Dear EVERYBODY!


Dear White People I'm not an animal, so don't touch my hair #BlackLivesMatter isn't equivalent to the KKK Just because you have a black friend doesn't mean you can't be racist Not all black and brown people are illiterate hood rats Yes, white privilege does exist Immigrants can't steal jobs you never had Your people were once immigrants I'm more than just my skin tone Dear Black People, We are colored We are beautiful We are intelligent We are powerful We are capable Society doesn't tell us who we are, nor the media. We come from overcomers, the definition of perseverance and strength. We will not accept anything less than ourselves. Because our color is beautiful 💯💪🏽
