---- Just tap the grey rectangle, or hit space to see what I have to say about this! ---- Don't say BLM if you don't know why you're saying it. Yes it means Black Lives Matter, but there's a lot more to it than that. Instead of just saying BLM, I encourage you to say more than that. Tell people why police brutality is such a big deal, and how it effects people who are Black more than those who are white. Instead of spamming BLM in studios, try asking your parents to donate money, or go support a Black owned business. There's a lot you can do to help, but in my opinion, the most important thing to do is educate yourself. A lot of people just don't understand and instead of judging them, we can take the knowledge we have and inform them. ---- The original draft of this project was a lot longer and a lot less... happy? It was more of a vent, it felt good to get it out though! I scrapped the first draft because I wanted to try to say this in a more positive way. Maybe I'll post the vent someday, but for now I'll keep it to this :D ---- Here's some resources to check out! :D Risk of being killed by police in the US: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 Places to donate that will help make Black lives matter: https://nymag.com/strategist/article/where-to-donate-for-black-lives-matter.html Are Black workers discriminated against? https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2019/12/05/478150/african-americans-face-systematic-obstacles-getting-good-jobs/ ---- Note: You don't not HAVE to support the BLM organization to believe Black lives matter. I don't expect you to have the same views as me about them, I want you to know what Black people face is real. --- Anyway, Bi Bi for now! I will be making edits to this project cuz it's kinda a mess- XD If you read all of this. thank you for your time! <3
