Let‟s imagine my hypothetical, alternate world:<br />
I want a Black police officer or any POC to shoot a good<br />
man, a family man, an honest man, a WHITE man. I want<br />
this to happen a lot. I want to hear about this every<br />
week. I want to read retweets on Twitter and see angry<br />
posts on Facebook. I want the newspapers to print<br />
screenshots of CCTV footage. I want the media to corrupt<br />
an innocent man. I want social media to share the<br />
footage of these shootings; I want it to trend<br />
worldwide. I want there to be a #WHITELIVESMATTER and<br />
campaigns and protests across the globe. I want to see<br />
white families reduced to tears in press conferences. I want<br />
white people to come to resent the blindness and<br />
INJUSTICE that exists in their world. I want those who<br />
support this movement to feel as powerless and<br />
defenceless as the MILLIONS of POCs who feel unsafe in<br />
their own neighbourhoods, who are seemingly hunted<br />
as prey to a predatory and unjust system, who are<br />
picked off as carelessly as rats, who don‟t get the<br />
justice they deserve, who don‟t get the representation<br />
they need, who don't get the opportunity to impact<br />
change, who don‟t get listened to because people are<br />
now so desensitized to the killing of Black people.<br />
I want nothing more but for the tables to be turned and<br />
see how quickly things change.<br />
EMPATHY IS EFFECUTAL
