Well, after some time away from the writing, I want to write about Black people again. I want to be the voice of Black people again. I want to prove to some that Black lives matter, not more money!

Of course, I was not far from this space during this time either, but many preoccupations prevented me from writing. In this story, I want to answer the question of why only we Black people can help ourselves?

In my opinion, the answer to this question is very obvious. The answer is two words: white supremacy. If I want to explain more, I have to say: because as I have already written about it, racism is rooted in this land. Because Black people face racism, discrimination, and white supremacy every day from the morning they wake up until the night. This is why I emphasize: Only we Black people can help ourselves.

When the police brutally kill George Floyd while shouting I can’t breathe, this is where the role of racism becomes clear. We do NOT forget these three words uttered by George Floyd as his life was extinguished beneath the knee of a police officer! When the police kill Daunte Wright and other people of color, it means that white supremacy is rooted in this land.

Another point that we should not forget is that in this land, although Black people are discriminated against the most, they are not the only ones who face this problem, but immigrants, people of color and many others also face racism and violence. In other words, it seems that only white people have no special problem!

And finally, I want to repeat once again that we as Black writers and scholars must be the voice of all Black people and people of color around the world. We must write, protest and defend our rights against the suffering and oppression that is being perpetrated against us every day around the world.
