"I feel sick to my stomach," the singer wrote in a statement on Instagram this weekend. "Hearing the sound of his voice crying for help is bone chilling and it f--king breaks my heart I'm so sorry this injustice keeps happening... As a white person, I not only recognize that this is a problem but that I am part of the problem. It's time for ALL humans to demand change. This needs to be EVERYONES fight. We need to start to really listen to & help amplify black voices. To make their struggles known and to reject racism."
"You can not fight hate with hate, And I'm tired of being angry.....," the singer said on Instagram. "I just don't get it."
"I have spent the last 24 hours just trying to process this all," the singer wrote on Instagram. "Nothing anyone says can take back what has happened. But we can and must all make sure to take action. Too many black lives have been taken from us for far too long. They deserve better. They deserve to be heard. We all need to do better and not sit in silence as this injustice continues. #blacklivesmatter #justiceforgeorgefloyd #icantbreathe."
"THIS MUST STOP," Bieber wrote on social media. "This makes me absolutely sick. This makes me angry this man DIED. This makes me sad. Racism is evil We need to use our voice! Please people. I'm sorry GEORGE FLOYD."
"You deserved your breath, your dignity, your life," the director expressed on Twitter. "Not to die in the street, murdered by a white cop's knee on your neck. You deserve our tears, our prayers, our rage, our action. We must act - for you - and for all of those were no cameras are present. We must. #GeorgeFloyd."
"We have to address hundreds of years of oppression of black people," the singer wrote in the lengthy Instagram statement slamming the All Lives Matter movement and calling out white privilege. "The slogan of #BlackLivesMatter does not mean other lives don't. It's calling attention to the fact that society clearly thinks black lives don't f-cking matter. And they f-cking do. It means Black. Lives. F-cking. Matter. Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. Say it again. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd."
"I am speaking solely to white people. Especially the loud ones—bc I hear you. And most of all, to myself," the actor wrote on Instagram. "We can't *not* have internalized the racism of our society. Are there other white people we deem "the problem"? I think, the rest of the human family cannot endure our impatience with each other any longer. We have to listen, learn and teach each other. This doesn't mean social change amounts to emotional work, but it does start there when you wake up, and end there when you go to sleep. Everyday. This is part of what sustains constructive, lasting social change. #justiceforgeorgefloyd #blacklivesmatter."
"My heart can't take it, seeing what's happened to #GeorgeFloyd," the singer tweeted. "This is eerily similar to the death of #EricGarner. There has to be a stopping point in the process of arresting someone. It's all senseless."
"For years, with every horrific murder of an innocent black man, woman, or child, I have always tried to find the right words to express my condolences and outrage, but the privilege I am afforded by the color of my skin has often left me feeling like this is not a fight that I can truly take on my own. Not today, not anymore," the E! reality star wrote on social media.
"Woke up this morning in tears feeling defeated," the singer shared on Instagram. "Feeling the sadness in the air from all my brothers and sisters fighting for justice, fighting to be heard, fighting for our lives. It's overbearing that yet again we had to see one of us die at the hands of police brutality/racism. Watching this play out, I'm scared that we will yet again be disappointed and praying that these cops will get EXACTLY what they deserve. This has to end and we will be seen and HEARD."
"Rest in Peace #GeorgeFloyd. this has got to stop. it's hard to watch a video so foul. It's hard to think that this is still happening," the model began her in-depth post on Instagram. "But it is reality. And These police officer need to be accountable to the maximum degree for their obviously disgusting and horrific actions. I feel so sick, sad and sorry for George Floyd and his family. There is nothing anybody could say to me that makes this encounter even remotely ok," she continued. "He was a peace activist and a man of respect and promise. There is no reason for anyone to be handled like that especially someone that is so unaggressive. Please spread this message."
"Enraged. Sickened. Heartbroken. But never surprised. This happens way too often - and the videos that go viral are not isolated events," the model wrote on Instagram. "It seems that only when caught on camera are bigots & MURDERERS even getting "investigated" or fired .. unfortunately, the only way things will start changing is if all these racist, ignorant, monsters (badge &/or not) have to face the consequences- behind bars. && it's not only an issue with black men being killed by cops ... it's an issue every time we see them being treated, in even non-violent situations, VERY CLEARLY differently than many very-high-risk incidents involving white men; it's an issue that the President is making dangerous public statements about enforcing the shooting of protesters -rightfully angered by another UNNEEDED KILLING of another black person & DEMANDING JUSTICE WHERE IT IS 100% NEEDED..."
"Why?!!!!!!! My heart hurts every time I read the news! When will this stop?? Please help our country regain its humanity! We are all humans who deserve to be protected," the actress wrote on social media. "Not killed. Please don't write any stupid comments. If you are not outraged by this, then unfollow me."
"#blacklivesmatter #policebrutality I'm scanning through the comments on this post and am appalled by the handful of ignorant, right wing, tone deaf comments that snowball into negative arguments," the American Idol alum shared on Instagram. "It's one thing to have an opinion, but there are a few of you that are no longer welcome on my feed. To be clear: I'm not supporting violence and destruction i am supporting the right to be enraged... to refuse to bow down. When it comes to matters of human rights, I refuse to support any opposition. Anyone that responds to BLACK LIVES MATTER w "All lives matter" is an asshole. You should know why that's problematic by now. If you don't, quit looking at my posts and educate yourself."
"This is not okay. And it will not stop until everyone does their part. Especially white people. I said it recently and I'll say it again, do not let your discomfort surrounding social issues prevent you from speaking up for those IN DANGER. And reality is, until this STOPS COMPLETELY - THE BLACK COMMUNITY WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE IN DANGER," the pop star wrote on social media. "DO YOUR PART. THIS INVOLVES YOU TOO. #GeorgeFloyd, I hope you RIP because it isn't fair so many didn't do their part to ensure you lived in peace."
"I made a promise to a friend of mine this week that I would not be silent anymore, that I would stand in solidarity with my voice and my actions, not just my heart. That's not just a promise to him," the actress expressed. "This burden is too much for black people to bear alone anymore. I am beyond ashamed that they have had to for so long." She added, "I'm about to bring a child into this world, and this isn't the world I want him to know."
"It's time for a change...a change in our world," the country singer wrote on Instagram. "I just had a very open and honest talk with @mickeyguyton and we are going to record an episode tonight for it to air tomorrow because everyone needs to hear our convo we just had.. if you have questions you want to know please write in comments and we can have that conversation. Darkness cannot drive out darkness..only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate....only love can do that" -Martin Luther King."
