White people: whatever outrage and sadness you are feeling - pouring it all out on social to your Black friends won& #39;t make them feel connected to you, it just places the burden of your feelings on top of their own.

Send money, send a meal, buy from Black businesses. BE USEFUL.
Allies: Now is the time to be in the service of Black liberation.

Limit your response to what is of real, tangible help to us. Give money, call your reps, protect Black people at protests, elevate our work and voices.

Don& #39;t make us swim through your tears while we fight.
So. So annoying.
