Racism absolutely exists, and there are thousands of articles and videos out there that prove it. Before arguing that a minority (especially one you aren’t a part of) doesn’t suffer from discrimination and oppression, do your research and educate yourself. Just because you don’t experience it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Just because someone is caucasian, heterosexual, cisgender, and not in need of money does not mean that they cannot be depressed. Depression is an mental illness; it doesn’t care about your position in life. Don’t disrespect depressed people.
Everyone is deserving of respect. Except for rapists, homophones, transphobes, misogynists, misandrists, and murderers.
Taking part in protests, yet continuing to do/say racist things does not make you an activist, it makes you a douchebag who takes advantage of the horrible injustices faced by minorities in this country for popularity/respect.
Nobody should ever have to fear public officers because of their race. That’s fucking insanity.
If people are rioting because of police violence, the proper response is not to be more violent.
Your past may explain your negative actions, but under no circumstances does it excuse them. If you do something wrong, you will be held accountable, regardless of your tragic backstory.

Don’t judge a group by individuals in it. Hating entire group simply because a of a few select members is NOT a wise way to go about life. If one person makes a mistake, they deserve the consequences, not the entire group. For example, not all Christians are homophobic. Sure, there are a lot of homophobic Christians, but they shouldn’t all be judged by their religion as a whole. Similar situation when it comes to racism. There are a LOT of racist Caucasian people, but not all of them are. Just like, though there are some African American criminals, the innocent don’t deserve to be incarcerated simply due to ignorance. However, certain groups cannot be looked at with this rule, such as Nazis or pedophiles. But, for the general public, the point still stands.
The people you choose to associate yourself with are the people others will look at when judging your character. If your ‘friends’ are bad people, you will also be seen as a bad person. Be careful who you hang out with; they help to shape your personality.
Opening states up again this early is going to be one of the biggest factors in the recurrence of the virus in Autumn. We are putting the economy over people’s lives by doing this, and, as much as we’d all like for our normal lives to resume, this isn’t the way to do it.
