Good afternoon everybody.

I checked my petition stats and saw that people donated to my petition!!! That's amazing!!! I am overwhelmed with love and happiness! To think that even though you people have never seen me before, you believe in my cause and donated to my petition, I am completely blown away!!! I am in awe of you all, and I love you all with all my heart! You make me know that there is hope for the human race, and that no matter who we are, we always look out for each other! I love you all so much, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I used to make the donations myself with each pay-cheque I got, I would set aside some funds for this petition. But I just saw that people were helping me, thank you so much!!! Whatever donation you helped me with, every little helps, and it boosts this petition and makes it seen by more people. Thank you thank you thank you! I love you all.

I just wanted to take time out to thank each and everyone of you. When I started this petition, I started it because I knew there was a way to spread awareness and realness into the world. You see, I never really thought that this petition which I started would be taken seriously, or even taken into consideration. But as each day passed, and I saw the number of supporters grow from 10 people, to 25 people, to 70 people; I knew that there were people like me who saw that a need for change had arrived.

I saw a comment under the "Reason for signing" section on this petition, and the person said "One day we will no longer define people by their skin or hair colour...", and I say that day is now. It starts with us. If we keep saying "one day, one day" without putting in action, that day might never come. It starts with us, and we make that day today.

I encourage everybody to rise and shine their light forth. Every person of good and pure heart, start it now. I never would have imagined that I would start something and it will resonate with so many people. I never would have thought that I could do something like that, I only believed I could. The night I started this petition, I kept waiting for the "right moment"...there was no "right moment". The moment was then, the moment is now, the moment was made right by me. I stopped procrastinating and second guessing, and I made this petition.

Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has been an object of vicious racist and sexist attacks, and more often than not, I see comments like "it's because she's 'black'". I put it to you, what does that mean? How do you darken your heart so much that you allocate someone's suffering to them being "black"? If you do that, you are wicked and part of the problem. I used to see a racist statement like "oh it's because she's 'black'". You have to be the most vile, sexist, and racist person in all of life to concoct such a statement and even spread it. You are vile if you also accept it. That is the most untrue thing I have ever seen. In fact, statistically, more business owners in america are African American women and Asian men and women. Stop trying to sell a negative mindset to people, and people STOP BUYING THEIR NEGATIVE MINDSET! I encourage all "black" women not to accept that horrible state of mind. If they try to say that to you, remember that the people saying that to you are jealous because they cannot stand up for themselves, but you can stand up for yourself. I also encourage you to throw away the narrative of "black" women being rude, or having attitude. Racism aside, there is really no need to be rude to anybody and then give a flimsy excuse of it's because you're "black", or you're "black and bold". No. You are not "black and bold", you are loud and that is arrogant. You are associating rudeness to being "black", and you give more ammunition to racists.

Duchess Meghan Markle is not going through what she is going through because she is "black", she is going through what she is going through because of wicked and racist individuals who feed off of discrimination and brokenness. Calling a person "black" can be grounds for racism. Duchess Meghan Markle is under attack because she is not considered from a well off family, oh and she's "black". The british media could not be more racist than this.

Let's talk about united states of american media, shall we? I went on snapchat lately (a social media app), and while scrolling through "stories", I found this one talking about a disabled man in a wheelchair who had found love. I clicked on it knowing how much I enjoy real love stories. I watched the first 20 seconds, and was simply appalled and turned it off. In the video was a caucasian man in a wheel chair and a "black" woman who are dating. The man said "when people see a 'black' woman pushing a disabled man on a wheelchair, they simply think she's the caregiver". How was that allowed to even air? Do you not see the problem with that? Racism is so in-depth in american media, the man said people think that a "black" woman pushing a "white" man in a wheelchair is the caregiver. What kind of non-sense do they portray in american media? Because it is very disturbing and very insensitive. AND, more importantly, what made people even have such assumptions like that

Honestly, pray for america. They so dehumanized the "black" people there: putting them in slums, making them feel like dirt. AFRICANS WHO IMMIGRATED THERE, OR ANYWHERE, DO NOT CALL YOURSELF "black". HAVE SELF RESPECT AND REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM. REMEMBER YOUR HERITAGE. I encourage people to get inspired by countries with good histories and great love and diversity; countries that spread love not hate. I encourage countries to change their ways and spread love, not hate. I encourage you, be a part of the solution and not the problem. DO NOT CALL YOURSELF "black" anymore! Call yourself African and African American because that is who you are. You are not a name concocted by racist white people to ensure that you forgot who you were, and your heritage. BEFORE YOU WERE ANYTHING ELSE, YOU WERE AFRICAN.

Do you see what I mean now when I tell you not to refer to yourselves as "black"? Do you see what I mean now when I say do not let people refer to you as "black"? Do you see what I mean now when I tell you to find out where your true origins are? These countries that the world looks up to carry racism whether they know it or not, and it has to stop! The time is today, it ends today!!!

I encourage you again, as humans let us learn to spread love and spread light. No racism will ever come near us In Jesus Name, Amen.

It starts with us, it starts with you. DO NOT LET ANYONE REFER TO YOU AS "black". DO NOT REFER TO YOURSELF AS "black". RISE ABOVE IGNORANCE AND CALL YOURSELF BY YOUR ACTUAL NAME.

 

CHANGE THE TERM "black" TO AFRICAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN TODAY!!!!!

PLEASE KEEP SHARING MY PETITION AND MY UPDATES. CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD. CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE AWARENESS.

I love you all
