Major eye roll at all the influencers and celebrities who bandwagon on trending tweets over the most ridiculous gossip-esque stories and drama but literally CANNOT bring themselves to show an ounce of support for other POC. Disappointed #BlackLivesMatters
Many are afraid and embarrassed to speak up, we don’t know each other’s whole story. Coming at one another for not doing what ‘you’ perceive to be “right” is unfair and perpetuates further divide and fear. GET A GRIP
Idk everything, but I have opinions. I do believe that we should vocalizing and insisting that brands, businesses, and influencers need to use their platforms to talk about important matters. But do I believe we should be harassing, bullying and shaming those who don’t ??
Balance. We are not at war with one another. Do not let your emotions and the chaos rip us apart. We need one another right now. Choose to educate and influence, not shame and spread more hate. We’re all entitled to our own opinions and actions. Whether they’re wrong or not.
I know everyone is triggered and upset, but its not about you and I can see some people have difficulty deciphering the two. How you feel is valid but how you communicate the actual issue at hand matters far more and is bigger than what you feel.
To be silent is to be complicit.
Black lives matter.
We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.
Everyone wanna support me when I post about my ootd and make up or food but then disappear when I have some real sh*t to talk about ??? Hahah what’s up with that tho.
the problem w/ "ALL LIVES MATTER", while it has some truth in it, is that it undermines the struggle of the oppressed & takes the spotlight away from them.
same energy when we talk abt:
sexism = "what about men's struggles?"
lgbt struggles = "what abt straight ppl?"
