Justice Smith, who represents ‘Franklin Webb’ in the movie ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’, attended the ‘Black Lives Matter’ protest in New Orleans with her boyfriend Nicholas Ashe, and shared those moments on his Instagram page with an attention-grabbing caption.
‘All the Bright Places’ star uploaded photos of him and his boyfriend attending the protest and captioned them as follows:
“@nckash and I protested today in New Orleans. We chanted ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’ ‘Black Queer Lives Matter’ ‘All Black Lives Matter’. As a black queer man myself, I was disappointed to see certain people eager to say Black Lives Matter, but hold their tongue when Trans/Queer was added. I want to reiterate this sentiment: if your revolution does not include Black Queer voices, it is anti-black.”
While supporting the queer black lives, Smith continued by criticizing the double standards when it comes to the LGBTQ lives :
“…It is in our conditioning to get as close to whiteness, straightness, maleness as we can because that’s where the power is. And if we appeal to it, maybe it’ll give us a slice. But the revolution is not about appeal. It is about demanding what should have been given to us from the beginning. What should have been given to black, queer, and trans individuals from the beginning. Which is the right to exist.”
The 24-year-old actor concluded his words by pointing out the positive vibes and love:
“There is so much tragedy on the timeline these last couple of days so I added some photos of me and Nic to show some #blackboyjoy #blacklove #blackqueerlove ❤️💛💚💙💜”
