you know what scares me? what will you do once george floyd’s name fades out of the news cycle? will you go back to your “normal” life or whatever normalcy you’ve created during this pandemic and forget? will you stop listening, learning, speaking up? will you forget about this and disappear only to come back again until another black person succumbs to state sponsored violence? you probably will. so please don’t stop learning. please don’t stop listening to and amplifying the voices of black people. please don’t stop speaking up. dig deep and find the courage to keep this up. insist that you and everyone you know fight for a future where black people can live without fearing for their lives. a future where white supremacy is fundamentally annihilated.
