'If you are not Black and you are not sharing what’s going on and talking about it, to me, you’re sending a message that you agree with whats going on.' —chrissyford implores the non-black community to speak up in times of injustice.
I think in times like these, it’s really important to be mindful of the quote about loving black people just as much as you love Black culture. Because day in and day out I see white people posting about how they love Travis Scott and they love Roddy Rich, and they’re dancing to “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion. It’s very clear to see how white people align themselves with Black trends. And to seem in the know and to be cool.
I get people trying to make the argument of like ‘Well, I just don’t share everything on social media’ and I get that to a certain extent. You’re making the donations, you’re making the calls and whatnot. But I do think that it matters to share your point of view on social because let’s be real—we spend most of our time on social media. I think if you can take the time out to share your everyday content, you can also take the time to share where you stand in important issues such as this.
There's so many layers to this, obviously. What we’ve seen the last couple of days and what we’ve seen time after time is very overt racism. But covert racism is something that Black people still also have to deal with on a daily basis. That can be anything from being paid less than your white coworkers, to hearing ‘Oh, you sound white’ or ‘She thinks she’s white.’ Also hearing white people use the word “ghetto” to describe things that they don’t like.
