And please don't generalise situations like Zimmerman and others like that as just racism. These cases need to be evaluated case by case. It's not as black and white as: he had a gun, the black guy didn't, this was wrong.
This is frustrating.
#Blacklivesmatter was founded as a result of police brutality, no matter the race of the cop, happened as a result of racism. Why is this so hard to understand? The point of it is the police brutality against black people. That is the specific thing they're protesting.
Upon this point I feel the need to point out that as a middle-aged white Canadian woman,
I am also very afraid of police brutality.
