“America has looted black people. America looted the Native Americans when they first came here, looting is what you do. We learned it from you. We learned violence from you. If you want us to do better, then damnit, you do better.” —Tamika Mallory, Nat. Co-Chair of Women’s March
we are seeing the narrative shift. they are trying to co-opt and sanitize the movement by separating the "legitimate" peaceful protests from the "ilegitimate" riots. don't buy into it. the riots are a legitimate expression of community rage and pain. they want peaceful protests without the threat of riots behind them because those are easy to crush, ignore, or placate with meaningless reforms. the movement needs to be threatening to the established order for meaningful change to be possible.
PRIDE 🏳️🌈
George Floyd was killed by an officer while being handcuffed. He was PLEADING for breath.
A black man asked a woman to put her dog on a leash. The woman then threatened to call the cops on HIM and accuse him of threatening her.
A white pastor claimed two black men kidnapped him to cover up the fact that he was in the hotel room because he was cheating on his wife.
A white woman drowned her nine-year-old son with autism, and said a black man had done it.
Regis Korchinski Paquet was shoved off the balcony by an officer. She died.
Tony McDade, a transgender man, was shot and killed by an officer.
These are all under 72 hours. 3 days. Now, realize what happens in a month.
scomo really said with his WHOLE chest that we shouldn’t “import” US issues into australia… while talking about the protests against racism and said that australia is a “fair country” uuuh okay scumo say that to the higher incarceration rate of indigenous australians in this country (2% of our population make up 27% of those incarcerated), the 400+ aboriginal deaths in police custody, tell that to the history of oppression of the first nation people who had their children stolen, their lands stolen, their LIVES stolen, does that make you “cringe” too? or is that only when you see people fighting back after years of being pushed down and told they are less than worthy of basic fucking human rights. go fuck yourself you ignorant, entitled, arrogant, selfish dickbag.
if you’re white and are protesting, please, please listen to this. if you’re white and have white friends protesting, let them know
this all blows in the face of Black and brown people protesting
Standing in Solidarity
When it comes to helping the environment, you have to be able, well-off, safe, and secure. And minorities all over the US and all over the world do not feel safe in their own homes and their own countries.
George Floyd was just one of thousands of innocent lives taken when the police brought it upon themselves to execute him. This needs to stop. One of the ways that this will stop is by holding these police officers accountable for the murder that they committed, or let happen.
Black lives are human lives, and this is something that society seems to have an issue with coming to terms with. Which is why the second thing that you can do, especially if you are white, is to check yourself. See if anything you are saying might be racist or offensive. See if actions you are doing might be detrimental to PoC, especially BIPoC.
Nobody is perfect, but we must all be working towards the goal of treating everyone as human beings. This is regardless of whether they are PoC, Gender Nonconforming, Ace, Trans, Non-binary, Gay, Disabled, etc. And treating other people as human beings mean to be wary of what you say that can hurt someone else.
Diversify
Many people in privileged circles do not realize that they form social bonds with other people of their same privilege. For instance, white people often follow white people on social media more than they follow PoC. So understand this bias and seek out more creators of color, bloggers of color, etc, so you can get a new perspective.
Also, listen to them when they say something is racist. They may understand it a little better than you.
Donate and spread the word
Not everyone has money, especially during this trying time, but if you an, consider donating to just causes.
One of which is Campaign Zero, which is an organization which works to end police brutality. Also, check out the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Color of Change
Books you might be interested in reading include: The Color of Law The New Jim Crow Stamped from the Beginning and more.
Do what you can to help. Nobody should have to protest because the police are getting away with executing black people. Nobody should have to ve a victim of racist ideas and actions. We should be past this by now.
Let’s make a world where we finally are. PS: I am not going to respond to this post. I am not going to argue with people about whether black lives matter, because they do. I am not going to get into petty arguments with racists or people who defend racists.

Remember that we should always be mindful to give our ongoing support to the Muslim community, not just when violence happens, but to be vocally supportive all the time and to engage with the ignorant so that they hear positive messages about Muslims to create a safer environment for them.
Why do i trigger him so much.
I hurt.
no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice

My soul is hungry.
I’ve so much to say yet.
A field is enough to spend a life in. Harrow, granite and mattress springs, shards and bones, turquoise droppings from pigeons that gorge on nightshade berries, a charm of goldfinch, a flight of linnets, fieldfare and January redwing venturing westward in the dusk, all are folded in the dark of the field, all are folded into the dark of the field and need more days to paint them than life gives.
