Not just a label of being on the right, the left, the center, conservative, liberal, or any others. I am HUMAN like you with ideas/beliefs/etc on the spectrum.

Disclaimer: This is not an excuse; just another perspective.
Most racist people do not know/think/consider themselves as racist. Telling them that they, their actions, their words, or their thoughts are racist isn't going to change their mind.
#RacismIsDeeplyRooted
The Golden Rule is a principle of treating others as you want to be treated that is shared and taught by many religions and cultures around the world but is so quickly forgotten when it comes against the preservation of self...
#GoldenRule
Even if for the preservation of their own preconceived perception.

To paraphrase @chrisrock: How is "a couple of bad apple law enforcement officers" an acceptable excuse when having a couple of bad apples in other critical services, like airline pilots, is completely unacceptable? #BlackLivesMatter #NoMoreBadAppleExcuses
You might have a chance to say All Lives Matter one you can prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that #BlackLivesMatter ... until then #AllLivesMatter is just a lie plain and simple.
It is very difficult to post lately, as I cannot be the calm voice amongst the chaos as I sought out to be.
"... with liberty and justice for all." It seems like we, as a nation, have forgotten this. If there is liberty and justice for all, we wouldn't have these protests. We wouldn't have riots that are piggybacking on these protests. #BlackLivesMatter
“To Protect and To Serve" is LAPD's motto, since 1963, that has been adopted by many law enforcement departments across the country. Who are we protecting and serving if it every person regardless of their color, wealth, gender, or creed? #BlackLivesMatter
To focus on the riots and looting is to actively dismiss or ignore the protests for equality and justice. If "equal protection under the law" is disproportionally killing black people, why would you think anything less would happen? #BlackLivesMatter

I may joke about being "Socially distant since <insert birth year here>..." Seriously though... give some space from the person next to you. Including but not limited to queues or grocery store isles. #SixFeetAppart #SlowTheSpread #COVID19
Practice social distancing by putting space between yourself and others. Continue to practice healthy habits, like washing your hands for at least 20 seconds and staying home if you’re sick, to help slow the spread of #COVID19.

You wear a mask not for yourself, but for those around you. #BeTheShield #WearYourMask #SlowTheSpread #COVID19
Take action to slow the spread of #COVID19 by wearing a cloth face covering in public spaces, keeping at least 6 feet of physical distance, & frequently washing your hands.
Make a cloth face covering from a t-shirt, scarf or cloth napkin. Learn more at bit.ly/2Ravt42.
Let's just be honest: @TheDemocrats are just giving lip service with their short term bandages, but with no real substantive long term plans. This is like picking a fight with the @GOP for the sake of picking a fight.
And on the other side of the coin: @GOP is just running their victim-bully playbook, blocking anything coming from @TheDemocrats because they were not "brought to the table" so put in loopholes for their 1% and ignore the rest of their constituents.
A statement/claim made without evidence from a person in authority does not make that statement accurate or factual. That statement/claim being repeated, whether by the originator or others, doesn't make it more accurate or factual without additional evidence. Ask for the proof!
