To those on my friend list who are trying to defend these actions (shockingly all white people) I am no longer appealing to you through arguments, through documented proof of institutionalized racism, through proof that this boy was shot 6 times and had his hands in the air, through recollections of Emmett Till. I leave you only with these words spoken by Martin Niemoller during the Holocaust. First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. #Ferguson #blacklivesmatter #nojusticenopeace
