At the (possible) peak of racial protests in the United States, I believe that this simple emoji featuring a black hand and white hand shaking will provide a way for those who are not black to show their support for the push for racial equality. This emoji is not tied directly to any group, as there are many different viewpoints on these groups and executives at Apple may not be willing to come out in support of these groups at such a controversial time; However, including this emoji in the apple emoji keyboard would still provide a way for non-black people to show their support to the black community.

To those at Apple, Unicode, or whoever may be in charge of creating emojis used on iPhones: I am not criticizing these companies for not already including this emoji in the keyboard but I believe that now is the best time there has ever been to add it. This is not someone asking for money, a platform to speak upon, or any other good that would cost money. This is a 17 year old white kid asking for a simple yet globally recognized way to show his support for his black brothers and sisters while they are in a vulnerable state.
