FOR THOSE WHO ARE GROWING TIRED of hearing Black people cry about
being oppressed, I have a challenge for you: Help us. Make it stop.
The American Civil Rights movement was successful, not only because of
the protests and outrage of those whose rights were abused, but also
because of allies in majority communities who used their power and
influence to help bring about revolutionary change. Help us. Make it
stop.
You hear ignorance in your circles, make it stop. You learn of
abuses of power, make it stop. You see police brutality in Ferguson
and Staten Island, make it stop. We are grieving. Our blood is in the
streets. If you really believe in Black humanity, if you really believe
that your rights are our rights, if you believe in America, speak out,
rally, protest, hold this system accountable. Help us. Make it stop.
