Think Before You Act - Tumblr Posts
I’m not normally one for commenting on politics in my feeds, but I found this beauty on YouTube just now from EyeWitness News ABC7NY, and I think it needs to be shared. This woman has the right of things, and I love how she tells off the rest of the violent protesters for setting a bad example and making life harder for her and others who are trying to make a difference in their lives and others across the nation. And especially for those who are struggling in these hard times. We need more people like this woman. Can’t say I enjoy the cursing that was edited out, but she has solid and very important points. And I salute her for her bravery. I’m still of the opinion that all lives matter, including public servants like firefighters, nurses, doctors, EMTs, and yes, even police officers (One of my greatest family friends and examples for me growing up was a cop who served in the SVU, and he served with honor), but I will agree that it’s a clear statistical fact that many good black people are wrongfully profiled and targeted, and it’s time for some reform among those precincts that have such bad cops. I hope everyone stays safe, and I pray that change will come without people having to endure more abuse and violence.
All this looting, burning, and destruction of property is having a bad impact on people who are already struggling enough as it is. Stay safe, everyone. May our prayers and voices be heard and answered.
i’m gonna go on a rant for a sec.
it is truly terrifying how uneducated a lot of teenagers are now. hurtful words that spew out of their mouth endlessly and they think it’s funny. words such as “retarted” or “n*****”. and it’s “only meant as a joke”. i’m here to say that these words, are not a joke. people used to be seen as these things. i’m calling out to anyone who uses these words regularly, and thinks it makes them funny or cool. it doesn’t. it makes you look like an ass. it makes you look like a fool and it makes you childish. i’m not here to call people names, before people start calling me out. i’m just sick of listening to a group of girls call another girl a slut when she a. didn’t even interact with them in any way and b. is a virgin. the definition of slut is a woman with many sexual partners. so how exactly is she a slut, if she is a virgin? this is ridiculous.
sorry if i offended anyone in any way. i just really needed to get that out of my head. if i offended you, there is no need to say anything to me about it. just block me and move on. if you feel you must say something, please dm me and we can discuss it. this post was not meant to offend anyone. it was simply to get my point across that students in middle school- high school shouldn’t be using the words “n*****” and “retarded” and “slut”..etc. especially not directed at each other, when they don’t even know the true meaning of the words.
