19. What I find amazing

Is how so many people, of all colors but mostly white, don't realize that this effects all of us. Every single one. Not caring, not addressing, putting these issues that directly effect people of color but mostly black people, diminishes each of us.

And anyone that doesn't realize that if this horror doesn't stop soon, this will just be the beginning and anyone not part of the oligarchy is next.

It's similar to the war on women in the control part. Anyone that thinks controlling women will be where they stop is living in a fantasy world.

It doesn't matter how the message was initially given. It doesn't matter how it was initially received. It doesn't matter who the message was given to. What matters is that the message is out there. That it is in the spotlight. That we continue to fight for the end of the genocide if black people.
