An Open Letter To America Part 3 And here’s the thing, you can re-stock a store. You can rebuild a building. But you can’t bring back the innocent lives taken in the name of corruption. Even though America was built on fighting the oppressor, it was also built on being the oppressor. When Jefferson said “all men are created equal” he did not mean all men. He meant all white men. And it’s this discrimination that got America to the mess it is today. But while this entire situation is saddening, it does give me a little bit of hope to see most of the country banding together to fight for what we believe in. And while I hate to see the way the cops are behaving, in the words of a good friend of mine, “sometimes it takes a villain for the world to see what the fuck is wrong with it.” But this, the recent events, do make me sick. People are out here, white people no less, being offended by the protests, and the entire BLM movement. They’re out here saying “All lives matter.” NO FUCKING SHIT, SHERLOCK. But no lives matter until black lives matter. It isn’t infringing on your rights to say that other people have rights as well. This country was built to support the white, straight, cis-gendered, christian man, the petty shit you go through does not compare to the struggles of those who do not qualify all of those requirements. Again, it’s 2020, we should not be fighting about which people are people. Why do people need to be reminded that others are still human? Why do people of color have to fear for their lives every single time they do anything? That is the problem. The riots are the solution. Sincerely, Kay
