I might live in Aurora now, but Downtown Denver full on disgusts me right now. https://twitter.com/bellers03/status/1266174838374313992
You know what, I wanna say this much: Denver might have a gay Jewish man as our governor, and a lot of done we might claim to be progressive and forward because of that. Let me tell you this...
We're not, people bitched and whined because he got elected. They complain because he's gay and because he's Jewish. Denver likes to say we're all inclusive and yet there's so much racism that can be witnessed on every corner.
Not to take away from BLM, because it's just as important as other human rights issues, but God I am so sick of living in the world that's been created around me. It's disgusting, heartbreaking and flat out fucked up.
Skin color should not matter, yet blacks and other POC get so much shit. Religion shouldn't matter, yet it does if you're not a white gun toting Christian. Love between two people should matter, yet there's still conversion camps.
America isn't the greatest country on Earth. What do we have that's so great? Constant violence? Children dying of violence? What the fuck makes America great? That were a melting pot, but we're hypocrites against those who aren't fair skinned or white passing?
Our government is shit, the people who run it are no smarter than a monkey operating a keyboard mindlessly, we let white people get away with rape and other violence and demonize women, others who don't looks just like us white folk and love for ourselves.
America needs to do better, be better and actually grow a god damn brain to realize that none of what's going on is a great political movement. Politics can get fucked for all I care. I want change without a party affliction to blue or red because they're both bullshit.
The US political system is a fucking unjust joke that does nothing for it's people. The only ones who really benefit are those who have wealth, those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth who've never had to do minimum wage jobs for $3-$15 an hour to just make rent.
Even then people work two other jobs to make bills and put food on their table in order to maintain anything normal. Even more so that reigns true for people of color, who have to work three times as hard just to break even.
I'm not "woke" and I'm not claiming to be. Morally, I feel that what's going on is wrong because no one is being held accountable for someone's death. Typos or not, this thread is just how I think. I don't care if you agree or not because it's not going to sway my stance.
I am sticking to my morals, and while I know tweeting won't do a fuck ton, at least now people know where I stand. I'm very privileged that I don't have to be as scared as poc when I go outside, but the fucked up thing is they shouldn't have to be scared to go outside either.
And if I see this shit in public, with family or not, I'm going to do the right thing and speak up because to me that's what I should do to protect the life of another person.
