This is not okay! Black lives matter!
/“Six California officers fire shots at rapper who had been asleep in car, killing him”
He was asleep in his car.
Know how many times I've worried that if I take a nap in my car (which I do from time to time), I might be shot to death by police if I roll over in my sleep too fast?
Zero. None. And any officer can run my plates and see I have a concealed-and-carry. I could have a gun in the car (though I rarely do). But I never worry I will be killed for taking a nap.
Because I'm white.
That's privilege.
I never even had to think about the fact that I don't have to worry about that.
That's privilege, too.
And every second white folks spend denying that is a second they aren't spending actively trying to make a more just world for people who do not have the luxury to not have to worry about extrajudicial police murders.
So step up, white folks, and scream, "This is not okay! Black lives matter!"
