Thank you.

This is just now being added to school curriculums after 99 years. That’s why most people don’t know there’s a problem with our society bc they’ve literally never been taught about the problem.

This is a story from 1921. 99 years ago, almost to the exact day, 100-300 innocent black lives were taken from this world forever. With little to no warning about the attack. They had no way to escape. They were hunted through the streets and gunned down like animals. 10,000 men, women and children were left homeless. Then to add insult to injuries, the whites made sure to make it legally impossible for the Black community rebuild their homes there.

They deserved to be remembered. Their story needs to be spread across the world. Their voices should be heard by everyone. They were not unworthy of human decency just bc of the color of their skin.

Racists really wanna sit and JUSTIFY, CONDONE AND EVEN PARTICIPATE IN THE MURDER OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY. This all “started” bc of a man with an allegedly counterfeit $20 bill who bought a $5 pack of cigarettes. But let’s me honest for a minute. We all know that’s not the real reason. Let’s begin.

The Cop that detained George Floyd knelt on this mans neck for nearly NINE (9) MINUTES! With that amount of force to a persons Jugular or Carotid Artery for that amount of time anyone with a normal functioning heart will lose consciousness. If they are as unlucky as George Floyd they could even lose their life. Regardless if they had a pre-existing condition. The NYPD has used neck restraint for some years now and of 200 cases logged in 2019, 44 of the victims of this police brutality lost consciousness. And that’s probably not the exact numbers bc COPS ARE OFTEN CAUGHT LYING TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES! I’ve seen it so much. Even before all this started.

When you hear us say “BLM” you aren’t hearing us say “Black Lives Are More Important Than Everyone Else”. Of course that isn’t the case. And how some people hear that is BEYOND me. What we are saying is that Black People have been systematically profiled, attacked, imprisoned, enslaved, hung, b*rned al*ve, and straight up m*rdered in cold blood for TOO LONG. It’s time we, as a nation, make the active decision to destroy the R*cists and Fasc*st that have gone crazy with power and wrath against people with Melanin in their skin. MY SKIN DOES NOT DEFINE ME. BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR SWEET ASS IM PROUD OF MY BROWN SKIN. I might be “Mixed” but I am still very much black and no one can erase that from me. I grew up around a family that was taught from a young age that black is bad. I grew up hating the black part of my life bc I was told that black people were criminals and thugs and druggies. But I grew out of that. I grew to love myself, my skin, and the black community as a whole. That’s why black lives matter. And why, even though my children are only a “1/4 black”, I will raise my babies to be just as proud of the color in their skin as their mommy is of hers.

Also, ACAB BC THEIR CAREER IS A CHOICE, THEIR VIOLENCE IS A CHOICE, AND THEY HIDE TRUTHS TO COVER UP THEIR INJUSTICES EVERY DAY (which is also a choice). They lie for their own kind. So even the ones that you see joining the Protests are BASTARDS. THEM JOINING THE PROTEST IS LIKE AN ABUSIVE PARTNER BUYING YOU FLOWERS AFTER THEY PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE FOR BREATHING.

This is not Black People vs White People. This is not reverse racism. That’s not a real thing but don’t get me started on that rn. Hell, this isnt about the President anymore at this point, though he is a contributing factor.

This is AMERICA VERSES THE FASCISTS AND HONESTLY IM BEYOND READY TO PUNCH SOME FUCKING NAZIS

Also, last thing, I promise. Can we as a nation come to the realization that FOX NEWS is not a reliable source for honest news?
