Not Another #Hashtag

"Identify me by my skin, see me as if i were only a color. How many bullets have to be sent off into one of us, for us to realize they do it for sport? How many hashtags must we become to understand it is real. We are not the slaves they still see us as. We are not the tears they make us cry. We are not the blood they have us shed. We are real. We are threats to them. We are black." -Sanai Ja'Harmi Matthews
