Black lives always mattered, eminently!
In the wake of the senseless and egregious murder of George Floyd, I’m deeply pained and conflicted. Pained because I want to know why it took one more person to die in order for the world to wake up. Conflicted because I don’t want to become desensitized to murder. I wake up, consciously avoiding the urge to participate in the audio or visual intake of the disinformed false narrative fed by mainstream American media to the world regarding systemic racism. I'd instead choose not to participate in such a false story about a reality in which I was born. This is not easy but necessary for me. Utilizing other outlets to get the majority of my current events. It's incomprehensible how many people are unaware of the media bias biases. Tragically in 2020, although it may seem we have come a long way, it is evident that America has a long bridge to cross as it pertains to systemic racism. Black people have achieved and contributed so much to America and the world. While praised and exploited for these accomplishments, they have been consistently fed the narrative of being less than.
