American Revolution - 246 years ago

Slavery abolished - 155 years ago

Civil Rights Act of 1964 - 56 years ago

Loving v. Virginia (interracial marriages allowed) - 53 years ago

Last official lynching by KKK - 39 years ago

This isn’t ancient history. My parents were born when the Civil Rights Act was established. What is happening now is OUR history and if you’re sitting on the sidelines and thinking “well I’m not racist!”, your silence is complacency. It’s time you stand up and do something.

The world is full of fucked up people who will take from those who already have nothing, or will even take away your life for being yourself. I will not tolerate your blind hatred. We are supposed to love and care for each other. We were never meant to be hurt or killed by our own kind, but we do it anyway, for no reason. No intent.

I love you for being a good person.

IMPORTANT READ!!! (ESPECIALLY FOR WHITE PEOPLE!)

Hello guys, so, you are many to follow me for years, and you all know how vocal I have always been about racism, and the place of black people in fiction and society. However I didn’t quite shared my thoughts about what’s happening in USA rn here in tumblr, but I definitely did on twitter and instagram, now it’s your turn to read.

In the light of recent events, riots happening in many cities around the US and of course, the unspeakable actions of many policemen, I need to talk about what also happens in France.

We are in 2016, and a young man named Adama Traoré, was allegedly murdred by three policemen in the same fashion of George FLoyd. Like George, his last words were “ I CAN’T BREATHE.”

Since then, his sister Assa Traore, demands justice for her brother and an actual mediatic war happens between the Traoré family and the police representatives. Many reports contradict each other like what we can observe with the reports issued by the police concerning George Floyd. These two cases are very very similar, but unfortunately for Adama, we didn’t have a camera that could show the actions of these policemen. HOwever, many witnesses came to deliver what they saw showing that the police went above their duties, but Adama Traore never got justice.

What’s happening in the Usa, then, reasonates particularly here in France. You have to know, that black and Arab people are unfairly racially profiled since they are teenagers in the blocks and even beyond. I have the story of my own little brother who is racially profiled everytime he goes in the city. Many cases of police violence happened during the quarantine, and this cameras recorded unspeakble actions. We saw a young man being tackled, took in a van where he was lynched. We saw another getting tackled, taken somewhere where he couldn’t be directly seen and we heard his screams. Lately, a 14-years-old teenager was attacked when he was in custody.. He may loose his right eye.

Police violence is a very serious issue against people of color, here in France, especially Blakc and Arab people. I am telling you that France that arrogantly sees itself the land of justice and human rights doesn’t respect them.

Today a protest will be very repressed since because of Covid 19, protests are forbidden. People will ge hurt because of Paris chief of police who is… very dangerous. 

I am telling you, France is watching the US, and I really would like that black people in the US know, that the entire diaspora in many countries in the West knows. Please support us as much as we support you. No justice, no peace everywhere.

Take care,

remember to share information about the struggle and the movement.

remember this is not a time to be silent. dont equate this day with silence. keep sharing and speaking.

really take time to educate yourself on everything happening and the struggle black people go thru on a daily.

SHARE INFORMATION. DONATE. SIGN PETITIONS. a pixel is not enough. we are people not pixels.

remember you should be supporting black lives everyday and standing up for racism everyday. this is not a token day of activism.

check in with ur black friends and family. we see ppl saying they support us and thats great but it definitely gives a sense when ppl reach out to show they care.

if ur white ppl use ur privilege. highlight the struggles and speak up and stand up for them.

so yeah. this is not a token day. remember that this struggle is ongoing.

These companies see you purely as a number to profit off of. Event with Blizzard as a pure example.

WE ARE IN DANGER. STOP BEING SILENT FOR TODAY. SPREAD THE NEWS, TELL YOUR FRIENDS, DONT TRUST EVERYTHING THE MEDIA TELLS YOU, STAY INSIDE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY;

STAY SAFE.

14-year-old Joāo Pedro was killed by the Rio de Janeiro police. Joāo was shot at his home and his body was taken by the Rio de Janeiro police. His family waited 17 hours until receiving news of his whereabouts. They finally found his dead body at a medical examiner’s office. The family counted 72 bullet marks on the walls of the house.

George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer.

George was handcuffed and restrained and being completely cooperative when this all went down. The officer put his knee on George’s neck choking him for minutes on minutes while George screamed that he could not breathe. 

Bystanders beg for the police officer to take his knee off George’s neck, but the officer didn’t listen and continued to choke him. 

Petition for the punishment of Minneapolis police officers after the assassination of George Floyd.

Julius Jones has only 122 days before being executed for a crime he DIDN’T COMMIT. Julius has lived on death row for almost 20 years, and is held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. He is allowed one hour of sunlight a day, and three showers a week. Every minute we wait to take action, Julius is suffering. Every second that goes by brings Julius closer to being executed for a crime he didn’t commit.

Tony McDade was a transgender black man who got killed by police in Tallahassee. No one is talking about it.

A 12-year-old girl has drowned in the River Irwell in Greater Manchester.

Greater Manchester Police said it was treating what happened as a “tragic incident” and did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances.

Ahmaud Arbery was chased and gunned down by Travis McMichael, son of retired Brunswick investigator Greg McMichael, under the father’s and son’s pretenses of witnessing a burglary in Satilla Shores of Glynn County.

Jennifer Jeffley was 15 years old when she was arrested for the murder of Maria Palomina. A murder that she did not commit. Innocent of the crime that she was convicted of, Jennifer has been behind bars more than 20 years serving a life sentence.

Regis Korchinski-Paquet was murdered by Toronto Police. A call was made for a domestic incident and Toronto police officers were present on the 24th floor in a High Park apartment building to “observe” 29-year old, Regis. Shortly after, she allegedly fell off the balcony.

Sean was a victim of police brutality. He was running from the police and was on Facebook live. The police officer tased him while he was going down and then shot the man 14 times in the back.

On October 4th 2016 Amiya was stepping off of  her school bus and was hit and killed by a car.

11 months later my family and I met with the District Attorney John Weddle and Sadie Gardener. Neither of them took the case seriously and it showed because shortly after that my family was informed that Karen Carpenter would not be charged.

On June 7th, 2019, Emerald Black a pregnant, black woman, and her fiance were pulled over by police officers after coming from a doctors appointment.

The officers spoke to Ms. Black’s fiance while she stayed in the car.

The officers began to order her out of the car. Ms. Black was clearly pregnant and she had let them know  that she had just gotten back from a doctors appointment where she was also  informed that she was at a high risk for a miscarriage. Despite this, the officers yanked Ms. Black, still in her hospital clothes, and threw her to the ground. They taunted her, piled on top of her, and stomped on her stomach causing her to miscarry. The stomp had  also left a shoe mark.

Chrystul Kizer is an incarcerated trafficking survivor who is being charged with life in prison for acting in self-defense against her trafficker.

The punishment that Chrystul is facing for defending her own life signals that black women and girls have no selves to defend.

Tamir was only 12-years-old when he was shot and killed last year by a Cleveland police officer as he played in a park with a toy gun. Timothy Loehmann, an officer in training, shot and killed Tamir within two seconds of arriving at the park. The police car hadn’t even fully stopped before he began shooting.

Siyanda was racially abused and beaten by a group of people. After defending herself - instead of being protected by the justice system - she was sentenced to 4 ½ years of prision.

One month ago, a division of the Louisville Police Department. performed an illegal, unannounced drug raid on Breonna’s home. Not a single officer announced themselves before ramming down her door and firing 22 shots, shooting Breonna 8 times, killing her.

Alejandro is a innocent 15 year old, African American who got shot 7 times while walking to Boone High School, in December of 2018. NO ARREST HAVE BEEN MADE!!!

“Denver. This young brother is driving his pregnant wife and police are firing tear gas at them. He gets out, in sheer frustration, to tell them how wrong they are, and they unload more tear gas pellets on them.”

I made some awareness photos for those of us who want to use our platforms to support the BLM movement.
