Yes, I think that the BLM movement is necessary because people needed to step up because it is wrong how everybody doesn’t have equal rights.

I think BLM is a necessary movement because this is supposed to help blacks to have equal rights and to be able to take stand against racism.  This movement is especially important because it shows the young black community that BLM is particularly important for us because it supports us. So, I think BLM is necessary.

BLM is necessary because it’s very important and brings awareness to serious issues in the world.

I do think Black Lives Matter is a necessary movement. I think that because Black people are still being treated unfairly and there needs to be a Black Lives Matter movement to show people that Black people matter.

I think BLM is necessary because throughout all the years black people’s lives were treated as nothing and more and more black lives were taken. I think this movement is a way to show people the problem and telling them a way to fix it.

Black Lives Matter...Black Live Matter… but do they really Matter.

To the families having to endure the pain of your sweet baby boy or baby girl being gone out of their precious lives

Now the sweet memories don’t feel as sweet anymore…….

To all the kids in the parking lot waiting for their parents and their life flashes before their eyes…..

Now wait until mommy hears about this one 

To all the boys with nothing to do and get into something that they can’t get out of…..

Now where was his so called “home boys” when he needed them most

To the celebrities who have “BLM” in their bio and don’t bat an eye to the injustices that are happening

I hope you know what’s coming for you…

To all the people who have be wrongly murdered and haven’t got their justice…

Rest in peace and in power but to those people who think there getting away think again.

  And to the people who think that black people don’t deserve there own month after all the hurt and pain 

You need to get you eyes and ears checked..

Also to the black people who have been wrongly accused for something that they didn’t do and put to death…

We will get you justice and all the others who haven’t got their justice in time we got you to..

And finally to the young black boys and girls who don’t fit in..

You don’t  need to fit into a role, stand out and be the best you can be

This is me 

I am who I am 

and I’m proud of it 

This is me from my Afro to my walk 

This is me from my music to my talk 

from my box braids to my cornrows 

My crown sits still no matter where I go  

I’m black and I’m proud and I stand on that 

Some people own a gun, and they shoot it fast just for fun, but what if you're on the other side of the barrel, so scared you have to run. Is that fun? A family of four coming home from dinner, went to the arcade and became big winners, then they’re pulled over, at the mercy of a simple trigger. Is that fun? Held at the mercy of a gun, thousand killed a year, (woah) that's a ton.

Black, white, grey, blue which one are you? How do you do? Many sizes, many faces, many classes, many places. Some end up in the sky, leaving people asking why. Some people live a long life, letting brutality breeze by.
