We are all the same! We all have arms, legs, a brain a heart and feelings…. We all have a voice that wants and needs to be heard. No one has the same skin color! Everyone deals with racism at some point in their life! We need to make 2020 the first year where we finally stop this bullshit of division! Everyone is equal and deserves a fair chance. Stop the violence and show the love! Stop the crime and looting! Stop the grudges and forgive each other!! If everyone changes their way of thinking negative and turn this into a positive movement, something will get done! The black community is hurting and we need to be there for them and love them! They are us and we are them! 🙏🧎🏿🧎🏾🧎🏽🧎🏼🧎🏻🧎 #blacklivesmatter #blackandwhite #blackouttuesday
