When a person is devalued and treated differently for possessing a different skin color and ethnic origin, we must question why? After I watched the video of George Floyd my blood boiled. I saw it first on Facebook Watch where it was originally shared before making its way to the YouTube platform. Needless to say, I was utterly disgusted and deeply appalled by what I witnessed.
As a huge supporter of police, I was so shocked to see such corruption right in front of my face. So I decided to write the fifth episode for the Even Salt Looks Like Sugar podcast about it. Hosted by Billy Housh, I discovered so many cases in the 20th and 21st century that really bothered me. Featuring clips of Malcolm X (who is one of the most brilliant minds of all time), this podcast was put together incredibly. Some of deaths mentioned in this podcast will shock you, but remember there is always a consequence to every action and sooner or later karma collects real debts.
I have to admit, I am not a fan of looting nor am I a fan of rioting, but I am a fan of protesting. Protesting peacefully. I believe no human right should be subverted or undermined. I believe the time is now to use your voice to and for a higher purpose.
"Be the force behind your message, be the face behind your voice, and be the voice for the voiceless." Sarah Afshar
