Justice For George Floyd - Blog Posts

5 years ago

Participating in the BLM movement comes in various forms, and regardless of what's contributed, we need you.

For those in the front line, risking your lives every single day to ensure that black voices are heard— I stand with you. You are brave, you are change, you are revolution. Be safe, be smart, cover your identifying aspects, research ways to counteract police attacks safely. Use sigils, use protection, BE protection. We see you, we hear you.

For those that cannot be there in the protests, I urge you to be loud. Share verified information, donate to organizations that contribute to the cause, support your local black owned businesses (they need us more than ever), join the July 7th boycott. You are just as important as these protestors.

Witches, these protestors and the like need us. June 5th, on the full moon, there will be a mass casting. Do your part. Spell jars, hexes, jinxes, curses, sigils, candle lighting, whatever you can possibly contribute— I urge you to do it.

No Justice. No Peace.

We fight for the silenced.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

(sorry for my bad English)

For all this stuff that happened in America I found out 2 days ago. And to be honest, I was shocked. I never thought that someone can be so cruel and stand on somebody's neck for 8 minutes.

I am from Europe and I know that if you do something like that there you are going in JAIL. And just because that police officer was white he was just fired.

I knew that America isn't best country to live in (you don't have free health care, racism, sexism) but we are ALL PEOPLE. AND WE DESERVE EQUAL RIGHTS. As people we all have hopes and dresms and nobody deserves torture because of age, skin color or religion.

From Salem witch trials where innocent people were hanged because they are different, more educated that the others to the this inncident America has remained the same.

Happy pride month you beautiful humans!

•♡•♡•♡•♡•❤🧡💛💚💙💜•♡•♡•♡•♡•

Also, I know that normally I wouldn't combine a sad subject matter in what is usually a celebratory post, but I feel like I need to clarify that despite this happy post, I know things aren't all sunshine and rainbows right now, and I don't just want to ignore that things aren't all peaceful and safe. It's important not to ignore it.

I know things aren't that happy or peaceful in some places right now, even for nonviolent protesters, but I hope things will take a turn for the better, and I hope we can find a bit of closure and justice in these coming days, in relation to the recent protests for George floyd's death. Please, and especially if you are out there protesting, try your best to stay safe my dudes! <3

Fuck Minnieapolis, did you learn NOTHING from George Floyd?

The Minneapolis police are back to publicly being terrorists now that George Floyd’s death is out of the media cycle.

The Minneapolis Police Are Back To Publicly Being Terrorists Now That George Floyd’s Death Is Out Of

Directly from the article:

Bayle Adod Gelle was deep in sleep late Wednesday night at his home in Eden Prairie when he heard loud banging on the door.

The intensity of the sound at 2:15 a.m. left Bayle confused. He trudged down the stairs from his second-floor bedroom. As soon as he reached the living room, he found his wife there—surrounded by more than a dozen officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. The officers allegedly pointed their guns at him and his wife, Bayle said, and then tied their hands tightly with a cord.

Awakened by the bangs and commotion, three children—ages 4, 7, and 9— joined their parents in the living room. Officers allegedly pointed guns at them, too, Bayle said.

“I felt very scared,” Bayle said in an interview with Sahan Journal at his home Thursday evening, some 14 hours after the police raid. “I thought they were going to kill us.”

The police search felt like it took forever—maybe two hours, he said. Bayle kept asking the officers who they were and why they’d come to his house. (In the end, the police appear to have found nothing, and took no evidence with them, Bayle said.)

They told him “shut up,” he recalled.

Bayle said the officers ransacked the house and never showed him a search warrant— until the end. That’s when they told him his son had been killed.

Bayle said that until that moment, he had no idea that nearly 8 hours earlier Minneapolis Police officers had fatally shot his 23-year-old son, Dolal Bayle Idd, in an altercation at a Holiday gas station in south Minneapolis. It was the first police killing in Minneapolis since Officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd about a dozen blocks away.

Here’s the full article

they had to move out of their house on new year’s eve to a nearby mosque.

please share, I haven’t seen anyone talking about this

TW; Sensitive topics

Note: Despite the trigger warning above, please please if you find you have the strength to read this, then do. It’s important and not just for the people living in the states. This affects all of us.

Alright so I know i’ve disappeared for a while but I’ve come back to tell you guys something very, very important.

racism/ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/

noun

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

This isn’t just a ‘oh yes racism that’s very bad’ kind of matter anymore. An innocent man was killed, not by accident, not in self-defence, and by the same people who apparently were supposed to be the good guys.

George Floyd was choked to death by a police officer.

He was choked to death by a police officer.

He had to beg to live.

Do you know how horrible that is? We talk about human rights to improve our lives, and this man had to beg for him to keep his own.

What makes it worse is that it didn’t work. He still died.

I don’t know how to tell you guys that we should care about other people.

Afterwards, there were protests. Of course there was. There had to be. Peaceful protests. Raising voices for justice, for a better change, for the right thing.

And do you know how the fucking police responded to these peaceful protests? Peaceful protests asking for better lives?

Do you know how the same people responded to violent, gun-wielding protestors asking for a fucking haircut?

If I told you one was responded with violence, and one was responded with peace, which one do you think would be which?

Would you be surprised to find out which ones really happened?

Would you be angry?

Wouldn’t you be angry? Shouldn’t you be?

These people have been fighting for years and years. They shouldn’t have to fight alone.

They didn’t stop with George Floyd. He wasn’t the first, and already he wasn’t the last.

Please, for the sake of all that is good in this world. Do not let this stand.

There are multiple websites in which you can help support the movement against this hellish system. It doesn’t take too long for you to type a few words in, for you to read more, to find more, to see that this has gone on for far too long.

Dark skin,

Large lips,

Wide noses,

And a powerful history.

These are trademarks of my people,

BLACK people.

We have fought, and struggled, and died for our futures,

And we are still being denied.

On social media, like TikTok,

We are being forced down on the for you pages.

White creators are using our content and getting all the glory.

When you hear the name Charlie D'amelio, what do you think of?

You may think of TikTok, or the renegade.

I think of how she stole the original dance

From a BLACK creator.

And after learning, she’s done NOTHING,

To spread the positivity she receives,

To spread the fame.

If you look her up on Google, you will see American dancer.

She didn’t make those dances up, she stole them.

It was only after many famous people did it without credit,

The world learned it was originally by Jalaiah Harmon.

A young black dancer.

And it’s not just social media.

Recently George Floyd was killed.

By four white police officers.

Want to know what they did,

Minneapolis.

Had the GALL.

To say “it’s unforgivable”

And then fire them.

That's all.

They just handed them a pink slip.

And said “It’s ok that you killed this innocent black man, here's a job referral so that you’ll be sure to get another job. Have fun!”

One kneeled on this poor man's neck,

While he gasped, and said

“I can’t breathe”

He knew what he was doing.

He could have stopped,

But he didn’t

And Floyd died.

And they just fired them.

People are protesting,

The family is saying they should be harshly punished,

And I agree.

And you can’t say “it's because black’s are more violent

Don’t you see they live in the bad neighborhoods,

And there are shootings everyday!

And oh dear, they’re in gangs!”

Ok, sure.

What race are most school shooters,

What race was Dylan Kebold?

What about Dylann Roof?

George Floyd was charged with ALLEGED forgery,

FORGERY!

Dylann Roof, who we knew killed those black families,

Just trying to exercise religion,

Was taken in peacefully.

This man MURDERED my PEOPLE.

And was taken in like he got a DUI.

But they killed George in daylight,

While being filmed, and they knew,

The system would protect them.

The system was made to protect the public.

Not the police.

I’m scared of the police.

I’m scared that one day, my dad will be pulled over for no reason,

And that someone I know and love could be next.

I’m tired of fighting for my rights,

And being followed around in stores.

Someone I know has been asked to empty their pockets in a store,

A respectable, kind person.

Just because he was black.

This melanin that’s in my skin,

Remember all the pain our ancestors have experienced.

We will rise,

And we won't be silenced.
