Keke Palmer has been using her platform to support the Black Lives Matter movement and share valuable information about steps to get reform.
Strahan, Sara, & Keke co-host took to Instagram to share what many of us was thinking about the upcoming Presidential election. “I don’t like any of the candidates. Let me pose this question…If you are on an island and you are starving and you have a few great options for food…are you going to choose the best out of the few “okay” options you have, the one that aligns the most with your appetite, or are you going to starve to death and die? Up to you, just asking.”
The post was accompanied with a caption that read, “I once thought voting was useless. But now I’m STARVING STARVING. ITS A FAMINE IN THIS B*TCH…”
The child star isn’t just talking the talking, she’s also walking the walk. Keke Palmer went viral during a peaceful protest in Los Angeles and she spoke to some of the National Guards who were present under President Donald Trump’s order. “You have a president talking about the Second Amendment as a use for people to come out here and use firearms against the people protesting. We have a president that’s trying to incite a race war, and when the borders are closed. We can’t leave. You have people in here that need your help.”
The guards opted to kneel instead of marching and she flat out said, “That’s not enough.”
The actress and singer published an op-ed piece and spoke about her experience with the National Guard and explained that authorities kneeling is a mockery because that’s what killed George Floyd. “Now we see police officers kneeling and then, moments later, attacking peaceful protesters. At this point, the kneeling has no meaning.”
