➡️@newsone_official:
CNN reports Travis McMichael, one of the three White men convicted in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, was sentenced Monday to life in prison plus 10 years after his federal convictions this year on interference with rights -- a hate crime -- along with attempted kidnapping and weapon use charges.
His father Gregory McMichael and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan are due to be sentenced later Monday at the same Georgia courthouse on convictions of the same federal charges. All three already are serving life sentences for their convictions in state court on a series of charges related to the killing of the 25-year-old Black man, including felony murder.

My name is James.
I am a white man. I can do, say, and be all of these things without fear because of my #whiteprivilege and I will not be silent about the injustice that has existed forever but is now just reaching your TVs or newsfeeds. This is not a new concept and it’s despicable and it needs to stop! I stand with my black brothers and sisters.
I will not be killed.
I can go jogging (#AmaudArbery).
I can relax in the comfort of my own home (#BothamJean and #AtatianaJefferson).
I can ask for help after being in a car crash (#JonathanFerrell and #RenishaMcBride).
I can have a cellphone (#StephonClark).
I can leave a party to get to safety (#JordanEdwards).

There is a large difference between racial solidarity and performative activism. Be amongst those that want to see that racism is abolished and the continuation of improving black lives.
Remember if someone is able to use their social media platforms to broadcast some “skinny tea,” “meal plan,” “hair gummies” then someone should post about the black lives matter movement. To want a change and to care for the welfare of all humans, but most importantly those that are being abused by society, government, and police the most.

candicepatton I’m not a great runner. Terrible actually. But I run today for Ahmaud on what would have been his 26th birthday. No justice, no peace. #irunwithahmaud #showhisface

Burn out The Darkess Bring in the Light! This is one of the Most beautiful photos that I’ve ever seen.❤️💙🙏🏽❤️💙🙏🏽 I stand with each and every one of my people that has had their life ripped away from them because of the color of their skin, .
Remember
‘Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.
To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.”
James Baldwin

Photographs during this black lives matter movement that showcase police officers kneeling or hugging black children should not move you. It should not make you feel better about police officers or think that they’re being a part of this movement because their acts are just pawns being moved on a chess board. It’s meant to appease protesters when faced with photographs and videos of police officers murdering, harassing, and endangering black lives. What would speak for volumes is police officers who are antiracist that stand against their own partners in blue who are firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Similar to the white protesters making a wall to protect the black lives, black protesters protecting a separated police officer, officers in blue should form a wall protecting black lives JUST LIKE OFFICER KRYSTAL SMITH IS DOING. We should be seeing more police officers like this! Don’t let the media warp your view when they highlight police officers participating in kneels or with their fists raised, because its only once the visible news camera clicks off do the masks fall off too, that cell phone cameras catch acts of violence towards peaceful protesters.

I want to go to protests and marches. I want my voice and the voices of others to be heard. I want to do more than repost and reblog in hopes of the right person seeing it.  I’m tired of having these opinions and not being able to do anything about them.
