メリッサ・ビショップさんのインスタグラム写真 - (メリッサ・ビショップInstagram)「To think one day that this sweet baby girl may be bullied because of the colour of her skin or the way her hair looks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or to think that her dad, my husband, who is the gentlest, kindest, and most loving person, who is black, could be KILLED on a run because of the colour of his skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Both of these scenarios are a nightmare to me as a white woman, with white privilege. But this is REAL LIFE for black people and POC. Why does the colour of ones skin dictate how they get treated? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s time for change. My daughter, my husband, my extended family, my best friends boys, my friends, coaches, teammates, classmates, and any POC I have the privilege of knowing. You deserve what I deserve. You deserve to be treated fairly based on WHO you are, not on the colour of your skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BLACK LIVES MATTER. I stand with you. I stand beside you. I am here for you. I will keep fighting for you.」6月13日 2時56分
