Hey guys, I just want to take this time to speak up about the things going on in our world right now. America is slowly opening back up after going through a tragic pandemic that took many lives. Now, America is tackling another threat. Racism. A problem that's been a problem for too long. For too long, Black and Brown people, human beings, have been oppressed, angry, and hurt from being beaten and killed by racists. The black community and friends of the black community are making sure that the anger and frustration and the pain is known. Signing petitions, donating, and protesting are ways you can either show your support, or share your frustration. I live in New York City and so far have joined two protests and I can tell you first hand what a great feeling it is to be out there making your voice heard. If you are a person who doesn't see the problem at hand then you can go ahead and unfollow.
America has a president who thinks its okay to mock and call victims of racism and police brutality "thugs". He thinks it's okay to scare people with big guns, sound cannons, rubber bullets, tear gas, and National Guards. Some people say America evolved but I don't see a difference between now and 60 years ago. Or 60 years before that. A presidents job in the middle of a crisis is to reassure their people and make them feel safe. Donald Trump has done the complete opposite. I encourage everyone who can, to vote, and sign petitions to demand the justice of the police officers who have killed innocent black people and got away with it.
Say Their Names,
George Floyd
Breonna Taylor
Sandra Bland
Trayvon Martin
Eric Garner
And sadly so many others. This has to stop.
