y’all saying BLM for one situation just don’t sit right with me, it goes beyond police brutality!!! it’s Black women dying at a higher rate during childbirth. it’s Black people being exposed to COVID-19 at a higher rate. it’s Black people being forced into low income communities. it’s Black people being denied job opportunities due to the name on their applications. it’s Black people being denied into higher institutions despite having the same qualifications as their non-Black counterparts. it’s Black people having their creations and ideas stolen without being given credit simply because a good percentage of society still believes in 2020 that Black people are not creative enough or smart enough or skilled enough. this isn’t just about police brutality. this is deeper than that.
