Black Lives Matter

Updated: Feb 15, 2022


I feel lucky to have been born white and privileged, as I can only imagine how awful it is to be prejudiced against for the colour of your skin - that people notice skin colour before a person's character or personality. The world needs to be re-conditioned to stop unwanted prejudice for future generations and everyone come together as equal human beings.


I want to learn more about what it means to be anti-racist rather than just not a racist. I have put some links below to read up about and educate myself and others.

We need equality;

Them, me, you

Live our lives

Without prejudice

No police brutality

Anti-racist now

Give black people

Their own power

Uncondition our minds

Time to start again

Innocent until proven guilty

For black women and men

Unite as friends

All on the same side

No-one having to hide

Walk tall and be proud

Be part of the same crowd


Upsetting but important links to view:

Black is the color of a bruised eye When somebody gets hurt. Black is the color of darkness. Black is the color of dirt. How come my bone structure's so thick; my hips and cheeks are high? How come my eyes are brown and not the color of the d…
