I also feel like I need to say something about what’s been happening this past week with the #BlackLivesMatter. I fully support this. I,myself, am a white girl in the UK and I am fully aware of how privileged I am compared to others and I am grateful for that however it is not acceptable to see people of colour to get treated badly purely because of their colour of their skin. It is something they can’t control! They are humans and deserves rights just as every single person on this planet does. Killing them and using the excuse that they are doing it as defense is bullshit! I pray that George Floyd gets the justice he righteously deserves cause he was an honest man in his lifetime and he will be remembered as an angel. Police in the US need to get their shit together. Police brutality shouldn’t even be questionable. First of all there should be laws against guns like we have in the UK, I don’t care if it’s “self defense” because why would you even need that dangerous “defense” if they can’t even get hold of guns at a local grocery store! That’s just wrong on all levels! Police brutality is getting way too out of hand. And those going out protesting I understand that but please don’t get involved in the riots because it’s giving the media a change to portray black people as monsters for causing a riot and would focus on that instead of the message you actually want to give. Trust me I am studying in the media industry and I know exactly how the media thinks, they will do anything to get a headline. I don’t ever rant like this but it needs to be said. I hope all of you are staying safe in these difficult times and to those of you struggling with this I am on your side and I am always there if you need to talk <3
