THREAD: i can‘t even make this up. this lady walks into my moms store and tells her that they’ll be doing a protest at 4 pm along their business strip. she then goes on and says “it’s terrorists that are doing these things!! they say that they’re gonna be raping our wives and -
children!!” does she not realize that there’s a LOT of white people looting and vandalizing businesses so black people can be the ones to blame? there’s countless videos and evidence of this. yet she has this stereotype that they’re being “terrorists” and “rapists.”
i’m not saying that the riots and violence are 100% right because a lot of people fighting for justice are getting hurt, arrested, and falsely accused. but these disgusting stereotypes that some people still have are making it worse because it’s not true! people are TIRED,
ANGRY, and HURT over the fact that the lives of black people have been taken and tormented for CENTURIES. like i saw earlier, George Floyd’s death was the tip of the iceberg. after YEARS of peacefully protesting, kneeling, and non-violent ways of wanting justice, nothing has
changed. if peace hasn’t solved any of the problems, what do you expect people to resort to? this doesn’t make them “terrorists.” these actions are the language of the exhaustion and anger from oppression.
i make this thread to say: please do not feed into stereotypes like the ones she told my mother today if you are uneducated on why this is happening. education is the key to understanding why everything is currently happening. please everyone stay safe!!!
