late Sunday night, wondering how to make sense of abhorrent incidents of racial injustice for his two sons, Karter and Kameron.
“How can I explain to my four-year-old and eight-year-old that being black in [America] comes with a chance you can be harmed or killed just because of the colour of your skin, the texture of your hair, the way you walk, anything they might want to say that makes you black,” Lowry wrote. “It’s sad because I can’t explain it. I will protect them until the day I die the best I can, but it’s going to be a time when I’m not there to take the fall for them so I’m trying to find a way to say just survive!!!! #blacklivesmatter”
Lowry’s message comes after Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, died last week after being pinned to the ground beneath the knee of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who has since been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Outrage over Floyd’s death, the latest in a long list of incidents of racial injustice in the United States, has sparked a widespread uprising of protests.
Thats a b.s statement lowry.
Raptors great use of your platform. I'm sorry we can't guarantee that racism doesn't happen in Canada. I hope we too will keep working on change esp with Indigenous and those of African heritage
Your comment brought tears to my eyes.
