-NOT AN UPDATE-
I felt it important to do a little PSA on everything that has been happening lately.
As I'm sure you all know, George Floyd (a 46 year old black man) was MURDERED on 25th May by Derek Chauvin, a man who was meant to work to protect the people but instead decided he was a racist murderer. He was only charged with 3rd degree murder, when it should have been considered as 1st degree. Derek HEARD George say he couldn't breathe many times, yet he still pressed his knee down on his neck. This was all while three other present police officers did absolutely NOTHING to help: Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao.
Derek Chauvin has done things like this in the past, so shouldn't have even had the CHANCE to kill George Floyd. He should have lost his job way before this happened.
Can I just say I am SO proud of how everyone is responding: especially millennials and generation Z. When all of us are adults and the problematic boomers and generation X are gone, the world should hopefully be a better place.
As I am a resident of the UK, I cannot phone/text the numbers that can assist in getting the guilty police officers what they deserve. I am also underage, meaning I cannot donate to various charities set up to aid this mission. Plus, I live in the countryside and can't attend the protests happening in cities. All I can do is help by spreading awareness to the cause. I regularly post on my Instagram about this matter, although I prefer to keep my social media separate.
If you have Instagram, participate in #BlackOutTuesday by posting a photo of a black screen and adding that hashtag. It's a form of peaceful virtual protest. Also, from the 4th to 7th July participate in an economic blackout by not purchasing anything. Our voices will he heard.
Here you can find petitions set up to help both George Floyd and promote the #BlackLivesMatter cause. https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
We shouldn't have to be fighting for equal human rights. This shouldn't have to happen. The news is only showing the violent riots that are a cause of police showing up and becoming violent. They are PEACEFUL protests until the police arrive.
All lives don't matter until black lives matter.
Stay safe and happy pride month.
