When’s the first time your parents sat you down to warn you about walking home with friends, or going to a party, or existing, or to have the talk about how to speak to police officers. If the answer is never you need to realize how different your life can be from privilege

Me and my friend once got the police called on us while we were walking home from MIDDLE SCHOOL, like, 12 years old, like 4pm on a Wednesday and two cop cars pulled alongside and questioned us

One time in middle school I was followed home by a cop car and key in the door of my apartment building I heard a siren whoop, and the cop asked me if I lived there,,, the place I had just put a key in to.

I’ve never done anything criminal in my life but I still have to fear for it whenever there’s someone, I’ve been told by the world my whole 18 years is there to protect me.
I know people who are even too scared to CALL THE COPS IN AN EMERGENCY cause they might make it worse.

Silence is siding with the oppressors.
And you have to do more than just donate, you have to do more than just protest. Those are steps in the right direction but odds are you or people you know don’t recognize the inherent privilege they’ve had since birth, which is undeniable.
