I would like to talk to you guys about the BLM movement and my side.
I am 100% with the movement.
I feel though that some people don't understand that saying "all lives matter" is a protest to our protest. Let me give you an example, say that my house is on fire and you call the fire department. Right now my house is on fire so I should get attention for it right? Well if you say all houses matter then we should water your house too then right? But your house isn't in fire? So why do we need to water your house?
Let's put this in another perspective,
Say that your house is indeed on fire but it just started/not that big, your house still matters but my house has been on fire the longest now, so I need more attention. We will get to your house, i will also help you pyt your hoyse out but my house is in flames.

There have been plenty of white people protesting bc their team won or lost, reopening beaches etc. You don't see them getting shot, you don't see them scared of the police, getting tear gassed. It makes me mad when people have the audacity to tell me what we are doing is wrong. The news doesn't tell you everything, we are being censored. And I understand, not all looters are protesters. But you can't punish the protesters for some bad apples. You can replace building but you can NOT REPLACE A LIFE! I went to a protest and I watched a fucking cop shove my dad to the ground! Another police officer did the same to mee and took my bodycam. Mind you this was a PEACEFUL protest. An actual peaceful protest that no one even thought about looting! I got maced and the supplies we have gotten was destroyed. Yes George Floyd died and we wanted justice, all four cops are in jail now but we are still protesting...why? Because THIS ISNT THE ONLY TIME BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SHOT, KILLED, ASSUALTED, OR WAS WRONGED BY THE SYSTEM! You cannot look my straight in the eyes and say white privilege isn't a thing because is it. I feared for my life, I thought I was going to get beaten to death when that cop shoved me to the ground. Please do research on the topic, do NOT stay silent because staying silent is violence to us. If you have questions please ask, if you don't agree with me then kindly tell me why and we can either kindly agree to disagree or you can unfollow me

@Cadence36 I am biracial. I am half white half black, I know the pain. I dont have white privilege, they don't even identify my white side. And I'm ok with that. Let's talk about the riots and lootings, We have the right to be angry. A man name George Floyd died from strangulation from a police officers knee for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. He pleaded for him to get off, saying I can't breathe and calling out to his mother. He allegedly had a fake 20 dollar bil which turned out to be real. Let's get this fucking straight. A POLICE MAN STARTED THE FIRES FIRST! There is evidence that an undercover cop started the fire. The protesters were tear gassed and shot by rubber bullets(look up what they are bc you are not supposed to shoot them into peoples faces/eyes) target refused to serve the protesters. Yes they broke into the store, the people who were actually protesting took milk, water and other supplies and set them up outside to help with the tear gass ect.
