In honor of Juneteenth 2021, I wanted to put out a song that speaks to my fellow white people about Black Lives Matter. 
 
Black Lives Matter is about justice and equality. You would assume that most people would agree with a movement focused on fundamental human rights for those oppressed since the development of this country. But, according to a Pew Research survey in September 2020, less than half of White American adults support Black Lives Matter. 
So, I thought it would be a good idea to use my white privilege to try and speak to my fellow white folks who don’t support BLM - and what better way to do it than with a country song? Yeehaw!
 
This video is not about Democrat vs. Republican politics or liberal vs. conservative ideologies. We all should agree with Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter is about human rights. It is about bringing awareness to the issues that people of color have always dealt with and still deal with today. It is about working together to change the systems built on racism and inequity. At the core, it is about love. 
 
I love all of my fellow humans. We must bring light to the issues in this country so that we can start to make actual changes. And we can’t stop. Black Lives Matter and Juneteenth aren’t just some “trends” to get involved with and then forget about. This is about people’s lives. Find a way to get involved and do it. And never stop. I believe in you. I love you. 
 
BLACK LIVES MATTER. 
 
I love you.
