Apparently our society’s answer to “being the change you want to see” involving racism is to become even more racist…and for all of us to allow it. Especially amongst our social media platform’s…and other “media outlets” of course.

Anyone who doesn’t speak out against this type of shit is just as guilty as the ones producing it in my opinion. We have to be better than this. Surely we’ve gotta be smarter than this?

It’s well beyond time to stop being afraid of what others may think of us, especially as adults, and stand up for what we know to be right and true. If we don’t…obviously no one else will. I hope that every one of my black friends will take a stand against this blatant racism as well, and begin the push back that’s absolutely necessary to end this devision/segregation that our “leaders” are so adamantly pushing for. For whatever reason(s).

And if you’re wondering…if this said anything on the flip-side in regards to strictly supporting only “whites”…I’d say the exact same fucking thing. But you don’t see that type of shit anywhere do you? Most people won’t say anything about this either. If you’re black, you’re either afraid of what your same colored skin friends or family will think or say to you…or you secretly are supportive of this.
—
If you’re white, then you’re immediately racist for even thinking about saying something about racism…see what’s already taken place within our walls? Can you imagine the uproar if this was reversed? I certainly can… AND RIGHTFULLY FUCKING SO!!

Be the change you want to see in this world.
