All lives won't matter until black lives matter.
My
heart goes out to all who are hurting and in grief, who are angry and
full of rage, and those who fear for their loved ones lives. What is
happening against you is terrible. I see you. I stand with you.
In
the past I have naively thought that we are all equal. We're taught to
say it in the Pledge of Allegiance: with liberty and justice for all.
Sadly, that is not the reality of our world. I did not understand the
struggle that BIPOC go through, that the system is built to work against
them.
I am angry that racism is used to brainwash us to believe
everyone has the same privilege and leaves us blind to seeing any
different.
I see now and will do better!
Black Lives Matter!
