I’m sure these images hit different now. Black communities have been warning about this for years. Non-violent people being attacked and murdered by law enforcement. Unjustly.
Trayvon Martin. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Atatiana Jefferson. Ahmaud Arbery. Keith Porter. Silverio Villegas González . Alex Pretti. Renee Good. And so many others. Whether they were holding Skittles, a phone, playing a video game, peacefully protesting for your rights, or just going for a walk in their neighborhood, they were unjustifiably killed while posing no violent threat to law enforcement.
What we’ve been fighting against for decades is now happening across all communities. It’s bigger than us now. When we said reform the system, we were protecting everyone from unchecked power and zero accountability.
Maybe now people will understand why we’ve been demanding change. This fight was never just about Black lives. It was always about justice for all.
We demand accountability. We demand change. For all of us. Rest in power to every life lost.
I need Black people in Baton Rouge and Louisiana to recognize how the Attorney General of this state is using a large portion of her time to target Black leadership.
If you’re Black and you’re pushing the line hard for Black people these leaders use the media and their power to make you believe they are criminals. All while barely reporting on the actions of white leaders stealing piles of money and still serving.
@councilmanclevedunnjr is the target today, but it’s not just him. @tyrintruong is another example of a Black man targeted by these folks. The goal is to discredit and demonize Black people. Scrutinize every thing she says because she has an agenda to diminish the power of Black people in Louisiana and this country.
The AG ignores so much of what white leadership on Louisiana does. Case in point Councilwoman Lori Adams White and her husband.
There are some who believe if Black people are getting anything it means someone gave it to us, we didn’t earn it or deserve it.
The same way they ignore the negative news on the people they elect, we need to recognize the play and stop throwing out our warriors so they can be comfortable with weak Black leaders vs being held to account by strong Black leaders.
DeSoto 2027 RB Sarod Baker (@SaRodBaker12) is the newest DCTX ⭐⭐⭐⭐. 3,000+ yards, 45 TDs & ELITE when it mattered most.
Ezekiel Elliott's influence shows up on tape: vision + patience + pass-catching ability.
