Hey. I just want to thank you. For supporting black people and BLM and showing your solidarity. It means so much to me that you made it clear where you stand, even though this is mostly a fanfic/fandom blog. I'm one of Your Anons (tm) but I'm not going to say who I am. Just know that I am black and it means so much to know that you're an ally. I've been seening the injustices going on elsewhere in the world, from PR to Brazil to the Phillipines...we all must stand together and I am to do that.
Hello, Anon! I want to let you know that you do not need to thank me at all. I haven’t done a lot here on this platform, but I promise you that I am doing my best to make your people’s voices loud and clear on my other social media platforms! I can’t do a lot of donating, but I’m streaming videos, signing petitions, and spreading the news as much as I can.
It truly has been a painful week for you all as you still continue to fight against the oppression that has lasted for hundreds of years. I have also noticed what has been going on in other places of the world, and it just continues to add onto the stress of everybody else. I wish we could do so much more for you guys and for them. I wish there was an easy way out.
At first, I called this a political problem, but it so obvious that it is a humanitarian issue and I regret my initial thoughts. I personally have never experienced racism myself (I live in a very diverse city in Canada), but I know that it still happens, and I’m ashamed to say that only until now, I’ve always been quiet about it for fear of the responses of my peers.
I am very lucky to have the privilege of the Law actually protecting me, and it breaks my heart to see how many lives have been risked or lost before, during, and even after these protests because those who are orchestrating the Law are against them.
I am also hoping to shed light to my irl friends about what’s going on in the other parts of the world, especially in the Philippines. I have family and two very important online friends there that will be affected by the bill they just passed, and I personally want to thank you for even mentioning it.
The world needs help, and I believe our generation will be the ones to give it. Just know, Anon, that I love you very much. I don’t know who you are at all, but I love you and I wish for you and your family’s safety. Take care of yourself.
Thank you for being so strong.
