://twitter.com/byersfilms/status/1265762726380539904?s=21 https://twitter.com/byersfilms/status/1265762726380539904
