i understand that i typically don’t post these sorts of things on here and perhaps i waited too long to post about this topic (i have spoken on other platforms and have been focusing on signing petitions to show my support) but i find it important to speak out about.
i do not see this as “discourse” so much as a fight for human rights, so i will not refrain from posting it about it on this blog.
police brutality is a large issue, especially among people of color. black people, such as the more recent George Floyd, are unjustly killed by police and it is the time to stand against that. know that i myself am white, and therefore i do not have the right to speak over people of color and i will never fully understand the experiences they go through, but i can stand with them.
know that i am in support of the protests. i believe that this is a very hefty situation that deserves to be dealt with in a similar way. if the only way to get people to listen is to protest, then that is the best course of action.
i ask that, if you haven’t already, you take the time to sign whatever petitions you can to help out as much as possible and donate if you are able to.
i apologize for not speaking about this sooner. if i lose followers for this, i won’t care. i care more about the lives and rights of people of color than i do a tumblr following.
