“If you have no interest in equal rights for black people then don’t make suggestions to those who do, sit down.”
One of the great things about the United States is that people have freedom of speech. At the same time, it is important to remember that freedom of speech is not without cost. So while those who are uninterested in equal rights in America have a right to talk about it all they want, they should shut up. Those who don’t care about equal rights for blacks don’t need to tell those who do what to do or how to act. Instead, they should go sit down and leave the discussion for those who have an interest, those who care.
“Just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real.”
The world is full of people who love black culture – the food, the music, the fashion. There is nothing wrong with that. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind the fact that black culture is a real thing, it is not a costume or a toy to be pulled out, played with and disrespected at will. Black people are magic and we are real. We are human beings. We are people and our humanity and worth cannot be denied.

So many terrible events have occurred these days, that honestly I’ve been trying to stay away from the news. I’ve read bits and pieces on Facebook, but i need to educate myself more on this topic.
I hadn’t heard about the rise in hate crimes since the decision. That’s horrible 🙁 Thank you for sharing and informing everyone about it.
It’s not fun when you see things like these online. I really hope things get worked out to at least an okay solution.
I love everything you have to say about this issue. I feel like a made small feat 8 years ago when I made the decision to date a black guy, even after being “warned” by my parents to never bring a black person (or any other race than mine) home. Well, that was 8 years ago and today my parents absolutely love my boyfriend, and the two children we have together. If I can change just their minds, I know they will pass it on when they see any type of injustice or racism. It takes changing one mind at a time, but I have hope that those of us who stand up can and will make a difference. We just can’t sit back and be afraid to speak up.
Wow, I really keep the news off these days because of all the hate. I got to the point where I was burnt out from all the evil.
It was an extremely controversial decision, and the unrest is a bit scary. I hope things work themselves out ok.
Wow- what a unique perspective on this situation with so many layers. I need to read more and really educate myself on these important issues.
That’s awful! I know it is a time full of uncertainty and tension, but that means it’s an opportunity also. I hope that Britain uses this time to focus on the future.
I can’t say I know a lot about this. I need to learn more, but if what you say is true about racism then they need to rethink what they have done and really make sure that it is the right thing for the UK to do!
