Tagging 10 people who won& #39;t break the #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> chain in an IG story comes from a good place but I didn& #39;t pass it along because it felt like a game to me, after I had just spent the entire day trying to hold myself together with everything going on.
It also oddly gave me a lot of anxiety that I didn& #39;t want to participate? That I was being put under a microscope about where my loyalties lie though I have been very vocal against racism and inequality not just lately but for many years.
I& #39;m not trying to speak for everyone who chose not to take part or attack people who did. A lot of my close friends did and I still love them. I& #39;m just speaking out to tell people not to use this challenge as a way to weed out the racists from your friend group.
And PLEASE don& #39;t let this be the sole thing you do to prove you aren& #39;t racist. Listen to Black people, speak out (safely), call out racism, donate to good causes, and think about what you& #39;re going to do to help not just now but for the rest of your life!
