Be Heard - Black Lives Matter

Today is June 19th, a day of growing importance in the United States. It is recognized here as Juneteenth, or Freedom Day. On this date, in 1865, slaves in Texas celebrated as they were told for the first time that they were free, and slavery was no longer permitted. We at Bungie would like to take this opportunity to celebrate Juneteenth with you, no matter where you are around the world. During an event earlier this month, we spent 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence to honor the death of George Floyd, and promised that we would commit more time, energy, and money towards the fight against systemic racism. We invite you to join us in that battle by showing your support and making your voices heard. Today we’re announcing the Be Heard Collectible Pin & Emblem. All profits from the sales of the Be Heard Collectible Pin & Emblem will benefit the [url=http://eji.org/]Equal Justice Initiative (eji.org)[/url]. Pre-orders will become available on the [url=https://bungiestore.com/?_ga=2.195271913.413763952.1592256037-1256161908.1589479140]Bungie Store[/url] starting on Tuesday, June 23, 2020. The exclusive Destiny 2 "Be Heard" emblem will be emailed to you within 24 hours after your order is placed.

And while the real challenges that Black people face are not as easily vanquished as the enemies in our game, we look forward to seeing Guardians come together in this fight as well. As we said before, we are committed to standing up for our Black community; including our developers, fans, and neighbors. Together, we intend to replace injustice with equality wherever we see it. So eyes up Guardians, there's work to do. [b]BLACK LIVES MATTER.[/b]

    I’ve made quite a few comments on this page but after awhile I came to a large realization and I’m going to break It down. Now In the past year we’ve seen drastic attempts to end racism but it’s actually done the opposite, don’t believe me? Have you watched the cartoon Soul? In the film the protagonist is trying to discover what’s happening and there’s this point where he says to his companion “you sound like a middle aged white lady” is this stopping racism? Now you see it everywhere, books, articles, podcasts etc. Didn’t Morgan Freeman say that racism truly ends when we stop categorizing each other by the color of our skin. Allow me to elaborate it for you, a lot of people are arguing that whites opinions and discoveries are irrelevant because of they’re “privilege” which will be brought up further in the discussion. First, why does it matter that these opinionated activists are white? Why does the melon in level matter more then the maret of they’re ideas? Was it not Martin Luther King jr who said “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of they’re skin but by the content of they’re character” for as much as you people like to accuse others for being racist you sure do judge others by they’re race a lot, oh but it’s not racist when you do it because of power struggle or some meddle generic Bull-blam- right? As weather or not the prejudice someone is being subjected to is institutionalized makes any difference to you when it happens right? Screw off, racism is racism regardless of who’s doing it to whom. Calling it something other then racism doesn’t change the fact that it is racist and anyone who says otherwise are racists. This mentality that only certain people can be racist tinges on the categorization of people based on they’re enthnisity and described attributes to them such as “privilege” based on those racial categories, you HAVE to judge people by they’re race to make this argument work, you HAVE to make generalizations and assumptions on they’re race in order to make those judgements so you HAVE to be racist to make this argument. How do you not see the problem with this? How do you not see the problem of putting others race before the marets of they’re argument and categorizing people to a higherarchy and consideration based on they’re race. How do you expect to fight racism with racism?? Your exploiting racism and you don’t even know you are, so much for fighting for equality and social justice.
