George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in America because he was black.
We keep saying “how does this happen in 2020?” instead of understanding that the violence against black folks in America has never stopped, it’s just getting filmed now. (Will Smith said that)
YOU (my fellow white folks) ignore your families blatant racism because “it’s just how they were raised”
YOU hold your purse tighter when a black man passes you on the street
YOU benefit from black culture without standing up for black people, YOU refuse to accept that your privileged just by the color of your skin, & refuse to accept that being a person a person of color in America is deadly.
These are just a few examples of why things aren’t changing, but YOU can change things. Text FLOYD to 55156 to demand that the officers who took his life are charged, sign the petition http://justiceforbigfloyd.com  & use your privilege to help marginalized communities. Please.
