We are not the problem!
'We're not'
We are not the problem!
And I'm going to tell you something that most people ...
The police are not the problem, the police are not the problem!
I don't care what you think,
I don't care how angry you are, they are working under a system,
the problem is the system.
Shut it down!
Hands up! Don't shoot! Hands up! Don't shoot!
Stop killing black people!
There's no such thing as a peaceful protest!
There's non-violent protest but the protest is not supposed to be peaceful.
I'm not singing we shall overcoming, skipping down a bridge and shit,
this is supposed to make people think about the fucked up systems they've created.
I can't tell white people to fix up 400 years of shit that they've missed out.
That's not my job to fix.
Why is it black people's job to fix up white people's shit?
I don't know.
Hands up! Don't shoot. Hands up! Don't shoot.
We refuse to take this, we refuse to take any more of this bullshit.
We will not stop until we see change, we are protesting peacefully,
we will continue to protest peacefully.
No one here is a looter, no one here is a raider,
we are protesters, learn the definitions of all three.
Because the media keeps confusing them.
Thank you. That's all I have to say.
We are united!
I can't even begin to describe
or tell you the amount of times I've been racially profiled.
First time it happened I was seven years old, didn't even understand it.
The second time it happened to me I was 12.
And then 14 and then 15 and then by 17 I had a gun pressed to my chest.
But the worst one for me has always been Tamir Rice.
A 12-year-old kid.
A 12-year-old kid playing with a toy gun and they shot him
and it's got to stop.
It's really got to stop.
Hands up! Don't shoot! Hands up! Don't shoot!
As we go on they are going to try to provoke us,
they are going to try to get us to attack them,
you're not giving them that!
We're not giving them that privilege!
We are not! We are stripping them away of their privilege,
we are going to keep walking past them.
They are going to figure out where the fuck we are going
because we are not going to tell them.
Excuse me! Are you the commanding officer?
We need to get through here.
Please, go ahead.
Thank you, thank you.
Let's go, let's go!
They cannot wait to use those batons.
They can't wait to break your bones.
They can't wait to see your blood.
Specially black blood.
You're on the wrong side of history. Every single one of you.
Especially you with the ugly tattoo.
It's about time that they did it.
I think I've been silent for too long and this is the first of many steps
to show my support and do what I can do and use my white privilege.
The white moderate is actually the thing that's creating this racism
and we won't let that happen, and I think it's up to the white people
who used to be moderate to be anti-racist.
I believe without a doubt that change will come from this protest
because this protest won't stop until change comes.
For the first time ever, I am seeing a sea of people at these protests,
it is not just black people, it's not just leftist people,
it is not any political group, it is America who's upset
because there's an injustice. Injustice is injustice.
White people see it, Mexicans see it,
Chinese see it.
It does not matter who you are, you see the injustice and you no longer want it.
That's why this is the revolution that's going to change it.
Everybody, you're beautiful!
You're beautiful!
Our leaders got assassinated and I'm pretty sure when they left this world
they knew that change wasn't done.
They knew that they had more work to do
and I feel like it's up to us, not even us black youth,
all the youth to make a change,
I don't feel like it's the last effort, I don't feel like this is the last protest
but I'll do as many as I have to, to make sure that we get justice.
