Someone came to me privately asking about spreading BLM content. Either on 1 platform or all platforms. I think this is important for all of you to know.
I think the worst, WORST, thing a non-Black person can do is learn to rationalize their laziness. No…the most DANGEROUS THING actually. I’ve said this before, but I’d rather a fucking asshole tell me that they won’t post about BLM because they support cops or whatever bs, than that “friendly” white girl who makes excuses why she can’t support Black lives.
Does looking at Black people being murdered get you a lil’ bit down? Imagine seeing yourself in those videos.
Do you want to keep with your theme and do some other bs somewhere else?
Guess what? I’m Black everywhere, all the time.
Every, EVERY, excuse is dripping with privilege and artificiality.
If someone says that they’re “doing the work” and they don’t have proof….don’t fucking have faith in that. I’ve talked to so many “friends” who say they are “researching” when I know for a fact they aren’t. How many of you reblogged my “How to be an ally” post and ACTUALLY have been working your way through it? If your friend isn’t using EVERY platform they have to help stop the ignorance that is KILLING people,
call them out or cut them out.
I BET you wouldn’t be hesitant if this were about lgbtqa+ issues.
Let me make this crystallll clear. If a non-Black person (yeah not just white) isn’t posting about BLM everywhere they can, isn’t supporting BLM every way they can, isn’t educating themselves every way they can, while saying “#Black lives matter”….THEY ARE NOT AN ALLY. You do NOT get point for being a good person when you say the fact: Black. Lives. Matter. Yes, now SHOW ME YOU BELIEVE THAT. For god sakes, stop rationalizing your friend’s laziness!!!! Or your own!!!
But if you hear someone say anything but “I disagree with the BLM movement” when answering why they aren’t posting/educating themselves. They are fake. If you say that, YOU ARE FAKE.
I don’t want you following me, or sucking up my energy if you aren’t actually going to make an effort to be a better person and support Black lives. Again, unfollow if you aren’t going to use the resources I provide.
This isn’t a safe haven for performative bitches. Go on some other blog where they post every once and awhile about BLM to remind you, because you have to be reminded, of the people being murdered in the street.
I bet they expect the lowest form of action from you there…a reblog.
And you loveee that. Don’t you? You get to pack Black pain away and pull it out when you reblog or repost something about BLM, then go lay on your couch, on your ass, watching a reality show instead of any of the other movies/tv shows I listed as resources.
No, not here. Not in my corner. You either own up to your fucking privilege, educate yourself, and spread the message far and wide, or you stop fucking USING ME to make you feel better about your ignorance.
WORDS ARE HOLLOW. ACTIONS MATTER.
