lying ? Nobody lied . You said you didn’t want us affiliated with you guys because we plan on holding a counter protest . I mentioned we were not affiliated with you because you guys do not own BLM , you guys are protesting for black lives and I am one of those black lives . https://twitter.com/yourearichard/status/1316975182364307457

If you don’t want me around your group , that’s fine I won’t be going back , I don’t want to put in jeopardy whatever you guys have going on . However , trying to say just because we are with you guys for a few days does not mean we are all together . We are fighting the same -

Fight and to me I feel you guys are using it more for social media than actually change . We gave you guys ideas on how to help and improve your ‘ protest ‘ and you guys shut it down because it consisted of letting Erika step away from the scene for a while .

When questioned as to why you guys were protesting you had one of your members tell us that we didn’t have to ask that , and why does race matter .

Hun your core leader is a white woman , and when black voices went out there to speak you didn’t want to hear it . So now when we speak again you’re trying to shut us up and say we are lying . You are being part of the problem .

Pt .1

Pt. 2

I showed up for two days to show my solidarity. Both days I didn’t see much of reform or change . You didn’t want your group to get bigger . You didn’t have any plans for the future . You guys even had the audacity to THANK one of my peers for showing up when she is BLACK .

Again I’m not canceling you guys , I want you to get educated as to why Black Lives Matter and that it isn’t a slogan used for show . I respect your decision for not wanting us affiliated with you , respect mine for calling you out on it .
