is it immoral to not go to a demo because of fear of catching the virus? Serious question

Aint nobody know this nigga so..

I think it's been up for a couple days. I took that picture on my way home from the memorial in my city

y u gotta have that clown in your avy just asking fam

no but if you have the money look to donate a little bit instead

No, if you can find a way to contribute some other way

mostly bc sheck. i’ve been contemplating changing it for a min. i think it’s time

He's symbolic of the movement now, a martyr and a symbol of every black life thats been taken unjustly by the police.

It is a weird concept- livestreaming funerals - but it might have its positive aspects to broadcast it

To remind us that he has passed, this is very real, and he shouldn't have.

Not a very high standard

I've decided to cut some subscriptions out of my online budget to make room for monthly donations to organizations that improve black lives in LA. It's not a huge move on my part, but it's a necessary one. I stress that it needs to be monthly because we can't forget and we can't let anyone else forget.

To all SoCal people, if you want to be a mentor to black and brown kids in the area, check out Peace4Kids. My wife has been going over to Compton for years to work with kids. They read, do music and crafts, ball on the playground, organize community cleanup, etc. They ask a lot of you, but if you're real about it, it's something you can do.

I'm in education, and I could tell you all the horror stories I've heard and experienced over the years of being an IA and student teaching, all the kids sleeping at school, all the times we barely had enough food for the lunches we set out, the crappy playground equipment, etc. Even a small defunding of law enforcement and a redirection to education would make a huge difference for kids.

Everyone needs a purpose. I would recommend anyone watch Hoop Dreams because it shows you what a goal can do for kids and young adults who have basically no opportunities afforded to them by American society. Their lives are brutally hard but they keep it together because they AREN'T thugs. They are people with lives and dreams and they deserve as much of an opportunity as people like me with two f***ing degrees and a teaching credential. It's about damn time that we give them that opportunity.

whole world knows him now

Sheck wes got some allegations but thats for another thread homie

Hard

I did! I try to do as much as possible from over here (Germany).

I also signed multiple petitions, seeing s*** like this always makes me think what would happen if this happens to my half sisters but i‘m also scared of catching the virus because I regularly visit my grandparents who both have lung problems ( They barely go out anymore and need some companionship).

Thats more than enough bro u looking out for your grandparents life, being cautious. and u donated. thank you. Thats more than generous from overseas

(not that we don't need all the push we can get to change these problems but yall know what i mean)

then stay at home you don't need to jeopardize anybody's health, you did what you could do, don't worry about it

We need to defund the military & police and put that money back into areas that are heavily underfunded like schools.

You right. It’s gone now

Thank you, i guess i‘m feeling some kind of guilt for not wanting to go but this also shows me that I truly care. I think it’s different when you see this stuff on the net and when you have someone within your family who could be a target of racism.

Yes I know, there’s not much media coverage on this over here mainly because we are still dealing with the pandemic. I informed people through my social media on this situation so it gets more coverage.

This is definitely one of the next steps,

Mandatory changes to budgets where an egregious amount of money goes to police who have had such a negative effect on these communities--redistribute that back into the communities

funeral got me crying

fam what if

Wow they going after the good guya
