#blackoutday2020 #blacklivesmatter #indigenouslivesmatter Racism is a systemic disease. It deteriorates the fabric of society, and destroys lives. It breeds hate, ignorance, privilege, and inequality. Now more than, we need to listen. When people of colour speak out against racism, detail their experiences of discrimination, and ask for help in times of need, we need to listen. Especially, within our own poc communities. It may not be something you have experienced, but that does not make someone else's experience invalid. African American people in America are being oppressed and killed. Indigenous people across Australia are being dehumanised, disappeared, and killed. Tamils in Sri Lanka are being vilified and attacked. We are incredibly privileged to be able to share our views on social media. But privilege doesn't give you the freedom to discriminate, to be ignorant, or to view yourself higher than others. Instead use privilege to aid, educate, advocate, assist, learn, understand, teach, share, and care for others. Because we choose life over death, love over hate, inclusion over discrimination, community over greed. Humanity over depravity. #poc #pocpov #humanityoverdepravity #lovenothate https://www.instagram.com/p/CA7NpG2hQCN/?igshid=106keki4ilm26
