The protests across America are a product of outrage of injustices that Black Americans have faced over the course of history. The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have sparked a revolt of sorts with many demanding for change. Today, the music industry observed #BlackoutTuesday, though that quickly expanded past just music with everyone participating in the movement.
During this time, Donald Trump has created further division among Americans, even calling for "heavily armed military" to be deployed in the midst of the riots. Needless to say, despite his obsession with celebrity, he did not post anything for Blackout Tuesday, though no one expected him to. It wasn't shocking that no one else in his family posted a black square on their social media timeline with the exception fo his daughter, Tiffany. In a strange turn of events, she hit the 'Gram calling for justice for George Floyd along with a quote from Hellen Keller.
"Alone we can achieve so little; together we can achieve so much.”- Helen Keller #blackoutTuesday #justiceforgeorgefloyd," she captioned the post.
Strangely enough, around the same time she shared the post, her father tweeted, "NYC, CALL UP THE NATIONAL GUARD. The lowlifes and losers are ripping you apart. Act fast! Don’t make the same horrible and deadly mistake you made with the Nursing Homes!!!”
Though you can appreciate her sentiment, we hope that she speaks some sense into her father while she's at it.
