ok so the BLM is so important to me because even though I’m white I can use my privilege to stand up for that’s right and protect others as well. One of my best friends is travelling to my state capital since it’s a long weekend for us (I get Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND Monday off from school) and she is going to protest and she’s making signs and signs for people who couldn’t make one or spares for others and I’ve so proud of her. I’ve been putting on my IG story numbers and websites to contact, Barack Obama’s response, and all of these other things to spread awareness and I haven’t seen ONE person in my school (except for that girl protesting) post something about it or spread awareness and I’m like “JUST because we live in Australia and there’s no protests in our area doesn’t mean we can’t spread awareness and speak up about it ffs”
I may not be black but I see you
I may not be black but I hear you
I may not be black but I stand by you
I will protect you, serve, respect, love and spread awareness about you.
You are not alone.
We are here to fight for you.
