WHY I SUPPORT REPARATIONS

These statistics are unacceptable and unavoidable for most Black Americans. Most Americans do not move above the socioeconomic level they are born into. Black Americans have been forced into a low socioeconomic level through racist policies and white privilege. If most of us White Americans are not moving above the socioeconomic level we were born into how do we expect Black Americans to do so? Reparations is not a hand out, it is a partial rectification of over 500 years of racist actions and policies.

“Ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.”

THE BAIL X FUND

Lil Nas X has joined forces with The Bail Project, a national nonprofit organization on a mission to end cash bail, one of the key drivers of mass incarceration and structural racism in the U.S. criminal legal system. Through the Bail X Fund he hopes to encourage other artists to join him and The Bail Project in the fight to end cash bail. 

“This isn’t just theoretical for me. It’s personal,” said Lil Nas X. “I know the pain that incarceration brings to a family. And I know the disproportionate impact that cash bail has on Black Americans. 

“So I’m doing something about it and I invite you to join me. Ending cash bail is one of the most important civil rights issues of our time. Donate what you can to the Bail X Fund.

“Let’s bring people home & let’s fight for freedom and equality.”

arise, dear angel. look at the sky and see yourself there. feel the sun against your back, warming up your wings. let the moon’s light caress your face and stardust fall into your eyes. let your body consume the energy of the heavenlies.
