If you have been paying attention this past week, you've heard about George Floyd and the terrible tragedy that ended his life. It was brutal, disgusting, wrong, and the very depiction of the worst of humanity. Those officers deserve the very worst the law can give them and they NEVER should have had the badge in the first place. They are the scum of the earth and I can't even begin to express the outrage I feel towards them.
But I believe we are giving way too much attention to the "officers" and not enough time to talking about George Floyd himself.
From everything I've learned about him recently, he was an amazing man. A man who people called a "person of peace", and a man who fought for a better community and life for the next generation. The Pastor of Ressurection Houston was quoted saying:
“George Floyd was a person of peace sent from the Lord that helped the gospel go forward in a place that I never lived in.”
It is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking that he was murdered. It never should have happened and there will never be a reason for police brutality. NEVER.
Please watch this short video to hear George himself share his heart. George Floyd speaking his truth.
Now that we know a little more about this wonderful man, and the fact that he was a man of peace, I've been thinking about all of the chaos I'm seeing on tv and on social media. I can't believe that he would be ok with the "protests" that have been happening in his name.
Let me be clear: I am ALL for justice and awareness that brings major change in this country when it comes to racism. It is time for real change and it's high time we had those uncomfortable conversations. But this is NOT THE WAY. Looting, shooting at each other, attacking innocent people, burning down buildings and businesses - STOP. You will never get what you want or prove your point with violence. Violence is never the answer. Killing innocent people is never the answer. Killing George Floyd was WRONG, but when people go and kill in return, it makes them no better than the cops who kill(ed) innocent people too.
THIS IS A PROTEST. This brings real change.
THIS IS NOT A PROTEST. This breeds hate and kills many, many more innocent people.
What's worse, is this is exactly what the real racists want. This is exactly what the media wants; To divide us in every way possible. By race, age, political party, religion, class and status. DON'T LET THEM WIN. Do you notice how all of a sudden, Coronavirus has magically disappeared in the news? Have you noticed how the media spins every story to paint their narrative? Wake up and notice the patterns, people. They are playing you. They are controlling the narrative any way they choose and society is letting them. Have you noticed how black men and women are killed daily, yet the media only shows you the stories that they can use, manipulate and spin to fit their narratives? Did you know this was an election year? Have you noticed how divided we are becoming as a nation, even in our own families? Is that ok with you?
It is time to RISE UP and stand up to the real racists. The real white supremacists. DO NOT LET THEM DIVIDE US. They can't stand it when black and white people get along, When black communities thrive. When minorities succeed. They want us at each others throats, blaming each other, hating each other, and worst of all, killing each other. When are we going to say enough is enough? Stop listening to the main stream media. Do your own research. Be smart and use your mind to find the truth. Zoom out and see the big picture. Stop letting lies and emotions dictate over truth. Stop listening to celebrities, athletes, so-called journalists and people who know nothing about what the every day person goes through, tell you how you should think, vote, feel or act. Stop being a slave to hate.
You want to see a real white supremacist? Look no further than this man right here: George Soros.
Have you ever heard of him before? You should have. If nothing else, you must have heard Taylor Swift mention him and his family in her anger, during her 2019 Billboard Women of the Decade speech. He was one of the main funders behind stealing her music catalog out from under her. But that is just the teeny, tiny, speck of the iceberg of this evil man. I beg of you, if you want TRUE change, if you want to know the truth, if your heart hurts seeing all of the hate and anger out there right now, look this man up. He is a billionaire who funds everything evil in this world. Just do your research. (I recommend using the search engine duckduckgo.com. They don't censor anything.)
All of this madness the last few months has made me do a lot of searching and learning and finding out the truth. The things that happen behind the scenes. The good, the bad, the ugly.
I have this one line from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire resounding in my mind, over and over again...
But guess what? WE can be the change!
YES, Black lives matter, but this is not black versus white; This is wrong versus right. We need to come together in peace and love and grow closer together as humans. We are all the same - no matter your race, religion, social status, sexual orientation etc. We are all humans who have a voice and the power to change this world. Let's lead with love. Let's show the evil people out there that we are going to come together, not push each other away. That is real change. So let's keep speaking his name, but let's also continue his fight for peace. George Floyd, RIP.
To all of the good Police officers out there who fight for justice and for what is right, who fight to keep us safe and who have been devastated by all of these "cops" who should have never had a badge to begin with, I say thank you. I support you and thank you for joining us in fighting for true justice.
I'll leave you with these 2 things. Please pay close attention to this picture and please listen to this song. I love you all and my heart hurts for the pain that is being inflicted on this world. I stand with you. 🤍🤎🖤💓
PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS SONG!
