In Solidarity with Black Lives Matter 

If you look at it carefully Homestuck in a whole shows a greater battle not only within the lines of the trolls and humans but with their ancestors too it closely reflects on real life which I find fascinating. Something about Homestuck always draws me back to it whenever I feel sad.

No it's more like we harass the ones who harass others in the streets. Just those. The ones that have jobs to get to and have lives to lead are cool.

@@panthekirb7561 Do you have a source for that claim?

@@panthekirb7561 consider this tho: cops just straight up shouldn't kill anyone because that's a fucked up abuse of power. If they don't have the professionalism to detain a threat then they shouldn't be on the force

@@panthekirb7561 I think 10 is a big enough number when it comes to human lives!!!! This makes me remember reading this poster that said something like one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic. I took it to mean that every single life has infinite value, and because infinity + infinity = infinity, it doesn't matter how many people die, the fact that anyone is dying is already an immeasurable loss. I think less about Black Lives Matter as an organization than black lives matter as a statement. Black lives matter. That sentence is fact. All lives matter, so we should be spreading love and positivity for the sake of all lives being acknowledged as infinitely valuable, regardless of skin color, ethnicity, language, etcetera. Let's all pitch in to tell the world that black lives matter as much as anyone else's life! ♡♡♡♡

@@panthekirb7561 Ok thank you for the clarification, but to your point, there are more ways that the police are disproportionately targeting black people than just shooting them. The stop & frisk program in NY targeted mostly black people despite blacks & whites using drugs at similar rates, and black people are incarcerated at a disproportionate rate compared to whites for minor drug-related offenses. It’s the killing of black people that’s gotten people into the streets right now but there are all these other things police do that make black people feel unsafe. www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/

@@panthekirb7561 Also, I found another source that shows exactly how many people were killed by police last year and their race, armed or unarmed, mental illness etc, since the link you posted didn’t give any number, let alone the number you posted. This one actually says there were 14 unarmed black people killed by police last year, not 10. That being said, what should be alarming is that the majority of shootings, regardless of race, were done WITH NO BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE. This makes it harder for the officers to be prosecuted if the shooting isn’t seen as just. This is why so many people at the protests are posting videos on social media of the police attacking them despite the protestors making no malicious advances, because the police themselves can’t always be trusted to show the truth. www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/police-shootings-2019/ .

1. Please stop trivializing the BLM movement with fictional characters and obvious statements that undermine the fucked up issue at hand. 2. Caliborn is, in fact, the best character in Homestuck.

@@literallyn01imp0rtant had us in the first half ngl, thank you for pointing this out tho

@@literallyn01imp0rtant excuse you 😂 but Karkat is BEST boi I am sorry

This is actually untrue, as many protesters are still wearing masks and proper protection. I understand your concern, but it comes out of a place of misinformation

Konan Kid You see a few riots and lootings, and you assume the whole Black Lives Matter movement is bad???

@@konankid2340 Please keep your eyes open. I won't tell you what to think, but I think it's important for everyone to carefully observe the current situation and base judgments on facts we've gathered on our own rather than secondhand information or biases we've acquired in the past. Whether the conclusion you reach is in agreement or conflict with the one I have reached doesn't matter, but I hope that when the time comes this ordeal will have resulted in more love and acceptance in the world than there was before. Thank you for reading to the end, and I'm sorry if I've come across as aggressive or self-righteous in any way. ♡♡♡♡

@@konankid2340 My people are dying in the streets and nobody bats an eye but non living things are being taken and broken and now it's time to speak up? Lmao

Consider that they are mostly masked and in an outside setting, which isn't ideal but, well, neither is lynching.
