When the protestors fuck up and nearly kill three black women, along with burning three buildings owned by black people. Can't say it's blm when you're actively ruining the lives of POC who had to work harder and longer to even HAVE a place like that because those positions are much easier for white people to get. Like? Burn the police cars. Go after the police. Fucking hurt them if you want, it's not like they're going to hesitate to hurt you. However, stop ruining buisness. You're putting essential workers, most of which who live paycheck to paycheck, out of work in a time it is hard to get a job. You are hurting black people too, because believe it or not, although it is less common, one of the requirements to own a buisness isn't being white. So? Riot, cause chaos, make your voice heard, but please keep in mind when you attack and burn places that a black person could end up homeless because of you. If I'm wrong saying this as a white person, please let me know. I'll take it down.

Shut the fuck up is the first thought after i hear NF..

"NFTs are IMAGES you can BUY and OWN with MONEY that you--" shut up. shut the fuck up. we already HAVE DeviantArt adoptables what the fuck are you on about? what are you reinventing? adoptables that ALSO fuck up the planet? shut up. I'm including a link to a deviantart profile with "plz" in its name whose icon is a specific gif of an anime girl shaking her head in disgust at you.

Should I bleed my words for you ; the privilieged , so you can listen to me Yes listen and feel my words I dont want you to hear my voice I want your heart to tear I want you to cry your eyes out I want you to feel for them I want you to lose your sleep I want you to feel scared and ashamed of yourself . I want you to feel how opressed our fellow humans are because of things they cant control I want you to realise that their lives are meaningful and it's not something to be taught in the 21st century , it's a shame to do so , it's something their ancestors fought for and thought they overcame but sadly they didn't and a large number of people are still oblivious of their moronity .

Racism is not a disease it's not something out of your control it's not something you are born with , racism is acquired , i don't care "if you grew up in a neighrborhood that had a group of criminals who belong to that race" , THAT'S VERY STUPID TO BASE YOUR FEAR AT , you are ridiculous , stupid and disgusting . your race killed,used and tortured their ancestors yet do you see them killing or looking down at you because of your racial background, there are black police officers who protect you .O how they are willing to serve you even if you do them wrong by attacking their race . Your beliefs of superiority are not innate they can change if you please open up your mind and heart , i shouldn't beg you to be human you are one act like one . he shouldn't die and be treated that way because his body produces more melanine than yours do , do you realise how weird and ridiculous that sounded . Our fellow human beings shouldn't be treated that way our fellow humans shouldn't be scared of who they are our fellow humans aren't different from us , I could have been born black too and i would never be ashamed of it nor regret it for I am a human with a soul , values and morals a living being who exists to be accepted and loved .

I as a white person swears on my life that I would never stay silent if a person is racially attacked in front of me , i will protest , be it by my voice or force . YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM YOU WILL LIVE NEXT TO THEM YOU WILL SHARE YOUR RIGHTS WITH THEM .

Thanks to all black people who made change in our world .

Thanks to all black people who invented or contributed in inventions that serves us all .

Thanks to all black artists who blessed us with their art .

there are many things to mention and give credits for but this is long enough .

Indigenous Minnesotans at the Capitol building in St. Paul, 05/31/2020

This is the side of the protests the news doesn't show. The part where the community comes together and protests peacefully. You can't see in the video, but there are people going around constantly giving out water and snacks to everyone. My fellow medics and I were passing out face masks and offering medical care to those who need it. There have been people cleaning the streets with brooms and garbage bags since day one.

Rest in power George Floyd. You were and are abundantly loved.
