¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I heard you, but I need a moment to articulate a response

I think I heard you, but I’d like you to repeat it to be sure

I’m not sure I heard you properly

I heard exactly every other word you’ve said and I can’t make sense of it

There was competing noise and I completely missed what you’ve said

I tuned in/out halfway through

RM imitating black people

RM saying the n-word

RM in dreads

this fucking mess on suga

mouthing/saying the n word

not specifically related to this post but still mention-able:

holocaust photoshoot (the photoshoot mentioned) (tw: antisemitism)

mocked trayvon martin’s death

shared a GRAPHIC fantasy about mutilating and killing a black woman who called him out on racism and misogynoir

defending pedophilia on his podcast

gave multiple racist influencers platforms

one of which he made jokes about their racist scandals the whole time

the other he sympathized with when he whined about getting called a cracker in response to calling 2 of his latino employees b**ners

made a parody of nicki minaj in black face, in which he was mostly making fun of her for having plastic surgery and having a fat ass, literally a modern day minstrel show

made a song where 2 characters were at a club and the joke was that they saw a trans woman and thought she was hot, saying the t slur in said song

made a video where he jacked off to a poster of willow smith (who was underage at the time)

profited off of a character who’s literally based on black stereotypes for years

done blackface in other instances i don’t even know the context of

shouted the n word

there’s a bit in another of his old videos where he literally masquerades as an immigrant who doesn’t know much english- this hasn’t been called out yet, but i remember seeing it in 6th grade (in the same video he asks a character that’s supposed to be his mom- but just him in a wig, as usual, if white people or latin people are better, and the mom character refers to as a trick question)

refers to himself as poor in his videos to this day, even though we all know he damn well isn’t.

Continue to amplify black voices on your social-media. Even if you have committed yourself to the Instagram blackout this week, continue to share #blm posts and spread helpful information when you can. This includes sharing petitions, GoFundMes, and educational resources.

Support black owned businesses over large corporations. This includes phasing out corporations like Amazon in support for black owned book stores, grocery stores, restaurants, Etsy sellers, and cosmetic brands.

Check in on your black friends, family, and community members. The black members of your community are experiencing an immense collective trauma right now. Check in and ask them what they need

Educate your racist and misinformed family members or friends. You may be met with backlash for speaking out for what is right. As a non-black person and ally, it is your responsibility to educate the people around you and have those hard conversations.

We’re fighting for George and so much more. It’s important to read black theory and understand the systematic oppression that black people face. We not only fight for George Floyd, but for all black lives -including black femme lives, black queer/trans lives, black homeless lives, and black incarcerated lives.

Donate to bail-funds, GoFundMes, and directly to protestors. Allocate your resources directly to those who need it. Some bail for protestors is posted at over $100,000 - all the more reason to support these bail-funds as much as you can.

Dedicate time for grocery runs and give to food donation centers. Remember that many of the places hit hardest by violence are already in food deserts. This leaves these communities without the food resources they need to survive.

Pay attention to those who have stayed silent. If there are people in your life who have not spoken out about racism, hold them accountable. Ask them why. This system of oppression continues because of white supremacy and the wilful ignorance of the people around us. We will not allow it to continue.
