Don’t be silent

Just beacuse you’re in a different state, Don’t be silent.
Just because you immigrated here, Don’t be silent.
Just because you support police, Don’t be silent.
Just because you’re religious or a monk, Don’t be silent.
Just because you don’t have any Black friends, Don’t be silent.

Just because your dont want to upset your supper Republicans parents or grandparents and you fear you’ll loose their inheritance and they may hate you for supporting people of colour to live the American dream, Don’t be silent.
Just because you’re protecting your business or friendship, Don’t be silent.
Just because you fear loosing your privilege or status, Don’t be silent.
Just because you’re not Black, Don’t be silent.
Just because youre not racist, it doesn’t mean you should be silent when others who don’t look like you are oppressed and killed each day.
Just because someone wears a uniform and was sworn to protect. It doesn’t mean the man or woman beneath that uniform is a man of honour and justice.

It could be your son, your daughter, your parents, your sibling, your relative, your neighbour, your friend, your workmate who gets taken away from you. Killed like a despised dog on the side of the road that bit a child.
Your silence is louder than cries and screams of a million people who can’t breathe or defend themselves.

What is going on in America will never end if silent or hiding in your prayers is all you do.
If you’re precher, preach to end racism.
If you’re a cop, serve without prejudice.
No matter who you are, racism should never be tolerated in your family, your community, your place of work and in your friendships or wherever you are.

In the Book of 1st Timothy 6:12, it says Fight a good fight of faith. But as a black person, as a modern human who shuns racism, injustices and slavery I say to you, Fight a good fight to end injustices.

Remember, it takes the silence of good people for evil to succeed.

“For once, use your voice, your privilege to do something meaningful. Don’t pretend there’s not a problem in America. Don’t turn your back on racism. Don’t accept innocent lives being taken from us. Don’t make any more excuses. Don’t think this doesn’t affect you. Don’t sit back and be silent. Don’t think you can’t be part of the change. Let’s all be part of the change.”
