Black Lives Have Value - Tumblr Posts
Hello, there!
I am here to state that black lives fucking matter and if you think otherwise please leave my page.
Good day to you and your dog!
YALL FUCKING THOUGHT‼️‼️💀😂 FUCKING BOZOS
GOOD JOB KPOP FANS
If you decide to protest but are worried about violence or police:
Bring water and Dawn dish detergent in a bottle. Dawn breaks down oils from pepper spray.
Milk cools the burns, but it does not take away the oil residue.
Don’t wear any oil based products. Tear gas and pepper spray will cling to it.
Cover your tattoos. Cover non-normal hair colors. Nothing identifiable should be seen. Blur them in videos. Protect each other.
Soak several bandanas in water and keep them in water. When they start with the gas put one on a keep replacing them periodically. It will soak up and dilute the gas before it hits your skin.
Swimming goggles can protect your eyes.
Put a passcode on your phone. Take off Face ID and fingerprints. Police can get these from you and search your phone.
No face. No case. Cover up. Blur them out of your videos. Protect each other.
If they bring out fire hoses and you can’t get away without being seen, stay low, roll into a ball and keep your back towards it.
Download an app called Signal. It encrypts messages and allows you to communicate with friends. It deletes everything after some time.
Don’t post on social media. Cops will track location and time stamps.
Remember to disable location services on every app. Most apps run location as a back ground service.
Don’t turn airplane mode on so you can keep communicating.
Write the number of the ACLU or a local lawyer that supports protesting on your skin. No one else’s number should be written down.
Lock your phone when filming and taking pictures.
Erase the metadata from your photos by screenshotting pictures. Never post your originals.
Stay safe
This is Amerikkka
Where you can protest getting a haircut durning a global pandemic, but you cannot protest the murder of a man.
This is Amerikkka
Where “hands up don’t shoot” has been engraved in my brain since I figured out there are people who want me dead based solely on the color of my skin.
This is Amerikkka
Where we can tell other countries not to shoot their protesters, yet a police officer maced a child.
This is Amerikkka
Where we can say “This is not what Dr. King would have wanted because he wanted peaceful protests and not riots,” yet he was still murdered for retesting peacefully. I can say that 52 years after the fact that he probably wouldn’t believe we are still protesting for the same reason.
This is Amerikkka
Where if we riot over our sports team winning or losing, it’s okay. It’s not their fault. It was just too many emotions running wild. But when we riot over a murder, we are thugs, criminals and animals.
This is Amerikkka
Where you can make a professional football player lose his job for kneeling, but you get mad at us for rioting.
This is Amerikkka
Where every year we are told about the Boston tea party and what a turning point it was for American history it was, but you tell us not to destroy public property.
This is Amerikkka
Where nazi symbols can be displayed outside the contexts of teaching, science, or research, but it is banned in Germany, where it originated.
This is Amerikkka
Where the incarcerated cannot vote, yet are counted in the more conservative places where they were arrested instead of their more democratic-leaning home communities. And if they were counted toward their home communities it would be enough to shift the polls in favor of the Democrats.
This is Amerikkka
Where violence is never the answer, but people with power are still killing people.
This is Amerikkka
Where people will tell me that violence never works, but I’m pretty sure slavery didn’t end because they sat in a prayer circle singing spirituals.
This is Amerikkka
Where we expect our people to be peaceful when our police aren’t, our military isn’t, and our president isn’t.
This is Amerikkka
Where the only reason that cop was finally arrested was because we saw the video and not because they saw the video.
This is Amerikkka
Where you can be called a “very good person” by protesting quarantine for your own safety and the safety of others but a “thug” when you protest a murder.
This is Amerikkka
Where some people can wear an Ar-10 rifle on their back to their graduation, yet a small child with a toy gun was murdered.
This is Amerikkka
Where a man can be murdered while out on a jog for “not complying with the request of another civilian”
This is Amerikkka
Where we watched a police officer kneel on another mans neck but we can give a man who fled the police after he murdered 9 people in a church Burger King
This is Amerikkka
Where gun-wielding protests may enter Michigan’s statehouse yet there was no tear gas, mace, or riot cops in sight.
This is Amerikkka
Where I can hear “I don’t support BLM because [insert comment here]” and you still expect me to support you.
This is Amerikkka
Where some people only think that BLM is about rioting. We’ve shown you peace; you’ve started the violence.
To be silent is to be complacent.

I’m not saying that riot cops are like turtles.
I’m just not saying it.
Like I’m not saying they’re like turtles because if you are somehow able to get close enough to them, get your hands underneath their shields by the bottom, force yourself upwards while pushing them back, and have them fall on their backs that the weight of their amor would prevent them from getting up, quickly.
Basically stranding them on their backs.
But like I’m not saying that tho.
Rest In Power, Breonna Taylor.
Black lives have, always, and will always matter. She deserves justice just as much as every other black person who have been murdered by police officers. One of the cops responsible for her death was fired, but all three of them haven’t been arrested.
Rest In Power, Elijah McClain.
Black lives have, always, and will always matter. Let’s hope this young man gets the justice he deserves.
A ha ha ha....I’ll tell ya what, I’m gettin’ pretty sick and tired of the shit that goes on around here!
By here I mean the world. This is NOT OKAY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I wanted to believe that maybe there were some cops out there that were still good, but months, no, YEARS of this sort of shit happening to people--specifically poc, it is totally undeniable that ACAB.
This is NOT what should be happening. Black lives have been under attack for god knows how long, and it doesn’t seem to be stopping. Which is RIDICULOUS. Why should they be treated any differently from anyone else, why should they be discriminated against? What, because they have a different skin color? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? THEY’RE HUMAN DAMMIT, THEY SHOULD DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE HUMANS! Too many of their lives have been lost over such A STUPID REASON LIKE RACISM. People being shot in their own homes. Lynched. Murdered and blamed for things that they didn’t do. If you have a heart, then you know that this needs to change--and thank god it is being fought for.
Black Lives Matter. We should never, EVER forget that.

they don't care. not a single bit.
when we say acab, this is what we mean. did every cop kill this man or any other poc? no. but did all of them fight for this man to bring this situation to justice? did any of them speak out about this situation, or against these cops? at the very least, do they all hold the bad ones accountable? NO. you can't justify a system that was created as slave patrol. and until this system is abolished and one is created to serve ALL PEOPLE of any color, any gender, any disability or handicap, ACAB.

This one person I know is getting on my ass because they think I'm not doing enough for the BLM movement, but the thing is, I'm doing the best I can, they got mad at me because I'm not preaching to my friends, I'm busy informing my siblings and parents why this is important. And the way I am makes it hard for me to fully commit my entire life to the blm movement. The way the world is gets to my head and makes me want to never get out of bed, and I can't deal with that again.
Don't get me wrong, this movement is incredibly important but people have a limit on what they can take in and do in a certain period of time before they break down and can't handle it. Mental health is important for people of all races and everyone needs a break sometimes

These were all murders. They were not accidental. All of these innocent people: men, women AND children. Were murdered because they were black. Not because they were violent. Not because they were threatening, but because they were black. Something has to change. We have to MAKE a change. Black lives matter. Black men. Black women. Black children. Non-Binary blacks. Trans blacks. Every single one of their lives matter. Your friends. Your neighbors. Your teachers. Your brothers. Your sisters. We are the change.

this list isn’t even close to a being a quarter of the wrongful African American deaths in America and if there is anyone you’d like me to add please message me. I will gladly add them because people deserve to know their names.
No crime was EVER committed
People say "Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor" but don't even know who those cops are.
Their names are Brett Hankison, Jonathan Mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove.
ARREST BRETT HANKISON, JONATHAN MATTINGLY, AND MYLES COSGROVE.

To whoever this makes uncomfortable, I'm sorry but this isn't a fight between black vs white; this is good against evil.
This man, Mac Smiff, has put it out there crystal clear:
“We came out here dressed in t-shirts and twirling hula hoops and stuff, and they started gassing us. So we came back with respirators, and they started shooting us. We came back with vests, they started aiming for the head. So we started wearing helmets. And now they call us terrorists. Who is escalating this? It’s not us.”
