well lettme tell yall what overstepping in black issues is:
-tweet decking instead of retweeting a black person’s voice
-getting offended FOR black people
-making tweets targeting black people (i.e. “to my black oomfs...”)
-apologizing to black oomfs
-forcin celebs to speak up

on top of that, this is what performative activism is:
-all of the above
-“preachy” tweets like “black lives will always matter”
-guilt tripping
-chain posts
-policing peoples emotions

all in all, many people have good intentions, but when you go about it the wrong way, you’re doing more harm than good. understand where youre being harmful and fix it, or stop being an “activist”
also wanna add: trying to force people to participate does nothing. fuck them for being uninformed, but fighting with them doesnt help the people we are trying to save. they suck, you don’t.
ALSO: if you do like one of these things but nothing else, ur not necessarily performative. but if u checking off multiple boxes...
last update: yall dont have to delete ur tweets besides the chain mails/misinformation. just..for future reference...
