Let’s be honest. This sub is not as active as we would like, and we, the mods, are responsible.

It’s because of that inactivity, and because we have each struggled over what to say and how, that we’ve delayed so long in speaking up about what is going on the world today.

The recent series of killings of Black people by police disgusts us, individually and collectively. The protests that have sprung up in response to this repulsive and meaningless spate of violence are inspirational, but it should never have taken the murder of innocent people to bring this out.

FemmeThoughts stands with the Black community. Black Lives Matter. They will always matter, even when the unjust governments and societies around the world do not treat them as if they do. They matter. And it is a shame on the human race that Black people have been treated as anything other than valued and equal.

It is our hope that these protests will lead to meaningful change in this world. We are committed to supporting that change in whatever way we can.
