It's going to take a whole lot more than some white people saying "we need to do better".

It's past time to act on those words.

If the terroristic Trumpublican treason riots taught us anything it's that decades of inaction emboldened the great evil lurking within our country.

I've heard it all before. Lots of empty promises with little if any substance behind it from the very same people that apathetically let catastrophic institutionalized racism persist because they can't be bothered to lift a finger or do anything other than pay lip service to us.

Honestly it's exhausting. We have these periods of hope, as if something will change, almost always catalyzed by some horrific event.

But what happens? People lose their focus and attention. They don't do anything of substance.

And the problems continue, with many lives lost.

Meanwhile, in the world of actually being a person of color, life is difficult. We aren't afforded the same rights, privileges, and opportunities.

We're treated as second class citizens, if not criminals and terrorists, because of our complexion and appearance.

This all happens while we're told, "we'll do something for you." But that something never really comes.

Those same politicians who keep promising change don't deliver on it.

Even now, after George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many more murders we can't seem to make progress.

We're told, "now isn't the right time," by the same people who don't have to fear for their very lives just by virtue of their lack of melanin.

Must be nice to be able to tell the oppressed, terrified masses that their time is at some never to be realized point in the future.

Because, in reality, and let's be very real, capitalism relies on a system of castes, and people of color are part of the lowest tier of those same castes by default.

Why? Because we "need" an underclass of exploited workers doing the jobs nobody else wants to do.

That's why.

People say, "oh but we've made so much progress."

Really? Is that why we have 4% of the world population, but 25% of the global prison population, with 38% of those incarcerated being Black Americans, while they only make up 14% of America?

Then sprinkle in forced labor on top!

We have the slow motion genocides of both police violence and the institutionalized racism of medical neglect and lack of accessibility KILLING off people of color in the US.

But few even seem to take notice, let alone take any form of action that makes a difference.

It's sad.

But you all want to keep telling us to be quiet, sit down, improve our attitude. That something someday maybe might happen to make our lives less full of darkness and violence. If we're just well behaved that maybe our white masters will give us something resembling equality.

Even now, even after everything, our so-called allies in the Democratic party are telling us to sit down and shut up about police reform.

This while we see during the Trump riots that the police were HOLDING HANDS with and TAKING SELFIES with and ENABLING racist terrorists!!!

I've had enough. I'm not willing to wait. I'm not willing to behave. And I'm not willing to be quiet.

The US is one of the most diverse advanced countries, but also the most racist.

That racism has to change and I am sick and tired of tolerating it in the interest of peace!

So I ask you to consider joining me in the rebellion against racism in all its forms.

True allies don't just avoid being racist by saying and doing horrible things — they FIGHT it.

Calling it out and supporting people of color who are under attack.

Be an ally.

Be a true hero.

Let's fight racism together. Let's stop this multi-century experiment of American white supremacy. It's failed not only our country but the entire world. Let's instead come together in the common interests that we all have as human beings and fight against the true enemy: racism.
