¿Qué le pasa a Selena Gómez? “Hay un dolor profundo”

Selena Gómez desde hace un tiempo se muestra muy comprometida con las causas sociales y por ese motivo es que utiliza su cuenta de Instagram para hacer un extenso descargo sobre lo que está ocurriendo con el racismo. “Quiero agradecer a todas las personas increíbles que se tomaron el tiempo para hablarnos directamente. Estoy impresionado con su conocimiento, entusiasmo por enseñar y compromiso para asegurar que las voces negras no sean silenciadas. Educarnos a nosotros mismos es el primer paso si esperamos progresar para poner fin al racismo sistémico. Por mucho que uno quiera creer que las cosas han mejorado, no podemos negar más que no lo han hecho”, empezó diciendo.

I want to thank all of the amazing people that took the time to speak to us directly. I am blown away with your knowledge, eagerness to teach and commitment to ensuring Black voices are not silenced. Educating ourselves is the first step if we hope to make any progress in bringing an end to systemic racism. As much as one might want to believe things have gotten better we cannot deny any longer that they have not. We need to acknowledge that social, political and economic discrimination against Black communities continues to exist. There is a deep pain that needs to be healed. Unless this is recognized history will continue to repeat itself over and over. ?? ?Tomorrow is Juneteenth which commemorates the day slaves in Texas were told they were free on June 19th 1865. To learn more of the history and the movement to make it a national holiday read The article in my bio. Please take the day to have conversations with your family and friends about the importance of Black Lives Matter and how we all need to join together to ensure equality and justice and then continue these conversations every day!? ??Everyone needs to have their voices heard and we can do that by VOTING! We will not let voter suppression stop us! Check out @whenweallvote to get registered and find other helpful resources.? ??It’s not lost on me how fortunate I am to have this platform and appreciate you all for taking the time to watch, listen and take in the powerful messages and information we’ve been provided over the last two weeks by some of the most inspiring people I’ve come across in my life. If you missed any of these incredible IG stories they are all saved in my Story Highlights under #BLM and #BLM2. This is just the beginning and we will continue to hear from other Black voices and as well as other marginalized communities I am committed to doing the work and I hope you join me.

Luego siguió con su texto y la cantante hizo un llamado a la reflexión: “Necesitamos reconocer que la discriminación social, política y económica contra las comunidades negras continúa existiendo. Hay un dolor profundo que necesita ser curado. A menos que se reconozca esto, la historia continuará repitiéndose una y otra vez. Mañana es el diecinueve de junio, que conmemora el día en que a los esclavos en Texas se les dijo que eran libres el 19 de junio de 1865. Tómese el día para conversar con su familia y amigos sobre la importancia de Black Lives Matter y sobre cómo todos debemos unirnos para garantizar la igualdad y la justicia y luego continuar estas conversaciones todos los días!¡Todos necesitan que se escuchen sus voces y podemos hacerlo VOTANDO!

La reconocida artista finalizó diciendo: “Esto es solo el comienzo y seguiremos escuchando de otras voces negras y de otras comunidades marginadas. Estoy comprometido a hacer el trabajo y espero que se unan a mí”. Los seguidores de Selena Gómez agradecieron la pasión con la que viene defendiendo la causa y la llenaron de elogios.
