Khloé Kardashian is checking her privilege. The death of George Floyd has spurred a number of celebrities to use their platform and speak out against racial injustice. In her May 31 message, which she shared to Instagram, Khloé had a lot to say.

"Over the last few days I've written and rewritten this so many times. Words feel empty, or somehow not enough, but I can't sit silently," the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star captioned her post.

"Like so many of you I am angry, heartbroken and disgusted by the murder of George Floyd," she began. "We have seen this too many times. Black people have been discriminated against, victimized and murdered for too long, and have shown superhuman resiliency in the face of constant adversity."

She continued, "It is incomprehensible to me that it's 2020 and people continue to restrict, stereotype, damage and oppress people of color, and that racism is a constant reality. It breaks my heart to think about parents having to teach their children how to stay alive."

"I continue to pray for equality for all, understanding and love," Khloé added. "I remain hopeful that together we can get help get justice for George and his family, and every black American who has been murdered, mistreated, abused and ignored."

She promised to continue to use her platform for change. "I will use that privilege to fight for you. I will not let George Floyd's name be forgotten. I will speak up and speak out against discrimination fearlessly and louder than ever before," KoKo expressed.

Khloé also asked her followers to speak up as well, urging them to protest, demonstrate, cry, scream, or shout. "Change MUST happen! Black Lives DO matter! We can, we must, and we will change the future," the reality star concluded.
