Whether you’ve contributed a single post or whether you’ve marched by my side, you are crucial to this movement; you are crucial to the roar of justice; you are crucial to MY safety and MY future as a black man in America.
It breaks my heart that you could for years call me a friend, a best friend, or even a brother but then forsake me and EVERY black person you have EVER come across, by watching this all go by.
By failing to check up on or support your black friends in this startling time, you are proving yourselves unreliable.
To those of you who have chosen to condemn the riots on your stories before you have condemned the injustice in the murder of George Floyd and the injustice in repeated police brutality on black lives, you are insidious.
The economy can recover, George Floyd and every other black life taken at the hand of racist cops can’t.
