If that anon is concerned about the amount of time T took to speak up, then anon is not concerned about Black Lives AT ALL. This is not a trend. No matter how late or how early you post it IT DOESNT MATTER. This is an advocacy and I agree with you Virtchy. Instead of waiting for your fav to post why not direct that energy supporting that movement, instead of keeping watch at the celebrities that tweet or post. I hope everyone can make a change.
Honestly we have to stop giving these influencers so much power over our lives. Itās fine to be a fan but at the end of the day you need to stay grounded in reality and realize you donāt know these people and theyāre words donāt mean shit.
Look at Ariana Grande, Tessa Thompson, Madison Beer, Kehlani, Halsey, etc out there fucking DOING shit thatās REAL because theyāre not just using their privelaged platform to spit out some words that arenāt gonna do anything. Thatās what we all need to be doing right now!
Actions are how things get accomplished. Look at our history and how weāve evolved. The only way to enact change is through action especially in situations like this where the oppressed voices are constantly silenced. More words and peaceful protests arenāt going to do anything.
We shouldnāt care about what some privelaged white people have to say on social media because social media is not going to change a damn thing no matter how many celebrities write 5 paragraph think pieces on how wrong the world is.
If your life decisions and morals are hinged on what some person you donāt even personally know posts on social media you need to do some soul searching.
They have done nothing to earn that type of influence over your life. Stop giving it to them! Be your own influence and help take actual action in the real world and help change it for the better.
