In Minneapolis, the city where George Floyd was killed by police less than one year ago, a member of Black Lives Matter proclaimed, “They gonna let us burn this whole motherf**ker to the ground before they give us some systemic change”. He also urged white liberals to “keep caring”.

The need for systemic change was a common message among the protestors. “We need to be going way beyond voting at this point”, one woman said. “We need to be coming out here every single day if that’s what it takes. If we don’t change laws, and we don’t attack this system from every single f**king angle we can, we will be here again”.

“Black Lives Matter isn’t a trend; it’s a movement”, said another protestor, “We’re not gonna stop just because we got one conviction”. She went on to say that “We are never going to be satisfied”, claiming that what has happened, and continues to happen to Black Americans is akin to “genocide”.
