want Black films of Black WOMEN
Black women angry
Black women vindicated
I want to see the justified anger but also the softness the vulnerability the compassion the selflessness the dire need to be selfish finally as she is able to enact her fury upon those that oppress her and be protected in the end. I want to see Black women loved and protected. I want to see Black women supported. by community.
I want to see her destroy. I want to see blood, guts, entrails, their tears I want to see her paint a gory scene with them treat them like the creatures (oh how they project) they are. how long was she made not human? how long has she bled?? I want cathartic screams of relief released. I want her shedding herself, birthed anew, rising from their ripped apart flesh.
I want allusions to already known events in which Black women have yet to receive justice (Sarah Baartman Breyonna Taylor Chennel Rowe Dr. Antoinette Candia-Bailey) I want allusions to the lack of love and representation of Black women in our communities.

BLM 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEthalZ9o-U
From watching the video, understandably, the police officers shot Walter Wallace Jr. because he was running after them with a knife, after telling Walter to drop his weapon several times. However, his mom was chasing after him and stated that he was going through a mental crisis. With this information, it gave the officer no right to shoot him fourteen times in front of his mother who was trying to stop him in the first place. On top of that when has a knife in a gunfight ever been fair? They could have tased him or shot him in the leg. Whatever course of action they decided to take shouldn't have resulted in his death. Just like the George Floyd incident, the actions of the police were acted on against an African American making it a racial conflict. There has been an increase in the number of  Black Lives Matter protests for the justice of Walter Wallace and black lives.
This incident is sadly just one of many examples of the unfair treatment African Americans receive by police officers. This has been an issue as long as there has been more than one race on this planet. The government is not doing their job in keeping everybody EQUALLY safe. They constantly look over the issues African Americans are dealing with, and won't listen when there are protests constantly taking place about the issue. For years they have fought for equality, and yes by law they are equal, but the actions portrayed by the police say otherwise. 
How many times does the police department have to kill, and harass until a change is made? How many African Americans have to be treated unequally until their screams are heard? Thousands of protests have already taken place, but yet the screams sound like whispers in the government's ears. I'm tired of seeing people die because of the color of their skin, and I'm tired of there not being appropriate actions taking place for change. This is America, the land of the free, the place for opportunity. This is not just a black and white world, it's more than that and needs to be seen that way. Everyone is raised differently, as well as looks different. African Americans shouldn't have to be scared by police as they should be seen as a form of protection.
Walter Wallace's mom was crying for help, and her son was shot right in front of him. The police officers as protectors should have tried to get Walter's cooperation, as they would have most likely done if he was another color. It is time for police brutality to come to end and the unfair treatment that African Americans receive by police. It's been time that African Americans who were victims of racism and discrimination receive justice for their hardships. 
Seeing the way African Americans are treated by police, and the police officer's actions to protest make me sick. It makes me scared that I'm going to be treated differently by the police because I don't have the typical traits of a typical white American citizen. If I feel this way, not even being African American meaning something that needs to be done to ensure the safety of African Americans.

Ever since 2016 events that would normally define the entire year if not the entire half of that decade for the USA have become just this week’s news and this year watching so many things slip under the radar underneath covid and the protests it’s become even weirder.
There was an impeachment trial. An unfair impeachment trial that didn’t convict a guilty man. That would normally define a presidency. Impeachment almost never happens. A sitting president was impeached. Think about that. Nixon, Clinton, that’s what their presidencies are remembered for.
But the world is so full of news right now and this president is so... that. So he just walks I guess. And plunges us into a preventable health crisis. And is insensitive about the death of over 110,000 Americans. And turns the national guard on peaceful protestors so he can hold a bible in front of a church whose leadership doesn’t approve of him. And tries his hardest to turn the clock back on lgbt+ rights. And disrespects military leadership. And continues to be racist.
And in any other presidency any of these things could define it. They could be the one big stain on his reputation forever. But they’ve all (except for impeachment) happened since March.
In less than four months Trump has done the deeds of at least two administrations worth of bad presidents if not more. Is history over yet? Because I want there to just be one boring day.
The world just needs a really boring day I think. I think we all deserve boring lives actually. Isn’t that what we’re all fighting for? Boring, uneventful lives where our deaths are quiet and forgotten with a couple of generations? Don’t we all have the right to be forgotten? Shouldn’t people like Breyonna Taylor and George Floyd have had the right to just live long boring loving lives and then become just another death certificate after a hundred years or two of being forgotten? Shouldn’t we be there already? Didn’t all those people that died from coronavirus deserve a lot more years of boring?
Why can’t everything just be boring? I wanna be bored. I want everyone to be so bored that we have to make our own entertainment and that’s all we ever do. I wanna hear about parades for nothing and community gardens and political news about infrastructure budgets. Not human lives being taken for what? Money? Power? If you’re willing to trade lives for power then you don’t deserve power. Just give us the space to be bored. For crying out loud.

Unpopular opinion: 🗣KARMA ISNT REAL🗣.
Karma is the tool of the pacifists and pushovers.
Karma implies there's some universal concept of fairness, and universal morality. These things do not exist. The cosmos has no requirement to be fair. A planet full of the most benevolent and moral beings could be destroyed by any number of astronomical events just as easily as a planet of the most evil beings, and the likelihood is only determined by the position of that planet in space, not based on the actions of any of the population.
Who arbitrates it? Who decides that, because you were a dick to that guy on the subway you now have to stub your toe? Who decides what child is starved? What woman is raped? What black man is shot by an officer? It sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare and antithetical to the parsimony we usually see in natural processes.
Karma is a coping mechanism of delayed gratification - like heaven and hell- because there are laws against revenge and retaliation. It’s a concept riddled in fear.
We are told Karma will even things out. But it doesn’t. I have seen too many decent people taken advantage of and even tortured while predator people do just fine and keep getting better at the expense of their victims. But people will hang onto the concept of karma- because it’s all they have and can’t deal with the idea that the one that has so wronged them will never suffer any consequences and have no means for compensation unless they deal it themselves.
To believe in Karma is to believe Breyonna Taylor doesn’t deserve justice...George Floyd didn’t deserve to breathe...Our ancestors deserved bondage
Do you believe that? Because I don’t. I can’t

Whew, man. Being out there, it hits a lot different. I first was in awe of the unity and the love that was in this massive crowd. For a second my faith in humanity was restored. People were out there passing out free water, free snacks, free first aid and I was like wow, how amazing are people in this world? And then... then I remembered WHY we were all out there. And my heart started to hurt. When I started to scream from the depths of lungs, THATS when I became overwhelmed. Like why? Why do I have to do this? Why is this the action we have to take to see our friends and our family be treated equally. Why do I have to be out there screaming and begging for myself and my future kids to be treated with respect!? Why do we have to ask to stop getting murdered? What kind of sick shit is this?
I STILL have ALL of these feelings. To those fighting this fight, I love you guys. I really pray that THIS is something that needs to be in history books because we changed the world. With that being said, NOT all lives matter UNTIL Black Lives Matter !!!!!!!!!! 🤎✊🏾.
For anyone in the Los Angeles area I post frequent updates on protests around the world, as well as police and national guard presence. You can follow me for updates if you need information @lovesauma

American Rant
aWhen we were younger, we were taught that America is beautiful, America is free. We were taught that we should love our country above all else. The first thing I learned when I walked into that pre-k classroom was the Pledge of Allegiance. I would see the American flag, and I would be proud. I would sing the song “I’m proud to be an American” during karaoke at my family reunion. I would tell my parents how much I loved living here.
And then I came out as panromantic. 
Suddenly, America didn’t seem so welcoming. It seemed cold, uncaring. Whenever a boy in my class would hit on me, or I would get catcalled by old men in cars, I would feel empty. Hollow. Was this still the America I lived in as a child? Or had I been teleported into another world? In child America, all people were loved. In America then, it felt like I was an outcast. 
Oh, to be only an outcast.
A year after that, I adopted the label “nonbinary’. suddenly, the America I had lived in seemed foreign. I no longer lived in a place that even slightly resembled the America I used to live in. And then my eyes were opened with the death of George Floyd, Breyonna Taylor. And all the kidnappings of Indigenous people. And the murders of transgender people. The r*pe and sexual assult on women, my own sexual assault experience. None of this existed in the America I knew. 
Maybe this is the reason for people’s ignorance. They believe the lie sold to them in their very own Pledge. But after all I’ve been through, all I’ve seen, all I know? I don’t say the pledge. I don’t care about the flag. I’ve stopped singing. 
My parents, my family like to believe lies because they’re convenient. I once told my mother that I hated this country. She said, “Hate gets us nowhere. Change things yourself,” and the first thing that came to my mind was, “No, but a plane ticket does.” What happened to my young, innocent self? Would I be like all the people who support a lie, served to them by a man with orange spray tan? If so, I think I’m better off hating America.
