So, many of you have probably seen the #BlackLivesMatter and ACAB (All Cops Are Bad) and stuff about George Floyd and protests and riots.
If you havent, congratulations, you're probably VERY sheltered.
If you have, this is kind of about that.

Actually, this is exactly about that, but not the protests or riots turned bad. This is a thread called SAY THEIR NAMES which is the names and pictures of black people who have been victims to these kind of things.

I've seen many posts about all of this shit, but to me, the ones that were most moving and what made me feel for them the most, is this thread. Realizing and coming to reality to the fact that these are REAL PEOPLE with REAL LIVES and REAL FAMILIES. Most of which were killed FOR ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING REASON BY COPS.

Of course, Wattpad only allows you to post 20 pictures at a time, so this will be multiple chapter over the span of multiple days.

Do you have to read through these? No, of course not. If it makes you uncomfortable or you've already seen this or you just dont care, go ahead skip right by these chapters. Nobody is going to call you out for it.
Would it be nice and appreciated if you read through these or at least skimmed through them? Yes.

WARNING. This will be the official warning for all of the posts, plus I will put warnings about each picture for what it has in it, I should hope you would know what to expect but in case not, here you go:
Murder,
Guns + shooting,
Leaving behind children,
Beatings,
Mentions of blood,
Child murder (aka anyone killed under 18)
Ect.

If you feel as though I missed anything, tell me.

NONE OF THESE PICTURES WILL SHOW ANY BLOOD OR BRUISES OR ANYTHING BAD LIKE THAT SO IF YOU ARE FAINT TO BLOOD OR THAT STUFF MAKES YOU SICK DO NOT WORRY!

That is as many as Wattpad will currently allow me to put. This will potentially be a three parter.
I am sorry for such a sad chapter but I hope this helped spread awareness of the past victims that were killed and harmed before this all blew up.

This isn't just a recent thing. We have been dealing with this for fucking years and it's 2020. I dont know what more we need to do to get it through people's heads that THIS IS NOT ALRIGHT.
I, as a young seemingly white non binary person, though I am LBGTQ+ and very open about it, I am very privileged.
I have never been bullied or beat for my skin colour. I have never been called a slur or a assumed criminal based off of my skin (except maybe Cracker but I just find that funny that black people call white people that-).

So I will not understand the struggle of that. But I know for a goddamn fact that I will stand beside my people because the FUCK does it matter what skin colour you are??

I am sorry for going on a rant there as it's probably the same old thing you've heard from everyone else but I am just so fed up with this.

I hope you have an okay day/night/afternoon my Trashlings~
