Consider asking yourself WHY you’re reaching out to someone Black before you do rn. If it’s to make yourself feel better that you spoke to a Black person directly so it looks like you put in an effort, keep it.

Don’t console me, CONFRONT your racist Trump voting family members.

I know it feels like you’re trying when you privately reach out to ask “Hi, where can I donate?” but it translates as “I know you’re suffering and having an awful mental health day, but can you pause that to do research for me that I could google or find out by asking publicly?”

There are match/donation/resource threads and articles all over the internet. I’m tired and I’m hurt. Don’t ask me to do any labor/work for you about a struggle you’ll never know. One, I have to struggle with every day. Not just when there are protests.
