Here's the thing — I've been thinking about this stuff a lot lately. Black people getting killed by police, black kids in school being told they're inferior, black men sitting in prison for crimes white guys get walked free for. And what do we do? Nothing. Because saying something gets you cancelled.
But here's the real kicker — corporations and media outlets are making BANK off this tragedy while pretending to be on our side. ESPN broadcasting police brutality as entertainment. Marvel movies featuring black actors playing white characters. Disney+ promoting "Black Panther" right after a black kid was shot by a cop.
And when someone actually speaks up about it? They get the silence treatment. The gatekeeping. The "both sides" argument that only benefits the status quo.
We're at a point where being pro-black lives is more dangerous than dying from them in some places. And nobody's doing anything about it except making YouTube videos about it like me.
