A Beautiful Post by my daughter about BLM
For anyone who disagrees with the BLM movement and the protesting,
please educate yourselves and don’t rely on mainstream media as a source
of information. Floyd was not a criminal. Yes, the cops involved in his
murder were arrested. But how many cops who have killed innocent Black
people NOT been fired or arrested? How many have been fired but STILL
given pay? THAT is what we are fighting. The SYSTEM is broken and
flawed. This isn’t good vs bad cops. BLM vs racism. This is RIGHT vs
WRONG. The movement is making an effort to EXPOSE this flawed system so
that the future is better FOR EVERYONE, but ESPECIALLY Black people, as
they are consistently targeted, hunted, and murdered by police officers.
Do some research PLEASE. This movement has already sparked change! And
progress! Any lives lost ARE HORRIBLE and WRONG, regardless of whether
the person was a protester or a cop. The fact remains however that the
police are out in military gear attacking, beating, and killing
protesters while the protesters are peacefully exercising their rights
without any gear whatsoever. If you have an opinion, you’re free to that
opinion. But this isn’t opinions. This is right and wrong. Life and
death. At least educate yourselves. Standing in solidarity is the LEAST
we can do as privileged people who have never had to face ANYTHING
remotely similar to what Black people have to live with daily.
