as a non Black person, i don’t want to drown Black voices out; i also don’t always think I have much to add to the conversation, especially since i can’t relate or understand the violence and racism that systematically oppressesthe Black community. this is why i’ve been
retweeting as much as i can and helping to spread the voices of the Black community rather than putting my own two cents into the conversation (because my own opinions line up with the BLM movement so i’ve been trying to retweet and spread their message as best i can).
Outside of social media i have also been spreading the message, fighting those around me who aren’t understanding, and standing up for those who’ve been silenced. I just want you guys to know i might not be black but i hear you, i see you, i’m fighting for you,
and i’m mourning with you. i’m also going to link some really great threads on ways you can help/ways to educate yourself.
