Quarantine 2020 - Tumblr Posts
Now THAT’S how you start and end a video 🤣🤣🤣
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.
