“They [the rubber bullets] were fired at peoples’ faces during peaceful moments of the demonstration. If you’re a follower of mine who ‘stays out of it’ but you’re mad I have a little bruise for doing nothing unlawful, then consider you ARE on our side. Because the reality of what happens to black folks every day is worse than my bruise. So get involved. Sign. Donate. Share links. Do something,” Halsey urged her followers to act.

According to celebrity expert Mike, it's no surprise that stars have joined the protests. "It’s not surprising that so many stars are joining the protests demanding justice for George Floyd. Even if they’re not there in person, they’re expressing their support on social media," Mike told Bored Panda.

"They see the inequalities, the injustice, and the racism just like the rest of us. They are sick and tired of it too, just like the rest of us."

Mike believes that the stars' support can lead to change. "When you’ve got someone like Taylor Swift, with her massive fan base and who doesn’t usually get involved in politics, tweeting about voting out the current president who stokes division, people will pay attention."

He also stated that in his opinion, more celebrities are likely to join, even if they might get injured like Halsey. "They are there to protest peacefully though, not get caught up in skirmishes with the police. They need to set an example of peaceful protest, and know that. Most celebrities would avoid any situation that is escalating and could lead to violence."

According to Mike, the US is more fractured than ever and there is an absence of leadership. "We have a president that sows division as part of a campaign strategy. He has never tried to unite the country," he said.

"But people are sick and tired of being sick and tired, and they are demanding change. Think about it—a pandemic, three months of isolation, massive unemployment, an economy in shambles, and now this. Even the president’s supporters are sick and tired of it. I firmly believe change is coming, and the country can be brought back together with the right leadership and reforms with our justice and legal systems. We’ve always survived, and will do so again," Mike stated.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé said in a video that "we need justice for George Floyd.” The star added: “We're broken, and we're disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain. I'm not only speaking to people of color. If you're white, black, brown, or anything in between, I'm sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in America right now. No more senseless killings of human beings."

Lady Gaga also shared her thoughts about the situation. She said that she is outraged about Floyd’s death, claimed that “everyday people in America are racist,” and said that she wants to contribute to a solution, not to more violence.

At least 40 US cities have imposed curfews while the National Guard has been activated in 15 states and Washington DC after some of the protests turned violent. Four police officers involved in Floyd’s death have been fired.

One of them, Derek Chauvin, who was filmed with his knee on Floyd’s neck, has been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. He will appear in court on Monday. Many protestors believe that Chauvin’s charge isn’t harsh enough and also want the other police officers to be charged.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Normally I can understand a lot of different point of views but I never understood racism. When and how do these people adopt this kind of thinking? Why do people think that in the first place? History shows how much suffering it brings and still people adapt it again and again.

My father was racist. I doubt he could have explained why he thought that way and I suspect it was nothing more than how he was brought up - no thinking required (or attempted). False sense of superiority which is probably just as often a fear of difference. That's my best guess though - hard to explain something you can't get your head around.

A lot of people are raised in a household where racism is taught and some of them don't know how to break away from those thought processes. I, for one, was raised in a household where we were taught to love all people regardless of anything.

It starts with little things, an inappropriate saying here, a stupid joke there, now and then a lousy pun...when no one steps in and says "Cut the c**p, this is racism and not funny" it becomes normal for some people

easiest answer I've found Patrick (having been raised amongst bigotry of many kinds): laziness. It's easier to simply repeat the bigotry they were taught, than to critically think about things. It's easier to blame someone else for what makes them unhappy, than to take responsibility for it. That's it really: laziness. I've tried to logically discuss these things with the bigots in my family, and they get really mad when ANY kind of effort (in thought or action) is required of them. Their unemployment isn't becasue they never apply for jobs, or turn up for interviews.... it's (demographic's) fault!! Their lack of education isn't due to their laziness, refusal to study and unwillingness to work while studying to pay their own way through.... it's (demographic's) fault!! Their lack of promotion at work isn't because they were underqualified & inexperienced.... (demographic) only got it because they were part of that demographic and "had to" be given the job. Laziness.

Racism is as old as history itself. It doesn't apply just to black people. Racism lives on because it is taught in the home. I have never been racist because I wasn't taught to be. "People" do not adopt it again and again. It will continue until young people are taught to be color-blind in their home. Racists are their own worst enemy.

For some it's just that something bad happened to them because of someone of another skincolor or religion. Or because of the neighborhood they live in. Look at bulldogs. Why are people afraid of them? A few incidents. Even most of them are probably ok.

It's the combination of the tendency to judge strangers by their look and the tendency to bring rushed conclusions combined with stubbornness. Looks are deceiving, it's a very well known proverb, but way too many people forget or think they're above common wisdom.

If they promote to their followers that this matters, then I'm fine with it. Many do seem to be really protesting. And even though I don't know many of them, if they help spread the word, it's a positive thing. It's the sheeple that need convincing, not the ones that took a stand all by their own thinking.
