Black Lives MatterProjekt des Englischunterrichts der 8. Klassen
Hello world, stop racism,
This isn’t good for anyone!
George Floyd died because he wasn’t white,
All people were sad that night,
No matter if we are black or white,
Everyone has rights!
Beatrix, 8e
The reason why we’re here is not a good one but we need to be here to take a stand. Donald Trump said we needed to “Make America Great Again”. Mexican lives don’t matter? Black lives don’t matter? I think he wants to make America white again. Like Martin Luther King said: “I have a dream”. We have a dream. We could live together in harmony and peace if we tried, and we should try! Let’s not make America great again. Let’s make it peaceful again! Privilege, that word should have a new meaning for all of us today. We can’t deny that we’re not treated differently because of our skin colour. We will be united in our common interests, and we will once again be fighting for our freedom, and against tyranny and racism. We’re fighting for our right to live and exist. It doesn’t matter which skin colour we have. And should we win, this glorious day will be known as our great day of rights for everyone and the world will declare it in one voice.
Let’s put it in the words of President Whitmore from the movie Independence Day: “We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive.”
Thank you for listening.
