We must remove our self-applied, invisible shackles from our ancestor’s past and move forward. Rise up! No one's stopping you but you. 

 We must take accountability for our own choices and actions and stop blaming others. You are in the situation that you are in because of YOU. Rise up!

 We must first stop black on black violence before we can demand the respect of others. Rise up!

Black Lives Matter shouldn’t come with the subtitle of, “only if it’s taken by a white person.”
