Telling black folks you follow on here how sorry you are that the world isn't fair and how it shouldn't be this way accomplishes NOTHING. Guess what? We know that already. Go be useful, donate to the #MinnesotaFreedomFund
Go find black creators to support either by retweeting (WITHOUT commentary) buy them a ko-fi, back their kickstarters or drop a twitch sub to help them out next month.
But shelve this white guilt, OMG I AM SO SORRY reply-all to black folks talking about their pain on here. That is creating emotional labor for us when we are already grieving. Stop asking us, what can I do? Google is Free-99.
Lastly, drop the whataboutism and (IRRELEVANT FACTS HERE) it is not useful. It is about as useful as apologies for being white, or male, or straight. Or wanting to be told you are an ally. We ain't got time for it.
You wanna be mad at this thread? The unfollow/block/mute is easy to find. Go find someone who's gonna hold your hand if that's what you're looking for cause it ain't gonna found here.
You can follow @cypheroftyr.
