    Gosh that’s messed up. Then they turn around and say that “POC are violent” when the underfunding of services leads to desperation, lost hope etc then the violence probqbly starts after being treated so badly

      I wasn’t even really aware of this here until I joined in the marches after George Floyd was murdered. Started working a bit more with our local PoC figures and it became an eye opener. I try to help where I can with drives and awareness but with being vaguely involved with local politics, when funding for these areas get brought up it always falls in dead ears. They tried to get money for a park and cleaner water but we really needed a new baseball stadium instead, ya know?
