just posted this on Instagram bc like 80% of my followers are white, already 1 person replied excusing herself as to why she can't post anything I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT

I get that social media feels passive and obviously if you say one thing and behave a completely different way then that's wrong but showing other white people where you stand is extremely important. don't let racists think they have a pass with you. don't stay silent. PLEASE

I'm judging every white person posting their regular aesthetic pics right now ignoring the situation. social media is not real life but it is a tool that amplifies what we want to show you the world. what is your SILENCE showing?

if you're not posting at all tbh I probably won't notice because I follow too many people but the ones who are actively posting as if nothing is happening are cowards. you want attention for yourself more than you want justice. ok

I especially mean this for people who know you in real life and respect you as a family member, friend, fellow white person. it is an uphill battle for poc to change someone's view who's already bigoted against them. however coming from their beloved niece/cousin you have power

message me if you want to discuss, my earlier posts in this thread probably came off angrier than I meant to. I have a lot of experience w these convos and am glad to help, if that fear is the reason why you don't want to post.
