They came for Oscar Grant and I didnt speak out because I am not Oscar Grant #IamOscarGrant They came for Trayvon Martin and I didnt speak out because I am not Trayvon Martin #IamTrayvonMartin They came for Mike Brown and I didnt speak out because I am not Mike Brown #IamMikeBrown They came for Eric Garner and I didnt speak out because I am not Eric Garner #IamEricGarner They came for Malcolm and they came for Martin and they came for Medgar. #RIP They came for Fred Hampton, sleeping in his bed. #NoKnock They even came for the children, Aiyana and Tamir. #KidsWillBeKids They choked a father of six to death and the whole world watched. #DoTheRightThing #IndictTheSystem Now killers have the gall to apologize to widows and orphans and grieving mothers after getting away with murder #SorryNotSorry #ICantBreathe They came for countless Black people whose names we have forgotten or never knew. They just keep coming because nobody is stopping them #StrangeFruit Maybe you didnt speak out because youre not Black and you think this isnt your problem. #BlackLivesMatter I heard you saying that the victims were thugs so I guess you dont know youre part of the problem. Maybe you didnt know that thug is just another way to call someone a n-----. #ImNotRacistBut... Maybe you think youre protected since youre #CrimingWhileWhite Maybe youll never have to consider what picture theyd use #IfTheyGunnedMeDown Maybe you think they arent coming for you because #WhitePrivilege Think we live in post racial AmeriKKKa? #ThinkAgain Do you really believe that these human beings deserved to die because some white cop was afraid of their Blackness, because maybe (MAYBE) they sold loose cigarettes, maybe (MAYBE) they shoplifted Swisher sweets, or they carried skittles, resisted arrest or put up their hands and did not resist arrest, wore a hoodie, had their hands in their pockets, played with a toy gun, slept soundly in their home, or hopped on BART with everyone else on New Years Eve? #HandsUpDontShoot Tim McVeigh survived arrest and got a fair trial. Charles Manson survived arrest and got a fair trial. The hoodie-clad Unabomber survived arrest and got a fair trial. #InnocentUntilProvenGuilty Its open season for Black people to die in the streets and in their beds at the hands of racist cops and vigilantes who serve as their judge, jury, and executioner #EnoughIsEnough They are murdered for #LivingWhileBlack If the accused had survived arrest and IF they were tried and convicted for actual crimes in a court of law, they would NEVER have received the death penalty. They would be alive and breathing today. #ICantBreathe Murder is a capital offense; wearing a hoodie is not. Most of the killers will never even see the inside of a court room. They will continue breathing and most will continue to wear a badge and wield a gun. #ThinBlueLine #IndictTheGrandJury Who will they come for next? My husband? Your son? All of our brothers and sisters? #ShutItDown #ThisEndsToday Everyone who is still breathing must now breathe for the people weve lost. We must fight for justice in their names. #NoJusticeNoPeace Never ask for whom the bell tolls. #ItTollsForThee
