To anyone with any amount of a platform on here/any social media making the decision to stay quiet while all of this is happening: congratulations, you're the definition of white silence and a large part of the reason why the murderers have yet to be arrested.
I've stayed relatively quiet in the past on Twitter and my social media out of fear that my school, college, potential employers, etc. would see my posts and that scared me off. Not anymore. Not now.
If I get in trouble or lose a job offer because I'm telling the truth that so many ignorant people choose to look away from because it makes them uncomfortable, so be it. We need SO many more white people with platforms speaking the fuck up.
I'm not saying that I have a platform, but I have enough followers on here to the point where I feel obligated to stop being a pussy and finally speak my mind.
Institutionalized racism is real. ACAB. Stop saying "all lives matter" or the god forsaken "blue lives matter". The rioting and looting in Minnesota is reasonable and should be encouraged. Fuck Donald Trump. If any of these statements make you uncomfortable, goodbye.
I only ever knew one cop personally and the few times I heard him speak off-duty, the shit that came out of his mouth made me sick. Homophobic and racist statements, usually subtle but glaring if you took the time to listen to the pig. Fuck. Twelve.
George Floyd did not deserve to die. Derek Chauvin and his buddies need to be arrested and serve life in prison and rot. Also, stop saying "MLK wouldn't have wanted this!" in regards to the riots. Kneeling, peaceful protests, activism, etc. hasn't worked, ever...
...it's time for a revolution. MLK WOULD have wanted this if he saw the current state of the world and the lack of progress the world has made since his passing.
Any white people commenting negatively on the looting, rioting, protesting, etc. make me sick. Never in a million years are you allowed to judge a colored person for their actions when you don't have the first clue about what they deal with on a daily basis.
I might be done, I might not be done with this thread. But I do know that from this point forward, I'm done staying quiet on social media. I'm ashamed it took me this long to speak the fuck up, but I reached my boiling point.
Please unfollow me if any of what I'm posting and saying makes you upset or uncomfortable. You're the problem.
