This is going to be a long one, but I didn’t write this straight away. Although I’ve been supporting BLM over on twitter where there is more stuff getting dug up and posted on it, and I’m really heated.
We look towards people like the police, or any other people who we look towards for help and seeing them abuse their power like this completely scares the hell out of me.
Seeing the man who killed George Floyd have other cases towards his name that has happened throughout the years, and let me tell you, if it was a black person who did all the things Derek Chauvin did, that person would be in prison a lot longer than him, and could possibly end up dead.
There have been more video showing up of more police abusing their power against people’s who skin colour is similar to mine and darker, and it completely makes me sick to my stomach seeing those videos. Being a witness. Watching them happen through a screen, this breaks my heart and makes me so scared.
We live in a world that still discriminate against people of colour. I’m proud to be apart of the black community, and I speak for myself when I say that tears came out of my eyes watching how people of colour are still being treated as ‘bad people’ all because of their skin colour. We can not choose our skin colour. We can not choose how we are born. We can not choose what family we go into. We are all humans beings, yet we are all treated differently.
Black. Lives. Matter. Loves.
Yes, All lives matter. But people of colour are still not getting the same recognition, and are not being treated fairly.
