Intro To Lit Theory

different viewpoints

white people who have signed petitions and donated if you’re able to, the next thing we should do is look inside ourselves. question your way of thinking, the way you were raised, your history books and the movies you watch. ask yourself why they look the way they do and what you’re doing to help it stay that way. you might not see yourself as a racist person, but we’ve grown up with privilege in a racist world. it’s time we pick ourselves and the way we think apart. actively seek out books and articles and documentaries by and about black people and their history. learn and share the resources you find with your white friends and family. make them understand the difference between our fear of feeling uncomfortable or scared and black peoples fear for their lives. it’s not one and the same. one of us can afford looking away and closing our eyes and the other can not. it’s about time we don’t either. it’s not a movie or show we can switch away from, it’s happening right now so wake up. to see change we must change. we must be angry, at the world and at ourselves. 

to everyone in america who are protesting, please stay safe. and to every black person, black people in the lgbtq+ community, black people with disabilities: you matter, your lives matter, your safety matter, your children matter, your future matter. I love you, please stay safe❤️

happy summer to dykes in tank tops and basketball shorts, goths who's makeup is melting, little kids catching frogs and fireflies, guys who just bring their guitar everywhere now, 13 yr olds very obviously in their emo phase during a family vacation, gas station employees, old people sitting on porches, and dogs swimming at the beach
