I ask that you please take this situation into heart. We have seen too many black lives taken by our own system that was built to protect their citizens. Yet, they have failed us greatly.
This is not solely in the name of George Flyod, but ALL OF THE BLACK LIVES that have taken by the hands of the police.
I would also like to mention that news media has been alternating the real situation. Please understand that citizens have always protested PEACEFULLY and those violent acts were not started by us.
Keep in mind that everything we say regarding the President, government, black lives moment, is all being MONITORED. Be careful of what you say, be careful of what you share.
For years, blacks have been silenced and they have dealt with this racism all their lives. We need to come together and fight for them. Violence is always avoided, however, violence is the only answer that history has proven to have an effect. There was never peace on this land, not once.
DO NOT forget that the coronavirus has yet to find a cure. Protesting is the best way to show your support, but please be careful. You are not immune when you simply put on a mask. You are also not immune to pepper sprays, mace, and rubber bullets the police have used on hundreds of peaceful protestors.
I ask that you take precautions when you go outside as the situation is now tense and serious. Be wary of your surroundings. If you cannot attend these protests, there are hundreds of petitions and donation websites for Flyod, arrested innocent protestors, and brutality victims. I will link a few on my profile.
Continue to education your co-workers, friends, and family. Your efforts may not be seen instantly, but they will help in the long run.
