During these last couple of months, there have been a lot going on. From the Coronavirus to all the Black Lives Matter protests/riots. Honestly, America needs to change and end racism. There is something called white privilege, where white people get special treatment from the police EVEN if your a criminal. It’s wrong but the real problem is some people don’t know that their racist and the ones who say “ I’m not a racist” most likely are. The sad part is that if they actually looked back in their history they would see all the hurt that they have caused for POC. Their scared of US?! We are scared of THEM!! Being black is like being a stereotype but not a good one. Everyone’s talking about Blue Lives Matter ( Cops ) and All Lives Matter and they do but right now we’re talking about BLACK LIVES. Plus if you couldn’t handle being a cop or being in situations you couldn’t handle, why did you become a cop??... it makes no sense. Now for All Lives Matter. I don’t disagree but it is NOT the time to say that. Do you hear on the news about a white man suffocating and dying because a cop kneeled on his neck for 8+ minutes. NO! Do you hear about a white man sleeping in his car at a Wendy’s getting shot in his back and DYING? NO! Has a group of white kids ever been held at gun point for being white and looking suspicious? I DON’T THINK SO. This is all proof that something needs because who knows what more could happen if this goes on.

I can’t breathe!
I CAN’T BREATHE OFFICER
I CAN’T BREATHE
These were the last words of a man name George Floyd
We watched about the last 20 minutes of his life
I CAN’T BREATHE
His last words...
All for NOTHING
this man could’ve lived a long life but it was cut short because of an officer who didn’t
know how to handle the situation
George Floyd was innocent... the “ counterfeit” bill that had him arrested was REAL
He didn’t have a chance
Our world is so messed up to the point that
Being Black or African American is a crime
We are automatically a THREAT to society, criminal, liar..
But for WHAT Why are people taking it out on us?
We suffered from over 400 years of slavery, BRUTAL hard work
We were SOLD like we were a toy that you could CONTROL
and for WHAT?
Racism is still a thing, I get it, but..
WHEN is it going to STOP?
