A serious yet familiar tragedy struck a nerve in the heart of American citizens and the black community as George Floyd was murdered for public display by a poison that we cannot seem to cure. While much blame is to be put on the police, an even greater blame should be held by our system, a system that rewards cops for murder fueled by systematic oppression and racism/bigotry. This episode was inspired by recent revolutions sprouting across the world and our fallen brothers and sisters getting their appropriate honor and recognition on a global scale. While this topic can and should be discussed with enough dialog to fill libraries, we decided to share our personal stories from protesting, personal viewpoints, and encounters with racism and oppression from a racist system. We hope we can reach the ears and hearts of those who find themselves sitting on the fence or stuck in the middle through telling these personal stories. We hope to spark heavily needed conversation within communities, homes, friend groups, even social media. But most importantly we hope this use of our platform continues to keep a spark alive in anyone who comes across this 2 hours and something minutes. The fight to dethrone a tyrant is a long one, and to rewrite a system to benefit each and every human life *but keep in mind the fight right now is for Black Lives* may take even longer. Stay vigilant, look out for yourself and those around you, and do not let up this pressure. You'll always have 4 bored 20 something year old's in your corner to back you up.
