― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Following the horrific murder of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis, protestors worldwide have taken the streets to demand justice. Protestors in UK cities including London, Liverpool, Cardiff and Manchester have been heard chanting, "I can't breathe," the words Mr Floyd was filmed saying as he died while being restrained by a police officer. Black Lives Matter has said: "We are doing this to place pressure on the American government and show that this is a worldwide issue".

"I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You're not scared. You're an asshole." Morgan Freeman.

‘I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.’ – Martin Luther King Jr

You are so busy being YOU that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.

Black lives matter

I have privilege as a white person because I can do all of these things without thinking twice:

I can go birding (#ChristianCooper) I can go jogging (#AmaudArbery) I can relax in the comfort of my own home (#BothemSean and #AtatianaJefferson) I can ask for help after being in a car crash (#JonathanFerrell and #RenishaMcBride) I can have a cellphone (#StephonClark) I can leave a party to get to safety (#JordanEdwards) I can play loud music (#JordanDavis) I can sell CDs (#AltonSterling) I can sleep (#AiyanaJones) I can walk from the corner store (#MikeBrown) I can play cops and robbers (#TamirRice) I can go to church (#Charleston9) I can walk home with Skittles (#TrayvonMartin) I can hold a hair brush while leaving my own bachelor party (#SeanBell) I can party on New Years (#OscarGrant) I can get a normal traffic ticket (#SandraBland) I can lawfully carry a weapon (#PhilandoCastile) I can break down on a public road with car problems (#CoreyJones) I can shop at Walmart (#JohnCrawford) I can have a disabled vehicle (#TerrenceCrutcher) I can read a book in my own car (#KeithScott) I can be a 10yr old walking with our grandfather (#CliffordGlover) I can decorate for a party (#ClaudeReese) I can ask a cop a question (#RandyEvans) I can cash a check in peace (#YvonneSmallwood) I can take out my wallet (#AmadouDiallo) I can run (#WalterScott) I can breathe (#EricGarner) I can live (#FreddieGray) I CAN BE ARRESTED WITHOUT THE FEAR OF BEING MURDERED (#GeorgeFloyd) White privilege is real. Take a minute to consider a black person’s experience today. #BlackLivesMatter

George Floyd

I am sick, angry, sad, and heartbroken. HOW MANY BLACK MEN HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN?! George Floyd cried, begged, and pleaded for his LIFE. The officers who committed this heinous crime deserve to rot in jail.

Your own ghosts

When I was little, whenever I climbed a flight of stairs in the dark, the climbing quickly turned to running. About halfway up the steps, every time, I was overcome with an unshakeable certainty that there was a monster behind me, chasing me. I won’t say I never get that feeling anymore, but I force myself to walk up the stairs slowly and calmly when it happens now, swallowing my fear. That’s called being an adult.
