#BLM IS NOT A TREND ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿.
.
👊🏾Sure, it’s easy to post a black square or share an inspirational quote on your Instagram story, but too many people are dying by the hands of systemic racism for you to be lazy. We can’t let people off the hook for accompanying one post with a hashtag.
.
👊🏿A common denominator of white guilt in times like these are any social media posts that begin with “I’ve been thinking a lot about…” or “I’ve been trying to process…” but you’ve had enough time to think–– you need to act.
.
👊🏽 Saying “Black people, I see you…” doesn’t actually help them. Here’s what does:
.
👩🏼🎓 Educate yourself - watch documentaries, read books.
👂🏼 Ask questions and listen to understand - stop stereotyping and assumptions. Stop being afraid to know the truth.
🎤 Speak out - sign petitions, speak to your friends and family. VOTE! Silence is not an option.
