stop with the performative activism. now is not the time, nor is it really ever, to do something or engage just for likes/rts & then never talk about it again. all lives WILL NEVER matter until black lives do. riots are results of human disregard and fighting for basic human.. 1/
rights. riots have been deemed inherently violent when they’re actually revolutionary & a call to action. the civil rights movement, 2nd wave feminism movement, the stonewall riots are just some examples. the BLM movement is a national movement like those listed above. c*ps 2/
endanger the lives of black people. that’s a fact. stop being ignorant // stop ignoring it. black people are being systematically murdered. many nb ppl & multiple yt ppl don’t care. they literally dont. the media is inherently racist & switches the narrative to make c*ps & the 3/
city // govt officials the victim. that’s not true. media outlets will, and have, villainize black people & the BLM movement. protest your city, call/email your govt officials, spread awareness, and stand for what’s right. use your privilege accordingly & save black lives 4/
white ppl have gotten away evil actions & the u*a is a hypocritical country. save your black friends/strangers/people. save them because they are dying. this a literal fight for their lives. do ppl think peaceful sign making is what brought revolutionary change ? 5/
BLACK LIVES MATTER. fck d**nald t*ump. fck this gov**nment who has proven again & again that they don’t care for black lives. black lives are not disposable !! also link of places to donate if you can. spread the word 6/ https://twitter.com/traderjosephina/status/1266244560906104834?s=21">https://twitter.com/traderjos... https://twitter.com/traderjosephina/status/1266244560906104834">https://twitter.com/traderjos...
it’s been hard to be on social media for the last couple of days. reading up on everything in parts because it’s taking a toll on my mental health & i just really wish my best friend was here right now. she would’ve had much to say & do because this was her livelihood. i can 7/
imagine the pieces denise would’ve written and put forth. that’s all for now. END OF THREAD 8.
