Stars Take Part in Black Lives Matter Protests

I’m shook. Yesterday was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I witnessed things yesterday afternoon that I’ve only ever seen in movies. I live in the epicenter of West Hollywood where the peaceful protest quickly took a turn. I’m sad it became violent, but the violence didn’t begin yesterday. It’s been present for generations. What happened to George Floyd wasn’t an isolated incident. It’s a systemic problem that is now being filmed. Even if any of you feel as though all you are seeing are posts about the horrendous injustice, it pales in comparison to what the energy felt like being on the streets and there can never be too large of a light shone upon the truth. In my stories I’ve posted ways you can also join the movement. Please speak up, show solidarity, own the injustice. White people (and yes, I’m referring to myself as well) learn something and do something. It’s not enough to just post. Listen. Speak up. Amplify. And don’t stop there. Join the fight against injustice. #BlackLivesMatter ❤️

#blacklivesmatter protest in LA was overwhelmingly full of peaceful passionate and heart sore people. Please don’t assume these protests were ever intended to be anything but that. We are being manipulated by what we see in the news and by the actions of select individuals. #blm

I am a white male in a biased country. We are not one people. Even though this country claims we are. Racism hasn’t stopped and will not stop, until the bases of this country reforms along with the ones who are sworn to protect it. #gottamakeachange#blacklivesmatter
