Kim Kardashian Supports Black Lives Matter Movement In Website Statement

Celebrities are still speaking on their disgust about the unjust system that has been killing our black men and women, but many fans can’t help but notice the silence from the ones who aren’t Black but indulge in Black culture. Well someone has finally spoken up and ironically her statement may have been better than what a lot of people expected.

Kim Kardashian took to her site to express her feeling on the deaths of #AltonSterling and #PhilandoCastile as well as to show her support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Heres what she wrote:

#StraightUp

#BlackLivesMatter
“This week we watched Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two innocent black men, get senselessly murdered by police officers. Like a lot of you guys, I watched the videos, and was appalled and completely heartbroken. I was left speechless, angry and numb.

I want my children to grow up knowing that their lives matter. I do not ever want to have to teach my son to be scared of the police, or tell him that he has to watch his back because the people we are told to trust—the people who “protect and serve”—may not be protecting and serving him because of the color of his skin.

The last thing we need is to fuel anger with more hate or violence, especially toward the many incredible police officers who risk their lives every single day to protect our families and communities. We must peacefully use the power of our voices and the strength of our numbers to demand changes in the judicial system so that brutality doesn’t ever go unpunished.

It is our responsibility as Americans and as parents to create a safe future for our children. We must do something NOW. We must speak up until we are heard and real, effective changes are made.

Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Sean Bell … and unfortunately so many more.

Hashtags are not enough. This must end now.”

She even went as far as to provide links to donations for the families of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling as well as a link to help find your local legislature.
