Magnus lets out a content sigh, his eyes closed as he listens to Alec’s soft snores, knowing that the warmth that fills him up has little to do with the coffee in his hands or the fire faintly crackling in the background.
“Are you sure you weren’t once a zoo keeper?” Alec’s lips brushed Magnus’ cheek as robins sang around them. Magnus laughed, leaning into Alec’s side. “You should know by now I’m a man of many talents, love.”
You know what doesn’t sit right and will NEVER sit right…
How George Floyd, a good innocent black man went to the store to buy things who then was murdered by a police officer for suspected forgery.
Then the next day Peter Manfredonia, a white armed serial killer who was on the run across 4 states, was caught and arrested peacefully.
And how black and black ally protesters in Minneapolis protesting for the arrest of the officers who killed George Floyd, were attacked by the police. They were peaceful.
But a few months ago, white people stormed governments buildings in Michigan protesting the quarantine because they wanted a haircut and the police did nothing to them. They were armed.
The problem is clear as water. WHITE PRIVILEGE AND RACISM. It exists and is real. Deny it? You’re the problem. Don’t say or do anything about it? You’re the problem. Abuse your white privilege? You’re the problem. Don’t see a problem with all this? YOURE THE PROBLEM.
CRY WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY. MOURN WITH THEM. STAND ALONG SIDE WITH THEM. FIGHT FOR THEM. BECAUSE BLACK LIVES ARE IMPORTANT AND THEY ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MATTER.
