It was in this library that my grandpa sat me down at the age of 7 and told me what it meant to be black in America. That the structured system that we live in was not built for us to succeed, but instead to suppress us and keeps us fighting amongst ourselves. That the judicial systems, the government, and the officers that are supposed to protect us were never intended to do so. And that are lives appear to be worth less that those of fairer skin. The past events that have occurred over the last few days are appalling, and the facts that people are dismissing them goes to show how flawed this country and those people really are. I'm not overlooking the fact that those officers that were killed wasn't right, but I simply won't allow people to say that the deaths of my two brothers and countless others is okay or allow it to be overlooked. Now is the time to take a stand. My brothers and sisters I beg of you PLEASE don't allow yourself to be a product or a victim of this system. But instead be a beacon of hope by understanding and educating yourself, friends, family, and the next generation so that things like this hopefully do not continue | ✊🏿 #BlackLivesMatter #BlackJustice #UnderstandTheDifference (at Inglewood, California)
