This is sorta where I draw the line.

I love that people are standing up for what they believe. I like the list of 5 demands I saw yesterday. Up until I saw that I was kinda wondering what the point of all this was if there was no demand for concrete change. Keep protesting, keep raising awareness. It's doing it's job. People are now aware that there is an issue and with those 5 demands, I can keep an eye out and vote appropriately if/when legislation happens.

But I didn't know George Floyd, so I'm not going to a vigil. I'm not going to a protest, because I think it's much more important to vote for the right people. Also, we've seen those things get out of hand. I get up at 5:30, I have breakfast and check forums for a bit, I work until 5 PM, then I cook dinner, then I do schoolwork, then I eat and shower, and if I'm lucky I read a chapter of a book. If I have any free time, I use it to doordash to make extra $$. That's my normal day I have shite to do. I can't get be going to a protest that starts at 8 PM when I have work in the morning.

I don't say that people who don't support my causes are the enemy. They might disagree with me, and that's alright. That's why we have the right to protest. But don't label me as a racist because I'm busy living my life and trying to pay bills.

It was a joke i dont care.
