this is a revolution. #blacklivesmatter

Dear Crew,
I was apprehensive about making this video because I didn't know if I had the right words to comfort my people and shed light on how horrific these past weeks have been to us, but I have a responsibility to use my platform regardless of my feelings. I wish I could've said more and I am actively still speaking out screaming BLACK LIVES MATTER from my lungs. I love you and I'm supporting you in this difficult time.

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

"All Lives Matter."
Yes. All lives do matter, however black lives are under attack and need attention right now. If a house is burning., the fire department will send their fighters to pour water on that one house. This is not because all houses in the neighborhood don't matter, but because that is the only house on fire.

"Racism is all in your head based on emotions."
This is a link to a short, informative animation explaining systemic racism in an easy way to understand better: https://youtu.be/YrHIQIO_bdQ

"I'm not really into politics like that. It's not for me."
Please understand, not "being into politics" or having to care is a privilege within itself. Not having your daily life affected by this is a privilege. This isn't only about politics, but about how you value human life.

"It's horrible they're killing black men right now, but the looting and violence have to stop."
Let's rephrase: It's horrible there's looting and violence right now, but killing black men has to stop. I'm not justifying anything, but I'm also not judging how people choose to riot and protest after they've been abused, mistreated, oppressed for decades with their voice being suppressed. These are real people with real emotions who have real limits. We need prayer. Rioting is the language of the unheard.

"Where's the Christian community in all of this. Seems quiet."
You cannot love Christ and hate his creation at the same time.
