Beyonce and J-Z Beyonce Knowles is a proud black woman who is married to Jay-Z and donated 1.5 million to the black lives matter. Beyonce was apart of “Black Lives Matter” and supported her color. One way she supported her color was by posting something on Instagram. She posted a picture and commented under it. “We don’t need sympathy. We need everyone to respect our lives. We’re going to stand up as a community and fight against anyone who believes that murder or any violent action by those who are sworn to protect us should consistently go unpunished. We are sick and tired of the killing of young men in our communities. It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they stop killing us. These robberies of our lives make us feel hopeless and helpless but we have to believe that we are fighting for the rights for our next generations, for the next men and women who believe in good. This is not a Plea to all police man but to all human being who fails to value life.The war on people and color and minorities need to be over. Fear is not an excuse. Hate will not win.” Beyonce and Jay-Z felt the need to do what they did because all of this needed to be put to a stop. By,Dajiaha Nichols
Taraji P Henson Taraji P Henson who is an American actress and singer and also played in Empire is someone who supported the Black Lives Matter campaign. On Instagram Taraji posted “the truth will set all us all free� and that blacks lives matter too. Taraji loves her color and she wouldn't want to change it or bleach it. She is proud of what she has accomplished and she is amazed on how many people she see standing up for themselves. Taraji feels good about her color, personality, and soul. She has the mind of a true black woman. Not only does Taraji open up about raising her son as a single parent and being in an abusive relationship. She also speaks about racism that she wants to see come to an end.
Queen Latifah is a bold black women who is not afraid to stand up for her rights.She speaks her mind and the truth.Queen Latifah once said� I don't care how much money or things I have, or Puff Daddy has, or Missy Elliott has, the ladies have, if I go outside and try to hail a cab and he passes me for the white woman standing right there that racism is still alive and kicking,And we have to change that." I'm just saying we gotta change this attitude."That right there was bold and her speaking the truth and she was right.You should respect our lives just like we respect yours.Im not talking about certain people im talking about everybody in general.I want all of this nonsense to stop because everybody opinion is making the situation worse and making people mad.Lets make a difference and change all of this because the next generation deserves better than this.
Zendaya Coleman “ How many more times must this happen for us to matter?” “How many more must we lose?”Zendaya. Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman born September 1, 1996. Known as simply Zendaya as an American actress, singer, and dancer. She has been acting on Disney Channel since 2010 and is still acting on things other than Disney. She came out in support of Black Lives Matter and some people were less than enthused, due to her biracial background. She was caught in the crosshairs along with other mixed race BLM advocates like Taye Diggs, Alicia Keys and Shaun King. Despite the controversy, Zendaya and other biracial celebrities continue to support Black Lives Matter and its satellite causes. I think Zendaya is someone who stands up for herself and has her own style. People in the media often like to backlash her about how she “tries” to be black because she's not fully black. This doesn’t mean you have to be fully black to stand up for what's right for black people at all! Mostly Black Men are being put in jail for crimes they aren’t even committing and they are getting killed for no reason and all. People are still showing racism here in the world. Some think racism is in the past, but people aren’t doing it as obvious as they did 60 years ago. Zendaya definitely supports various charities like this. #BLM.
Inspirational poem
By,Dajiaha Nichols
White is not the only color I see. I see Black and white in our community. There once was this man who made this speech and it was for all of us to come together in peace. Which is what we did but look at us now we're back to square one and we all know how. He just wanted us to come up together but were slowly drifting down like this cold weather. We, as in people, let him down and now we need to turn all of this around. Come together as one and stop all of this bickering and arguing. Because this does not need to go into the new generation.
You killed me for being me. By:Nia Burks You killed me because I had a hoodie on and you didn’t notice that white man with one on.You killed me before I even stepped into the house of the Lord.You killed me because I had a fake gun in walmart which walmart provided for us.You killed me for sitting in my car on my bachlerette night.You killed me for selling cd’s outside of a supermarket.You killed me for selling cigarrets outside a cornerstore.”You killed me because I Was Black”. You killed me because I'm not white. .All of this makes no sense to me.You need to go back and think of all those memories.All of those black and innocient faces you cant take back those lives even if you tried. You killed me for being me.
