Keke Palmer shared some wisdom about why people sometimes turn to violence when it comes to protesting against police brutality and oppression.
The Scream Queens star and talk show host took to Instagram TV on Sunday and shared a passage from her personal writings, entitled “Sharing My Thoughts.” “Writing down how I feel really helps me gather my thoughts. What are y’all feeling like?” her caption wrote.

Keke also took the liberty to share her thoughts about the violence against protesters on Twitter. While Palmer is an advocate for pacifism and peaceful protests, she also understands why some people resort to aggressive motives in the name of justice. Those motives are cries for help due to exhaustion from being treated unfairly.
This is the thing. The underlying message has been “You don’t matter. Your opinion doesn’t matter. Your LIFE doesn’t matter.” and that has been communicated through the systematic bondage AND the outright VIOLENT crimes and dismissal of black lives.

You silence people for so long, till the point that all they have for you is to catch these hands.
