Although I haven’t been as vocal, or been as active on this platform site doesn’t mean I have been silent. I’ve been focusing more of my energy towards educating others and fighting against ignorant racism on my other socials such as Facebook, Instagram and twitter. However, I would like to take a moment to reiterate the message on here also being BLACK LIVES HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL MATTER. It is our duty as humans who inhibit this planet to fight for our brothers and sisters and ensure, EVERYONE is entitled to equal rights and not settle for any less. In order to fight against the constant systemic racism, which is implemented still to this day in 2020, we must SPEAK UP AND EDUCATE OTHERS in order to completely dismantle this disgusting ideology.
I have found myself being at a total loss for words recently as I see a lot of people arguing that “all lives matter”, “why are people in the U.K. protesting if it isn’t related to us?” or even “#whiteoutwednesday” and I am frankly disturbed by the ignorance.
As a white British woman, I encourage anyone who follows any of these views, to pull their head out of their arse and believe that this isn’t just an issue subjective to America, systemic racism happens everywhere also and if you can’t acknowledge that then you need to thoroughly educate yourself.
This is OUR FIGHT ALSO!!! If you are white like myself take this time to acknowledge your privilege and use that as a voice for the people who’s voices are only now just being heard! Educate others, your friends, your family, literally anyone- there is absolutely NO EXCUSE to stay silent and not fight against how undeniably wrong people are being treated because of the colour of their skin!! This is an issue that affects everybody.
I’ll finish on the note of, please please please do your part, educate others, DONATE IF AND WHAT YOU CAN! If not promote and spread word of petitions to sign and get your voice out there and fight the good fucking fight! Fight against police brutality as there is no place for it in this day and age and times are indefinitely changing!!!
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor “
Let your voice be heard and MAKE A CHANGE
*if anyone has anything straight up ignorant or racist to write please fucking educate yourself. You selfish bigot. Divert that energy towards educating yourself and knowing how bloody disgusting them views are.*
