What started out as a peaceful day at the Washington monument picnicking. Ended in turmoil. I almost died. And I wasn’t even protesting. I’m traumatized. I am black in America.
On May 31st at 11pm at night I thought I was never going to make it home. Getting trapped in dc, and witnessing police shoot and bomb people. I was legitimately shocked and disgusted, but moreover in anger. I was thinking to myself, this is it. As I left DC. I don’t know where to begin to express the anger and rage I feel towards police. But if your a white person and you don’t understand your privilege then you are disgustingly apart of the problem. Genuinely I am aware this is a systematic issue but I have to ask is this a fade? I see people posting black lives matter, but what are you actively doing to actually help. Are you actually helping? A simple retweet. But then living as if the world doesn’t affect you is selfish. Does your word even hold weight when you post something but then keep with your silly ideas and live in a fantasy world.
I wish America liked black people as much as they like black culture.
I wish America liked black people as much as they liked fetishizing black men.
I wish America liked black people as much as they liked big butts, big boobs, hips, curves.
I wish America liked black people as much as they like saying the word nigga
This is a systematic issue. This system can no longer work, it isn’t working and will eventually stop working.
Check up on your black/brown and moor friends. No longer live in denial or be silent. And if your of color and you choose to live in denial it’ll be your turn one day when you experience a situation where your race factors in wether you live or die. Then you’ll realize that police are not your friend, they view you as a nigga and you need to arm protect and defend yourself.
I am not promoting violence. I am promoting the fact that you need to wake up, and understand your history. Our world. And that you need to protect yourself. Police where only invented to control “black” people. So why would I ever trust them. This system was only built for white men.
Change the system.
What are you doing to fix the problem?
