Enough with the trauma porn. While your intention may be to "bring awareness," remember that America is already aware, it just doesn& #39;t care. This is the same country that enslaved Black bodies and gave poor white people the right to police them. (1/ )
This is the same country that replaced slave patrols with police. This is the same country that killed countless Black men and women and gender non-conforming persons in their bed, in their homes, in their cars, in front of their children, (2/ )
...while they were listening to music "too loudly," while they were buying skittles and iced tea. (3/ )
...We don& #39;t need to continue to spread videos of Black bodies bloodied & limp, while the police look down @ their prey. Awareness is here. (4/ )
...The problem is too many ppl still believe police officers are protecting us &/or refuse to detach themselves from a system that was created to keep them "safe" from former slaves. #AbolishThePolice #JacobBlake #BreonnaTaylor
