Yes he did, Gianna! Yes he did!
George Floyd is only the newest name on a list that is FAR.TOO.LONG! We must take a stand. A bigger stand!
Black lives matter, and this isn't a new concept. Black lives have ALWAYS mattered, or better, they should have always mattered more! These men and women are not disposable. They are not props in a game of bu****it. They are humans!
They are fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, friends.
We must all do more.
If my Black neighbours, friends, coworkers, gym mates, acquaintances, clients, or black strangers cannot simply feel safe in this world - than neither can the white ones!
How would you be reacting if the police murdered your brother, your father, your friend? Would you be quiet? I wouldn't!
Understand your (white) privilege - use it for something good!
Silence is not an option! Silence is complicit!
I stand with the protesters!
