There's many things that disabled people become resigned to.
We live in a world designed by and for non disabled.
In 2020 the world watched George Floyd take his last
struggling breath in what clearly was a racially systemic action. Whilst we
lived, we watched the reality of a negative continued action; this time it sent
a ripple of "No more" across the world.
What can only be seen as a revival against oppression George
Floyd's death, discrimination and the #BlackLivesMatter movement affected
millions of people worldwide. Visibly and emotionally impacting a generation to
the core.
As a white man, I will never fully understand what being
faced with racism is like. Yet, I will listen fully to those affected by it.
It is for that very reason that I write. I need to speak up
with how I'm affected by ableism around me.
