I agree, the police system is f*cked up and we need to do something, of course, I do not know how it is to be black in America, it must be tough and it is brave those for standing up to racism Any/All Pronouns, Genderfluid🏳⚧ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you’re saying about this setting is back is not true. Does nobody on this site remember or know what stonewall was? It was a VOLENT landmark queer demonstration/protest that historians credit with launching and advancing gay rights in America. I hope for the rest of your life, you will remember the painful imagery we’re seeing across the country, and I hope you know that that feeling is what people of color feel every single day. Lastly, yes, it IS on all of us white people. We may not all be actively racist, but we enjoy and reap the benefits of a racist system as Americans everyday. Unless you actively rise up to change that, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. It’s 2020, I expect you to be anti-racist, not just “not racist”. Because that is what being an ally means. No I agree I just don't think the murder and burning down of buildings achieve anything. And I admit I was apart of the problem. I didn't think the world was overly racist anymore until all of this came out. For the actions i have played I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart. And to prove this I am willing to donate one thousand dollars to a charity supporting black people. Do you know of any? With Peace and love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of any? very very glad to hear that you are willing to take these steps to rebuild a better world we can return to once this has passed. there are a ton of resources out there, so I recommend finding one that speaks to you.
