moments in the hourglass

Only 57.5% of eligible voters actually voted in the last election. And only 42% of eligible 18–34 year-olds. 

Black Lives Matter march yesterday in Atlanta Georgia. 

10,000 strong.

I’m so tired of y’all trying to justify cops who shot #KorrynGaines. I’m tired of y’all not listening.

Korryn Gaines was NOT using her child as a shield.

She was scared to lose him. She was trying to protect him. Because cops don’t care if the victim is 5, 23 or 50 years old just as long as they are Black.

How come a SWAT team in bullet proof vests couldn’t disarm a tiny woman without killing her when they successfully managed to disarm this guy ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

OR THIS GUY ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

OR THESE GUYS  ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

There are plenty more examples and guess what’s one common thing about them?

THE COLOR OF THEIR DAMN SKIN.

Korryn Gaines shouldn’t have been unarmed for you to #SayHerName if you consider yourself pro Black.

You can’t be pro Black if you’re trying to justify the oppressive force!
