if you see racism in front of you, PLEASE SPEAK UP! whether it’s at home, at school, over social media, in public, please say something. your silence is just as dangerous. if you have the power to stop someone from saying something horrible to another beautiful human being,
please say something. hate is such a persuasive thing, it can make someone hate themselves just because of how they look. Please, say something. don’t be silent. nothing will change by being silent. Black lives matter

And ik I probably sound like I’m going on a rant or something but I’ll keep saying what I need to.
again, I will say this on here also: I don’t hate all cops, I hate the ones that think killing a man for his skin color and using “I thought he was armed” for an excuse is enough to Validate his hate and the fact he took a harmless life out of this world
and recently I was added into a gc with 4 other boys who thought it was appropriate to add me after I had blocked him. Why? Because I had slid up on his story where he mentioned trump, and I had politely asked him why he thought this. and he decided to get..
upset with me, and I realized there was no point in arguing w him because he was uneducated and obviously arrogant to see my genuine curiosity. Therefore he added me to this gc with his friends where he and the boys proceeded to call me racial slurs.
the point of this thread is: racism is still very prominent in society today. however, it’s not becoming more openly blatant due to social media. People think that they can hide behind a screen and say whatever they want and get away with it.
things are being recorded today. all in all what I’m saying is, if you see an act of hatred towards a beautiful human being PLEASE SAY SOMETHING. change starts with you.
