Sophia and her creative partner Lauren E. Butler, under their production company: The Tadpoles, produced another sketch comedy video in quarantine, this time about unemployment, which 40 million other Americans can relate to!
I am not black and I believe that #BlackLivesMatter. I stand with you.
This video is 8 minutes and 46 seconds long to remind you of the last moments of George Floyd’s life, imprisoned by a system that doesn’t value black women disappearing and the genocide of black men is the SAME system that failed (or never tried) to properly warn 100,000 Americans about COVID-19 who are now dead is the SAME system that was founded by slave-owners, who incorrectly wrote “all men are created equal”, is the SAME system that allows rapists to get away is the SAME system that doesn’t pay women the same as men. I support the REVOLUTION to annihilate this system that pins us against us against each other. We need to UNITE as one human race and LOVE each other. WE NEED PEACE. We need to vote and make our voice heard, NOT THROUGH VIOLENCE. We need to CHANGE this system and the very laws that apply only to certain Americans🗽
