Last term we spoke extensively about systematic racism and its horrendous effects. Thankfully there are social movements like Black Lives Matter that expose and fight against racism, intolerance and prejudice (as we learned from Apollo, Tamara and Tiya’s AWESOME presentation). For a moment, I want you to pause and reflect on the images that come to mind when you saw the BLM marches. They peacefully protested the loss of an innocent black man yet some media outlets presented a completely different story.<\/p>\n

This was the Capitol (the US federal government building) when the BLM protesters were nearby.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, a protest occurred. But it was starkly different than what we saw in the summer. Trump heavily encouraged his supporters to fight against the counting of the electoral votes that will eventually confirm that Joe Biden won the election. So what ended up happening yesterday afternoon? Hundreds of Trump supporters pushed through barriers and fought with officers. Some of the officers were even called ‘traitors’ because they were allowing the vote to happen, ummm… even though they were doing their job? About an hour and a half later, the rioters pushed into the Capitol building and tried to break windows and doors to get in and stop the vote from occurring. 4 demonstrators lost their life. There were evacuations and guns drawn. So let’s return back to BLM images. Please browse through accredited news sites and images to compare and contrast the BLM and yesterdays riot.<\/p>\n
