What’s happening in this country breaks my heart. It’s
beyond sad and frustrating. After all
these years we’re still having the same inequality/racial issues that this
country was experiencing back in the 60’s and way before then. We still have
young people marching the streets chanting “No Justice, no Peace”.
The BLM movement makes me proud to see people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds banding together for equality. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Love is right, hate is wrong. Murder is wrong.
No individual has the right to condemn anyone of any color
to death because of their past, present or future. I don’t care that Alton
Sterling was a convicted felon (who did his time). I care that he was a human
being who didn’t have to die in such a horrendous manner. I do not care that
Philando was black. I care that no man should be shot in cold blood in front of
his young child. I care that he was someone’s human being. I don’t care about
the color of Dylan Noble’s skin; I care that he was someone’s son. I do not
care that the five officers that were murdered were cops. I care that they were
HUMANS whose lives were ended too soon by a hateful individual. They were all
people with family and friends and coworkers. It only takes one sick mind to
set back the collective goal.
I believe that the way society teaches us to see the black
man as violent, ignorant, uneducated, lazy, irate, non human being is truly
deceptive and heartbreaking. Yes, there are some men that are violent, ignorant,
uneducated, lazy, irate and ______. Fill in the blank with whatever race you please,
because any of them could fill in that blank.
It hurts when I see the comments of people who do not
understand or choose not to see that the core of the movement is so valid and
so real. BLM seeks equality, equality to a fair, unbiased trial and the equality
of justice no matter what you look like or who you are. For too long now these stereotypes
that we’ve perpetuated towards minorities have penetrated our legal systems,
impeding the entire process. It’s not okay.
It hurts when I see some of these cowardly comments and
posts. Wishing harm onto others that you THINK are wishing harm onto you does
nothing but hurt both causes. We want peace, love, and most of all equality. Let’s
try to understand, lets try to love one another. We, as the HUMAN RACE have to
do better for one another.
The same red colored liquid runs through all of our bodies. We
all matter, speak up for those who go unheard. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
