What are some ways to get more involved, especially during the time of quarantine?? As a "child," I just find it hard to find things that aren't for an age group older than I am... and since it's quarantine, it's harder to make sense of things. If anyone has any advice on somewhere to start, I'd be eternally grateful....
hmmmmmmmm do you mean like for the BLM movement equality justice etc.
yeah
Well akkk nerd alert weeo weoooooo
ok so I suggest that if you educate yourself like in general read books with people of color in them, try to understand the BLM movement beyond the news, try to realize your own biases (everyone has them) and act upon trying to annihalate those biases
these are just a few to start and if anyone i mean anyone needs any book suggestions, needs some videos to watch or articles to read, or need a different or somewhat the same perspective on things just message me
Alright, thank you!
I'd love book/video/article suggestions, do you want me to message you or something??

You should look into The Black panther Movement (BORN IN MY HOMETOWN YALL SUCKERZ) im just kidding but it was a really good movement
oh and often times if you isten to rap specificly 90s 80s rap it sorta helps understand the movement idk if that makes sense im wording this terribely (LISTEN TO 2PAC) sorry was that to subtle
