Ellen DeGeneres is using her platform to speak out against injustice amid ongoing worldwide protests following the death of George Floyd. The talk show host took to social media with an emotional message for her followers on Monday.
"I have been posting my thoughts and my stance on this but I haven't spoken directly because I don't know what to say," DeGeneres admitted in her video. "I am so sad and I am so angry, and I know I'm not going to say the right thing...I know that there are going to be a lot of people who are gonna be in disagreement with what I say, but I have a platform and I have a voice and I have always stood for equality."
"I have always wanted to be the voice for people who feel like they don't have a voice, because I know what that feels like," she continued. "I'm just so sorry that it's come to this. I really don't know what to say other than this has gone on way, way, way, way too long."
