I suggest everyone read this thread on police brutality in the uk because whilst brits love to pretend that they live in a racism free utopia the reality is completely different.

[la-petite-feministe]

Black Lives Matter is held to such a ridiculously high standard. If anyone who is REMOTELY associated with BLM commits an act of violence, white people use it as an excuse to smear the name of the entire movement.

Cops can murder unarmed Black people and many white folks still jump to defend the police force.

This is racism. This is white supremacy culture.

[soritesparadox]

Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.

Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.

You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.

[telltaletypist]

we are seeing the narrative shift. they are trying to co-opt and sanitize the movement by separating the "legitimate" peaceful protests from the "ilegitimate" riots. don't buy into it. the riots are a legitimate expression of community rage and pain. they want peaceful protests without the threat of riots behind them because those are easy to crush, ignore, or placate with meaningless reforms. the movement needs to be threatening to the established order for meaningful change to be possible.

[telltaletypist]

i want to make it clear since a couple of people brought it up that i obviously don't condone edgy white larpers starting shit for no reason. but they don't invalidate rioting as a legitimate tactic for resistence. the problem with what they are doing is not in the destruction of property but in the conscious ignoring of the will of the community.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF WHAT THE HONG KONG PROTESTORS DID/WORE! THIS IS SERIOUS. THEY ARE AIMING FOR THE FACE.

[clonepa2]

WHITE PEOPLE REBLOG THIS ONE:

when you are in public with your black friend/friends DO NOT make jokes, or loud jokes about crime. do not yell at people when you are walking down the street, do not make jokes about robbing or stealing. YOU might be able to make those jokes by yourself, but when you are in presence of a black person, the effects can be DIRE.  

[gothgfs]

pride month starts tomorrow, but don’t let that distract from continuing to protest and donate in support of black lives matter. here are some black lgbt funds to donate to if you are able:

center for black equity

homeless black trans woman fund

miss major’s monthly fundraising circle

pay black trans women

marsha p johnson institute

google doc full of organizations and funds

also, i know many pride events have been cancelled due to covid-19, but if you are going in public to protest or to another event, please be careful and wear a mask. covid is still going on through all this

[wildflowerveins]

you can’t read a few text posts on tumblr and reblog a couple pictures of black lives matters and think you’re not racist. racism is a deeply engrained part of our culture - sometimes it’s not even conscious. you have to constantly question yourself. it’s pretty hard to unlearn 400+ years of institutional racism and in order for us to properly dismantle systems of injustice, we have to stop pretending we all aren’t part of the problem.

hey! do you have any sources for the black-owned business being damaged that you mentioned?? i would really like to spread awareness about them and donate to help them out if possible!

ofc! not all of these are black owned, but all are poc and small local businesses.

scores sports bar, owned by black firefighter kb balla, was burned down. his wife is a member of the sounds of blackness singing group. they have four children. you can donate here.

ghandi mahal burned down as well. owner ruhel islam’s statement was, “let my building burn. justice needs to be served, put those officers in jail.” however he is still left with immense financial burdens. you can donate here.

holy trinity lutherin church opened their doors to act as medics for protestors, most of whom came in for tear gas related injuries. you can donate here.

jose tamay’s local and immigrant owned business was destroyed, just weeks after being destroyed again in an incident unrelated to the riots. you can donate here.

e&l supermarket and deli, owned by adil albosaad, was damaged and looted. you can donate here.

midori’s floating world cafe is a japanese owned resturaunt which was destroyed. they also appreciate what the riots are representing, but again, are faced with financial and timely damages to rectify. you can donate here.

and i'm sure there are much more, but those are some i found really quickly!! i will be donating to all of them within this next week.
