Privilege

by D.   Jun 6, 2020


"All Lives Matter"
"Reopen the schools"
"Open the strip clubs"
"I can't breathe"
"We need haircuts"
"All Lives Matter"
"I want my daughters and sons to live"
"Silence is not Innocence""
"Stop killing us"
"Open The Damn Malls"
"All Lives Matter"
"They Can't Kill Us All"
"I don't have kids but you already thought about killing them"
"I won't be forced to Vaccinate"
"Make America Open Again"
"Open The Salons"
"All Lives Matter"
"AM I NEXT?"
"All Lives Matter"
"We Can't Breathe"
"I can't breathe"
"All Lives Matter"
"Give us back our jobs"
"Give us back our sons"
"All Lives Matter"

    THIS, Daniel, should be turned into a videoclip, because these voices were so alive in my head. Heartbreaking. Every sentence, the juxtaposing of "all lives matter" people and ACTUALLY oppressed people who have been suffering from the injustice, racism and violence of the system for years. Wonderful depiction. So sorry the world is this cruel.

      Me too, Noura. They are all real voices too, which makes it all the more heart-breaking.

    Having to read the phrase "we need haircuts" right after "I can't breathe" gave me goosebumps. It's such a simple write, but it's so eye-opening. Thank you for writing this!
