I need to say something though, as I begin writing, I& #39;m not at all certain what it is. I& #39;m tired. I& #39;m fed up. I& #39;m angry. I& #39;m sad. Rioting is not the solution, though I& #39;m at a loss for a better one. Clearly, working within the system is not working and 1/8
...people who feel they& #39;ve nothing left to lose feel that they& #39;ve nothing left to lose. When all other options have been exhausted, what are the desperate to do?
I& #39;m gay. Someone told me to my face I am responsible for the fall of western civilization. You know what though? 2/8

...Push comes to shove, I can mask my gayness and take refuge behind my white skin. Don& #39;t talk to me about "respect" and "compliance" of any sort. I& #39;ve said wildly inappropriate and inflammatory things to cops in a fit of rage without repercussion. 3/8

...the one thing they know for certain is that I& #39;m not a black male. My entire misspent youth is empirical evidence that white privilege is very real in our culture.
So I don& #39;t think rioting is effective but I am completely devoid of any other solution at present. 5/8

...What is someone supposed to do when the system turns a willfully deaf ear to the suffering, injustice, and oppression it causes? I can& #39;t even tell you I wouldn& #39;t do the same thing in that circumstance. What I do know is that every time something like this happens, 6/8
...be it officer involved, white vigilantes who think their skin color imparts authority, or Karen doesn& #39;t wanna leash her dog, I see the pain and the outrage and the sadness of my black friends as I scroll through social media and I weep for them. 7/8
Something is very broken in the land of the free and I for one am sick to death of it. #BlackLivesMatter
