Enough is Enough! We need to come together now more than ever, we are cracking the surface, and it shouldn’t stop here. I honestly can’t believe it took this long for people to understand what is going on within the black community finally. We are only LOVED when it’s convenient. Black lives have been taken away from us for years with no JUSTICE. The police are allowed to kill us without repercussions, which is unfair. We are sick in tired of being sick and tired.

As a black woman in America, I fear for the lives of all black men and women. George Floyd could have been one of my family members. Another senseless death. He should still be here for his daughter and family. In the black community, it is hard enough to have our fathers in our lives. Now this beautiful little girl has to live without her Father. For all other races, how would you feel if one of your family members’ lives were taken for no damn reason? Wouldn’t it feel good, right? Wouldn’t you want Justice?

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Most Americans have the privilege of just living carefree without fearing for their lives or family lives. We want to live the same way and be treated with respect. THAT IS ALL WE WANT. I don’t think violence is the answer, but we are angry, tired, exhausted, hurt, drained, and so on. All lives don’t matter until BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Do your part and help us fight for justice in America! We want to live in this country with peace of mind. Stop killing us! Let’s break these generational curses and LOVE one another. Racism was created to divide us, and it’s up to us to close the gap. Please check out the resource below on how you could help the movement. #blacklivesmatter
