I usually am the quite one. The one who goes unnoticed in a crowd. The wallpaper, if you may. But that's until I see something that doesn't seat right with me. When someone thinks or feels that someone is less than them may whatever the reason it may be, I will raise my voice. I will make it known that it is wrong. Racism has been an issue for hundreds of years, our brothers and sisters have fought for justice from the start. Being black is not a crime. Being black does not make one a criminal but treating them like one may. Let's all stand in solidarity for what's right. Unrest is the only way to peace. If we are comfortable, we won't change. Let's choose their side because choosing no side is ultimately choosing the wrong one.
Nothing absolutely nothing can change for those who have felt the burn of racism in the past but the least we can do is help them with the pain by making sure that this doesn't continue in the future.
I am going to do my bit by donating to charities.
And for the next I don't know how much time I will be reading only from black creators.
Let's show our love to our black community on wattpad. Let's read their books, let's make their voices heard. ✊✊
