Attended the #BLMKansai Peace March today (well now yesterday since it's past 4am). It was amazing, cathartic, powerful. I've posted some videos to my IG (@/miss_suju) if anyone wants to check them out, but I'll make a post later once I can coherently express my thoughts.✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾🇯🇵

こんな事なら会社の急なシフト変更に渋々応じなきゃよかった。 唯一自分を変に納得させて #モーニングショー #BLMKansai の事をやるのかもと期待してたけど、なさそう…残念。 モーニングショーに愚痴っても仕方ないんだけど、玉川さんに言わせれば人権軽視の日本では差別はマスじゃないんだろうな。

Japan is not a secluded island nation. Black Lives Matter is global. Black people are in Japan making waves. Japan has housed me since I was 18 years old. My Black friends have lived there for over a decade. For us, by us. 2,000 people. I’m still lowkey crying pic.twitter.com/rzSl1PmFjq

「なんで大阪でアメリカの人種差別に反対？」とだれでも思う。 だけど、呼びかけたのは大阪に住んでいるアフリカ系アメリカ人の人たち。日本の人たちはその人たちを守るために集まった。それは美しい姿だった。 #blmkansaimarch

1/ I will be honest, I was a bit scared to go to #blmkansaimarch. Though, I went anyways. Although no sign in hand, I decided to muster up some courage to attend the walk. As we marched, my courage grew within each step. My participation is minuscule to what other brave

2/ individuals are doing everyday. I've lived in fear because of my skin. That's something I cannot control. I was born this way. But as I walked peacefully, on that sunny Sunday in Osaka, something blossomed within me. I've allowed others to dictate me, and my emotions. I

3/ allowed them the power to instill fear within me. But not anymore. I'm done being afraid. My people are constantly dying and living in fear. During the final chant, I lifted my fist up high and finally shouted. #BlackLivesMatter

4/ To those who organized this event: you've provided people the chance to shout in unison on a tiny island thousands of miles away from home. Some Americans cannot march with their families at home, but was given a chance to march today. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Our friend, the Ry-cist came to watch. No sign of a German Shepherd, though. 残念。Just a Trump hat and a Confederate flag shirt. He taunted from afar, but he was ignored. The police + organizers kept everyone in 4 single file lines with barriers so no one outside could get in. pic.twitter.com/Flu4pp29Mr

This march was overall more quiet. Our presence spoke for us. We only chanted when the organizers prompted them. No profanities (lots of children were present) + everyone wore white for peace. 🕊️ Chants included: "BLACK LIVES MATTER" "I CAN'T BREATHE" "NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE" pic.twitter.com/I6RYXU66P3

@sincerelynyny_ @blmkansai Glad you like it, Nyasha! This march was so uplifting and healing. Everyone was incredibly kind. I also kept seeing people give masks, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and other things to eachother. It was the epitome of solidarity and unity. More marches should be like this one.
