Nothing could be truer.

I needed to read this. How true.

I am speechless. I am speechless that two hours away from where I live, over a hundred and forty children have died. I am speechless. My brothers, my sisters. They aren’t with us anymore, and I am speechless. I can’t tell you how much I’ve cried today, I can’t tell you how depressed, disgusted, sad, horrified and shocked I am at this act of terrorism in the name of ‘God’.

It’s numbing to even try and think about what the mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters feel like right now - I can’t even imagine what it’s like, to send your child to school asking him to do his very best on his mid year, telling him you believe in him, telling him not to leave a single question empty. He left the world instead.

Please don’t think we aren’t important because we aren’t from the well known Western countries. Please don’t let the lives lost be defined by race, language, nation. Please don’t think we deserve this because our oppressors and us, we share a religion - because if these terrorists are ‘muslims’, then I am not. (And believe me when I tell you they’re not. They don’t know anything about Islam, because if they did they would hesitate to use harsh words, let alone guns.)

It takes two seconds to make a prayer. It takes two seconds to spread the word. It takes two seconds to make someone see that the oppressed and oppressors are different, even if they share a religon.

TIME TO GET EDUCATED YOU LITTLE DOLL AND I AM NOT FOOLING AROUND. First of all, Michael was not much bigger than Darren. Both of them were the same height, with Michael being perhaps eighty pounds heavier. Now, I understand that is a significant weight difference. However, Michael Brown was walking down the street, he was unarmed, and he was killed 148 ft away from Darren’s SUV. And also, did you see Darren’s "injuries?" He literally had a shaving cut on his chin and claimed that he had been charged at by Michael, and that they had gotten in a “large fight.” I literally have received worse injuries falling down the stairs than what Darren had. Darren has a history of harassing other people and racial profiling (x, x, x, x.). The police in Ferguson are extremely racist and involved with the KKK. Darren Wilson might be involved with the KKK. What do I expect a police officer to do? I expect him to act lawfully and file a police report. Oh, but wait, he went against protocol and did not. In addition, it would be nearly impossible to grab Darren’s gun out of the holster. Also, oh my god!! He robbed the store! Oh wait, here is a video of Michael paying for his cigars/cigarettes. In addition, the store owner said no one called the police and nothing was stolen. Intoxicated on marijuana? That means Michael could not have even been able to react quickly to be violent. Marijuana causes dizziness, shallow breathing, and slowed reaction time. Darren Wilson literally arrested a man just for being filmed. The autopsy found that Darren shot Michael in his arm while Michael had his arms up, then continued to shoot him as he fell to the floor. In addition, Michael was far away from harming Darren. Ferguson protestors have been peacefully protesting, however cops opened fire on them with rubber bullets. This is actually against the first amendment, which allows freedom of speech and the right to assemble. Just in case you are unaware, rubber bullets can easily be lethal and/or cause serious injury. Really, all the eyewitnesses have sided with Darren? Not from all of this evidence (x, x.) No. People of color are killed by officers and face much more discrimination. In fact, they face seven times more discrimination by police officers than whites. NYPD profiling and targeting LGBT*Q people of color. Black students are given much worse punishments in school and in the criminal justice system. Albany Police: SWAT uses a poor black neighborhood to train in because it is “realistic.” A black man holding a wallet is more likely to be shot than a white man holding a gun. Really? Blacks kill blacks? Every twenty-eight hours an African American is extrajudicially executed in the US, almost one African American killed everyday by law enforcement, security guards, and/or vigilantes. 

Please read up on all of these articles for better education and for anything I missed. (x, x, x, x.)
