Black Lives Matter - By Fizah Ahmad

Its so disgusting how the fact that people can’t choose their own skin color is used against them in the topic of police brutality, and it’s just utterly ridiculous. Since when is it a black person’s choice to be black? Why wouldn’t they be black? Black is a beautiful color, nonetheless ALL colors. You can’t prove me wrong no matter what you try because at the end of the day it’s always the police firing into the crowd, initially starting all the violence. These people can’t go out without their families worrying themselves sick for them. There definitely shouldn’t be any discrimination based off of color (black), religion (Islam) or race (Hispanic).

Our ethnicity, race, color and religion should not determine our future fates, ones which we deserve to create. Our background or appearance doesn’t change that, and no corrupt government system should. All of us are the same, and the decision of color is on God, not the people. White cops decide to assume that black people do not deserve the confidence and beauty they carry, so they kill. Violence is never the answer, and not in a million years will they have the right to hit someone based off of their color. Silence is not helping them, especially right now when everyone’s voice needs to be heard. Together, we can get back the rights we deserve and transform the broken and corrupt systems surrounding our environments.
