Their Black Lives Matter Merchandise Is Insulting And They Should Not Sell It
For years the racial injustice that African Americans have faced has been swept under the rug to be invalidated or ignored. We have been treated like nothing and then slammed for requiring common decency. As time passes and I see the world for what it is I also start seeing that everything that is given to us blacks has been solely to appease us in that time being. There are people who would say black lives matter only to also apply all lives matter in the same breath.
People who would agree that we’ve been done wrong only to turn and complain when a black earns a certain position in society that is better than theirs. The superiority, arrogance, and ignorance surrounding us is suffocating and WE CANT BREATHE!!
When Will The Change Begin?
There is a Martin Luther King Jr, street in almost every city. That changed nothing, There is a whole day honored for him. Still nothing. Why? Because their intentions were to appease us enough to stop the boycotting, marching, and riots happening at the time. The same way they tried appeasing us then is how they are appeasing us now its just instead of A Martin…
