It's not about you😊

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change, I am changing the things I cannot accept. - Angela Davis

We cannot accept black people being brutalized and murdered by police officers and white supremacists. And we will never. Things have to change NOW.

Did you sign at least one petition today? Did you raise the conversation with at least one person? Did you educate yourself? Did you donate? Did you share at least one important resource?

You have the power to help make a change. Take that power and put it to use, now. #BLACKLIVESMATTER 

Visit https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ and use your power.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Do not stay silent, please. I made some CC for the upcoming Simblr community protest. Please, I urge you to stand by the Black Simblr community and show your support for the Black Lives Matter movement. This is not the time for silence.

To other white people like myself, I ask that you educate yourself. Don’t just look at stuff on the internet, but also talk to others about the injustices they have faced and be respectful. Learn and listen and grow.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

We are not staying silent and we are definitely not accepting any kind of racism.We need justice for all the lives that have been taken and for all the horrible times that we have been through. The world is broken and even though this is only a tiny step forward, it is a start for something big. If we all stick together, watch out for each other and pull up for those that are in need of help..we can make this world better. Staying silent in those kind of times, just means you are totally fine with what is going on. I see you all, all those who prefer to go to fancy events and posting their fashion pics instead of marching with us. Pull up!

Mississippi Goddamn 

Oh but this whole country is full of lies! You're all gonna die and die like flies! I don't trust you anymore You keep on saying 'Go slow!' 'Go slow!' But that's just the trouble...

'Do it slow' Desegregation 'Do it slow' Mass participation 'Do it slow' Reunification 'Do it slow' Do things gradually 'Do it slow' Will bring more tragedy 'Do it slow'

Why don't you see it?? Why don't you feel it?! I don't know! I don't know! You don't have to live next to me, Just give me my equality! Everybody knows about Missouri*! Everybody knows about Minnesota*! Everybody knows about Mississippi goddamn!

Gen 3, 4 and 5 of the Baird legacy family supports #BlackLivesMatter and the ongoing protests around the world against racism and police brutality.  

Outside of the Sims world, Black people and communities still face scores of systemic injustices that in too many horrible cases take their lives. 

Though I’m a PoC myself, I think about my privileges and unconscious biases that perpetrate racial inequality and injustice towards Black communities. It’s easy to shut it off and escape in game where everything is perfect, but even how we play shows off our prejudices, I think about that all the time even when I just build and I commit to always do better.

I’ve donated here and will donate more when I’m less broke: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019

Disgusted. Angry. Hurt. There is no word or way to describe how the world is feeling. The state of our world right now is unacceptable. It’s 2020 and we are still fighting the fight our ancestors have fought for years. Fighting for the lives an safety of black people throughout the world against the individuals who took an oath to serve and protect. THIS HAS TO STOP! WE WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING! BLACK LIVES HAVE ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS MATTER! #NOJUSTICENOPEACE

Silence is deadly. Silence is evil. We will not be silenced again.

“Tonight we march. Tonight we gather in solidarity & tonight we say fuck you to all the people in this world who hate us because of the color of our skin. We are decendents of our ancestors of course, but this generation says enough. WE WILL FIGHT BACK FOR OUR RIGHT TO EXIST. WE WILL STAND UP FOR OURSELVES & FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES FOR SIMPLY EXISTING. To all of the our black brothers & sisters & non binary people who have been killed because of the color on their skin or how they style their hair or for being wrongfully framed & targeted or for just playing games with their nephew & being shot by a cop in their own home or for being pulled over for not turning on their turn signal or how they identify themselves to the world, please SAY THEIR NAMES. THEY MATTER. YOU ALL MATTER. WE MATTER.

Black. Lives. Matter!” -Dante Woods

@ebonixsims thanks for bringing our community together tonight🖤
