Black Lives Matter · 11:20pm Jun 4th, 2020
I don't usually write posts like this, because articulating things is hard, and it's easier for me to respond directly to people, most of the time.
There's too much to say, and I can't possibly cover all of it. So I'm not going to try. A bunch of people have already written better blogs than I could. And all of those people are much bigger names than me anyway, so there doesn't seem much purpose in me writing this - it's not like I'm going to reach anyone new, after all.
But I'm writing it because I don't want to stay silent, and be assumed to not have a voice here. I'm writing it because Black Lives Matter, because the protestors are fighting for justice, and dismissing them as rioters and looters is wrong, because police brutality is a very real problem in America that must be addressed, and because we have a President who would happily be a fascist dictator if we let him do what he wants without a fight.
Please go read those other blogs on the subject. Please make sure you understand what people are fighting for. Please support the protests.
Don't stay silent.
Well put mate
Yes, well-put indeed!
Agreed, though I do say fuck the people rioting and looting, they give the movement a bad name
