[shackelfordspeaks]

One week there are blm posts everywhere the next there is only a few . It’s like y’all stopped caring and got tired of it after a week. Imagine how tired we are of this , getting mistreating and dealing with racism but we been dealing with it for years . Posting blm posts for a week doesn’t make the problem go away that fast . So don’t stop now u started posting keep going and while you are at is sign petitions, donate money , go to a protests .. because whether you realize it or not the problem isn’t going away that easy . Ignoring the problem doesn’t fix anything but doing something about it does. Don’t wait for other people to make something change, be that person to make things change. We all have voices for a reason use it for good. #blacklivesmatter #dontstopnow #keepgoing #wematter #blackisbeautiful

The amount of crying kids i’ve seen all over social media because black innocent men and women are getting killed is heartbreaking. No one would have to live in a world like this but this kids just entered this world and are crying their eyes out because innocent are being taken away and they recognize that .The fact that kids see the wrong in this world before adults who don’t see anything wrong and think that us black people are in the wrong, the president who isn’t doing a damn thing but making things worse and those certain type of police who are taking lives away for no reason . All this hate in the world, but these kids weren’t taught that way instead they weren’t taught to love and it’s shows ... it shows a lot.#blacklivesmatter #spreadlovenothate #wematter #BLM #beautiful #change

I do support: Protestors who try and make a difference in a peaceful and non-terrible way

I do NOT support: "Protestors" who hurt other people, trash other people's (public OR private) property, or act like complete dicks

Simple as that

Don’t tell black people how do deal with their oppression, brutalization, and marginalization. Your “support” means nothing

“Dominate” -meaning have a commanding influence on or to excercise control over .... trump wants to dominate protestors . The ones who are trying to protect innocent lives yeah he wants to dominate them.The people who are standing for what’s right ... *trumps response : “dominate them “. It’s sickening because it isn’t our job but some of us take the time to educate those who don’t understand why the protests are happening , why people are mad, why things need to change . But it’s people like him who don’t listen when we our teaching , who could care less what we are trying to say , who still won’t take the precious time to understand.Minority we weren’t born with respect like others because of the color of our skin and still to this day we are trying to earn it. We are slowly being heard and he wants to shut it down, because he doesn’t like how much attention they are getting . If that doesn’t show you the type of person trump is I don’t know what will.PROTESTORS you are powerful and strong people don’t back down now!!❤️#wematter #blacklivesmatter #BLM #beauitfulcolor #strong #powerful

For tax stamps and walking in the road seriously??... come on now . Slavery ended years ago but it seems like it’s still around just in a different form. We can’t do anything without them automatically trying to take us down why? Because we are BLACK. Well let me tell you something... BLACK is beautiful, strong , intelligent , and so many more. But they know that and they hate it. They hate that the people who used to be slaves are now thriving and doing better than them. They hate that people who used to be slaves can be successful. Well guess what ... they are going have to get over it because they don’t own us anymore ... we can do what we want when we want. All of this killing will end they will respect us for who you are along with the color of our skin . Things are going to change !!So my black kings and queen don’t be scared to let you blackness shine because of other people . We are kings and queen embrace your beautiful skin . 💞

For the next mf who tries to make a comment about black people being irrational in response to yet another senseless murder of a human being👇🏿

Imagine one sunny day, you’re driving downtown to get some groceries. You didn’t go over the speed limit. You didn’t break any laws. But after a while of driving, you hear the familiar sound of a police siren. You tense up, hoping it goes past you, but of course, it’s behind you. So you pull over, and when the cop comes up to the driver’s side window, you ask him what you did wrong, like anyone who did nothing wrong would. You obey everything he asks you to do: you get out the car, you put your hands on the roof, but suddenly you hear him raising his voice. Still, you obey. Even when he draws a gun, you obey. But one moment you’re obeying, and the next, you’re dead on the ground, bleeding out on the pavement.So those of you who aren’t black must think “wow that’s so scary” well guess what it is and that’s the reality of black lives. If we get pulled over by the cops we don’t know if that’s going to be our last day on earth or not.

Interrupting my unnecessary shit posting for something that is actually important

George Floyd, Rekia Boyd, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Jordan Edwards.....These are just a few of the beautiful angels, whose lives were stolen from them and their families as a result of police brutality. It shatters my heart to know that there are so many other beautiful cherubs who have been killed, all of them innocent. When the people who were supposed to protect the innocent are killing them (especially CHILDREN), we know hatred and hostility is poisoning whatever humanity is left in this horrible, twisted society.

Do not look away. Do not close your eyes or stick your head in the sand. Remember them and tell their stories. NOT ALL LIVES MATTER UNTIL BLACK LIVES MATTER
