Would You Just Accept it If we Murdered your Children?

This weekend the entire world has erupted in Protest against the egregious acts of not only our Law enforcement, but our President, and Racism as a whole.

The feeling of togetherness, family, and raw emotion from so many different creeds of people at one time was a vibe you could never create and Im proud of every single person that came out and continues to cry out for the rights and just treatment of all people but specifically Black people in America.

Role Model: Lakeith Stanfield

Many of you know him from his co-star role on hit series Atlanta starring Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, or ten minute role in the instant cult classic “Get Out”. But the brother is much, much brighter than the limelight has shown him in these occurrences. For one, he is outright Black, and I mean that in the strongest connotation possible, also Stanfield is advocating Black advancement in entertainment. One of the reasons he has become one of my favorite actors in Hollywood.
