We all deserve better. Our country has issues with racism and patriarchy. While systemic change may be challenging, you can make a difference in your immediate environment.

It took the killing of a white woman in South Minneapolis to recognize police brutality as an issue. The speaker believes police are being militarized, making people unsafe. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman has never charged an officer in a citizen shooting. The speaker claims the United States does not address police brutality because historically, it has impacted people of African descent. Justine Daman and Ja'Marr Clark should still be alive. The speaker hopes it doesn't take another white woman being killed for people to recognize this issue.

Things are bad, everyone knows it. It's like a depression, chaos everywhere. People are fed up with the news showing nonsense. We're not going out anymore. But I'm not letting you off the hook. I want you to get angry, to stand up, go to the window, and shout that you've had enough.

Speaker 0: I am so angry. I am so angry. What are we doing? What are we doing? They killed another person. None of us was just safe. And anyone who is still telling us that we're being manic right now is not fucking paying attention. I am walking around with a gas mask in my fucking purse just in case I run into ice. I am walking around with goggles just be in case they gas us. I don't know what to do with any of this. I'm so angry.

Hi. Every forty five seconds, a black man enters an elevator, and some stupid white bitch clutches her purse for a dear life. Now you might not think we notice, but we do. And while you think you're protecting yourself, in actuality, you're provoking a savage attack. The small step to the side, your subtle death grip on your belongings. It makes me wanna snatch that fucking purse out of your hands and beat your racist ass to the ground. However, I'm not gonna do that. But I'll tell you what I will do. Dumb bitch.

The speaker expresses frustration at being treated poorly, saying, "y'all need some edumacation. For your silence." They also ask, "They can spit on me again? Just once though."

I am sad and angry, and though I may not say the right thing, I have to speak up because I have a platform and have always stood for equality, being a voice for those who feel voiceless. This has gone on too long; people have gotten away with murder. We need fairness and justice for all because the world is not fair. If you don't understand, you've never felt unheard or unequal. Magnify that feeling and see what's happening. Let's send love and try to find peace and communication.

What must I do in this council to earn respect as a Black woman? I’m not afraid of anyone here. I don’t harbor hate; I’m frustrated by the racial divisions and fear that paralyze us. We need to unite to protect our communities and ensure justice for all, rather than crucifying individuals based on allegations. This isn’t a court; everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I’m here to represent my community and advocate for racial equity, which often feels insincere. I stand firm in my purpose to serve and uplift others, regardless of political affiliations. If the voters choose not to re-elect me, that’s okay. I’m here to make a difference.

Speaker 0: What the do I have to do in this council in order to get respect as a black woman? I'm not afraid of anybody here. When I make a mistake, I will be clear. I don't hate you as a white woman. I don't hate you as a white man. I am sick and tired of this body so stupidly racially divided, so afraid, so depraved. People with no faith because they are afraid of their losing their advancement. They're afraid of bargaining. They're afraid of leveraging. These people have, oh my god. I can't even call you cowards because desperation deserves mercy. Cancer to redistricting. Fine. We give it to a white woman. Can we all get along? Can we get together? Can we love each other now? Can we make sure that black and brown babies don't die? Can we make sure that cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? Can we do that? No. No. No. No. Because this body crucifies you first because of allegations. This is not a court. You don't get to crucify people before they're proven guilty. They're innocent until proven guilty. Amen. Now after this, I will look forward to working with you because I have stamina. I believe, as Baldwin said, what you do not what you say. Your votes here sometimes are racist. You move sometimes in a way that hurts my people. Speaker 1: Yes. Say that. Speaker 0: And then when I get up to stand up and talk, oh, all she talks about is black stuff. Speaker 1: Yes. You should. Good. Speaker 0: I am here to represent every single black woman and man that suffers in the community. God has my back. Speaker 1: You got your Speaker 0: am not afraid to not have political asylum or any type of affiliations or connections. I came here, I fear none, no man, but my Lord. Amen. I came here to serve people. I came here to love. I came here to grow. But people talk about this racial equity thing. It's all fake. Speaker 1: Thank you. And Speaker 0: you do politics and you hurt each other. And yet, here I am, five foot tall African woman from the projects. And I am here to tell you, if the voters don't vote me back Speaker 1: We are get votes back.

Look at what you look like; be thankful you’re not in danger. When you come here, remember that people are being taken from their homes. As a white man, you won't face the same consequences. Police kill black people daily, and you’ll never experience that fear. You’re here yelling, relying on your privilege. Historically, oppression has come from white people, and you can’t be racist towards a white person. It’s time to recognize your privilege and the reality of the situation. Go home and reflect on this. No one wants you here, and that’s okay.

I am a black woman who used to be a Democrat but now a Republican. I'm tired of Democrats using fear and oppression to get votes. We all want safety and prosperity. Let's move past fear and anger, forgive each other, and vote for Donald Trump for a better future. Democrats owe us, not the other way around. Let's make them work for us.

A woman states she doesn't think children should be taken away from these girls without her kids present. She asks how white people feel about stopping a Black woman from going to work, pointing out the line of people they are causing. She claims she is not trying to cause problems and that they are just trying to be.

Why aren't we blowing up their communities and flooding their spaces like they used to do to us? They don't care about us, so fuck peace and love because it hasn't gotten us anywhere in 400 years. People should be angry, but many don't take things seriously anymore. They've been had it out for us for ages, and nothing has changed, even with some of us working for them. The Joey Swole situation should have opened eyes, but many are still asleep. We build ourselves up, and they tear us down. It's frustrating to be around a generation that doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Two individuals discuss the anger and injustice faced by a black man in the country. One person shares a story about their father's belief in the system, but how it failed him when he was mistreated by his boss and the police. The other person expresses their own anger and desire for revenge, relating to the feeling of rage when someone they love is harmed.

I don't care about you. You’re nothing here, just a dog in this country. I'm a Black American, and I'm done with you.

Speak up about important issues; that's what you can do as an average person. It's not about going to war, but about raising awareness. When only a few speak out, it allows others to suppress them. Thankfully, more people are now joining the conversation. Remember, our history is filled with ordinary people achieving extraordinary things. It's crucial to fight for your freedom of speech instead of passively watching your country change. Many are ready to stand up, especially women. An army of mothers is mobilizing in the UK, determined to be heard and not silenced. This is the message: take action and speak out.

"The president has been trying to provoke violence here, right here, in the black communities and in the brown communities, having ICE kidnap our neighbors, having black having the black community be harassed and profiled and want, want a response. We say, hell no. We won't go." "Today, we get today today, we gather to speak plainly about policy path that sounds strong, but in truth, it weakens the very safety we see." "Black people are more likely to be stopped, searched, questioned, arrested, and harmed encounters with the law." "When we add the president of federal agents or the national guard to daily life in these neighborhoods, the burden can multiply." "We're fighting for freedom and safety for all people."

A woman states she doesn't think children should be taken away from these girls without her kids present.

She claims she is not trying to cause problems and that they are just trying to be.

Be grateful for your safety; if you looked different, you might not be here. When you come into spaces where people are suffering and you’re a white man backed by police, it’s a different reality. You don’t understand the fear that others face daily. Historically, oppression has come from white people, and you can’t claim to be a victim of racism in the same way. Acknowledge your privilege and the experiences of those who are marginalized. It’s important to recognize these dynamics instead of denying them. No one wants your ignorance here; it’s time to reflect on your position and the impact of your words.

We must unite against the federal government and bullies. The current administration is criticized for being too male, too pale, and too stale. We refuse to remain silent and will not tolerate this oppression.

We are in pain, don't laugh. If another black or brown person is killed, we'll burn this city down. These houses are on native land. Pay attention and talk.

Every grocery store looks like this. I can't even get food for my kids. I feel like an animal. Black people made me feel this way. We're fighting for justice, but now people can't even feed their kids. It's devastating. We need to be honest about what's happening. We're not thieves. We won't let them turn us into animals. Look at all the items on the floor. Tissue is even on the floor now. We had a shortage before. We have plenty of fruits and vegetables, but I won't pick through this mess.

I'm sick and tired of this racially divided body, full of people afraid of losing their advancement. Desperation deserves mercy. Can we get along and ensure black and brown babies don't die, and cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? This body crucifies people first because of allegations, but people are innocent until proven guilty. Your votes here sometimes are racist and hurt my people. I am here to represent every single black woman and man in the community. I am not afraid to not have political affiliations. I fear no man but my Lord. I came here to serve, love, and grow. The racial equity thing is fake, and you hurt each other with politics. I'm a five-foot-tall African woman from the projects, and if the voters don't vote me back, so be it.

We need to stand up against oppression. If people want to harm us for expressing ourselves, we should respond in kind when they try to suppress us. I'm just tired of this situation.
