Black Lives Matter

I disagree with the ongoing and institutionalised racism which has been happening in many countries for a long time, including my chosen home Australia.

More influential and more eloquent people were able to describe how I feel about this better than I ever could. And I am certainly not going to propose solutions on how to help.

But I would like to show my support for the Black Lives Matter movement and other, similar movements through this article:

[I] stand with those who have long been marginalized and oppressed. If a better and more just society is to emerge out of this rage and anguish, then the underlying causes that led America here must be addressed. A critical first step is the acknowledgement of the profound injustice and institutionalized racism that is still destroying communities to this day. Another step is to listen to the people who have gone unheard, and support them in creating real change.
