Carl Lentz Instagram – Fresh attempt #3. I deleted my last photo, because to some that image of another man dying on our streets was actually causing more pain. To those people, I am sorry. To @janayhsalcedo I’m sorry for initially pushing back on your perspective and I’m learning as I go. One thing I do know, I’d rather fail and apologize and learn then play it safe and silent and scared. ***************
So back to the point of all three posts, as I think of George Floyds daughter and her mother today:
Please be mindful today, that the other three men that murdered GEORGE FLOYD, ARE STILL FREE. This is not going to go away. To the people trying to demonize others, for speaking out against racial injustice and police brutality, you will not win. To the people who are more concerned with politically correct photos and statements, than they are RACISM DESTROYING GENERATIONS in our world, you will not win. Save your comments, search your heart. Drop your old, tired way of thinking and renew your mind. This makes you uncomfortable, and I’m glad. We have all been too comfortable for too long. For the people in the way back: demanding greater accountability of our police, IMMEDIATELY, demanding justice for all, IMMEDIATELY, does not make a single person anti-police. Countless GOOD police men and women are yelling THE SAME THING. You just dont want to heart that. I’m not going to bring that FACT up again, personally. Your narrative is tired, its wrong and it is one of the factors that has perpetuated this exact thing. Its made people, its made “pastors” afraid to speak out. That day is done. Looting helps nothing. Violence, is not the way forward. The loss of ANY LIFE, any police officer is devastating and absolute tragic. It is also NO MORE DEVASTATING THEN FREDDIE GRAY. OR SANDRA BLAND. OR GEORGE FLOYD. LETS BE EQUALLY OUTRAGED. Peaceful, passionate and constant protest is what has and will continue to turn this country and its deeply rooted injustice towards BLACK PEOPLE upside down. I pray we will never be comfortable ever again, until we see basic human dignity and equality for all people. | Posted on 04/Jun/2020 00:26:42
