I'm angry, why aren't you!?

I have thought long and hard about how I've wanted to post about the recent events, and black lives matter. I’ve been posting and sharing things that I feel are important and I want to use the privileged, that I was so conveniently born with. (because of the colour of my skin!!!!) to help those who are not as fortunate like people of colour. It hurts me to see videos, news articles, and racists all over social media. I am no angel, there has most likely, if not definitely, been moments where I haven’t used my voice to correct a racist, but oh how i am sure that i will NEVER slip up happen again.  I know a lot of people are hurt as they think that the black lives matter movement is saying that lives don’t matter, and I’m sorry, but this isn’t about you. This is about those who are being put in danger simply for existing. I’m seeing a lot of posts saying that oh, well this wasn’t covered. This happened and NO-ONE cared. Etc! When it was covered, and people did care. The oppression of black people has been going on for FAR TOO LONG, if you’re upset that peacefully protesting is how we want to get justice, that’s a YOU problem. I wish people would just stop being so selfish, and support those who need it. Use your voice. I’m not saying black people are the only ones who experience racism, they are not! But this is about getting justice for black people. They’re suffering. They’re being targeted.  It angers me, and frustrates me to see people be so bone idle. They cannot see systematic racism right before their eyes.  No one is born racist,  it is built in you, you are shown it, you learn it. You do not just get develop it, you’re not born with it like green eyes, or brown hair, or I don’t know... BLACK SKIN. People are still racist out there, and it’s not okay. it’s disgusting! Disgusting that you want to discriminate against people for no good reason!  I have been surrounded by a mix of different ethnicities my whole upbringing, and I am so thankful that I’ve had a family that have opened me up to people, and I am not born into a family that agrees with the deaths of innocent black peoples.  I am so thankful that I know how to treat people, unlike a lot of racists and a lot of police officers.  If you can sit back and see all this stuff, and not feel fucking angry, then you are the problem. I don’t know how anybody is not frustrated by this, and I’m frustrated and I’m WHITE!!! IMAGINE how black people feel, and how angry and hurt they are.  Black lives matter is not a trend, it’s a movement. People deserve the right to walk the streets without fearing they’re going to be killed, for matching a description, or cause someone called the police and lied. I will continue to support BLM and use my voice, and use my white privilege to try and change things, because we need to trigger change for people of colour,  for the diversity, for making a stand. it’s so disgusting that it’s a thing, and I will not stop until things have changed.  I am one piece of this big puzzle, however you cannot complete a puzzle without that piece. So, for all those people that think their voice doesn’t matter, because they’re in the UK and it was in the US, Racism is very much in the UK. Although, the US is bigger and it’s perceived as worse, it’s not. Racism is racism, no matter how much, how small it is, racism is flat out wrong. The killing of innocent people is FLAT OUT WRONG. If you are racist, please please don’t ever speak to me ever again, don’t ever associate yourself with me, and do you not have me on social media.  I don’t want to be surrounded by people that are that vile,and that is the nicest way I can put it.  I’m so tired of you all talking about white people and how they’ve been hurt when it’s not about white people, it’s about black people and the years of oppression they’ve experienced, it needs to CHANGE.  I’m still learning, I am still continuing to educate myself, I am trying my best to support where I can. I’m talking on my social media platforms, I’m sharing petitions and signing them, I will donate when I can, I’m reading black authors, I’m supporting black businesses, and there is so many things you can do. If you think sharing and being a voice and an advocate for black lives matter on your social media is not going to help, then listen. WE CANNOT STAY SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER. We should still doing everything we can! Everywhere in the world, we need to push, because the more we protest, and plod on, and push for change, the more likely it will come! Change doesn’t come from sitting back whilst people are being murdered.  I know that people might read this and not like it, and you are the kind of people I do not wanna be involved. I am not sorry for speaking out, I am not sorry for sharing about black lives matter, I am sorry that they have to experience this horror, and injustice. I am disgusted it still happens, and I will keep fighting alongside them. I stand with those who are fighting.  Again, We cannot stay silent about things that matter. I am going to push as much as I can, I am going to surround myself with people who are also behind this movement and PRO black.  Just little reminder that pro black, does not mean anti white, and black lives matter does not mean white lives or other ethincities lives don’t matter; it means that all lives cannot fucking matter UNTIL innocent black people stop getting murdered for nothing and I can’t stress that enough.  Imagine, a white man kills 20 people in a shooting in America (typical!), does he get shot by the police on arrival? Does he get arrested? Or given some water? OR get handcuffed and pushed to the ground, with a knee on his neck for NINE MINUTES? You’d think as a shooter, that  killed 20 innocent people, he would be restrained, he would be manhandled! You know, because he’s a murderer? But no! He’ll get popped into handcuffs, they’ll give him some water ‘cause hydration is important, and make sure he’s okay. Whilst sitting in the back of the police car, still alive;still treated  like a fucking human being, and he’ll get send down. But not the way he should, cause he’ll blame mental health...  but let’s change your skin colour and think of the THAT scenario, we know he would dead instantly.  I feel very strongly this issue, and like I said I will continue to fight. I am not sorry if I’ve offended you, or upset you, because this isn’t about you. This is about all those innocent people.  Use your voice! Use your white privilege! Scream until it burn! We need justice, and CHANGE.  I’m angry, are you?  ReplyForward
