Black Lives Matter

Shame me no more

Blame me no more

I am not my hair

I am human

Treat me with kindness

I matter

We matter

^{Photo by munshots}

When you see us

You see a threat

I am flesh

I have fears

I have feelings

Listen to me

Don't hurt me

^{Photo by David Ramos}

But you let me down

burnt me to ashes

you let me fall

and withdrew your hands of love

you went deaf on my cry

don't punish me

but you did

^{Photo by LOGAN WEAVER}

Here we are fighting to live

fighting to be heard

Crying to be seen

Don't judge me for my skin

Don't profile me for my looks

Black lives matter

We matter

Let's do better

hey do you know anyone who would like to admin the Black Lives Matter Hive community? I think we need one now.

[dante31]

I can't think of anyone right now but could we talk in DM. Maybe on Twitter or discord.

It is so true - all life matters - wish our government will start realizing that with all the farm murders here in SA -

Hi
I know all lives matters. I think we all do but let's stay on topic and be sensitive. I know you mean well but right now. We need the world to know #blacklivesmatter

About dokmviolence in Africa, we experience such in Nigeria as well. From the Boko Haram to thr fulani heards men and many others. Including then police killing innocent citizens and false accusations and imprisonments to be forgotten. It gets worse everyday.

It is very very sad
