things i want you, a non black person, to know right now. from a black person
http://change.org , for the most part, does not do shit. if theres a movement for a specific people, use their official websites and fundraisers and use government sites. make calls to representatives and write emails
stop making black people feel like they have to coddle you. stop making events like this about you. if you’re just now realizing how fucked up the system is and how no one gives a shit about black people, YOUR BLACK MOOTS DONT WANT TO HEAR IT. WE ALREAD KNOW. WE LIVE IT.
it isn’t our job to console you now that you realize that “black people have it rly bad 🥺🥺🥺.” we’ve been dealing with this our whole lives.
do not wait until another black person dies for you to give a shit about black people. don’t go back to shitposting tomorrow. make an effort to be a good ally. that means doing the work even when its not a hastag that’s trending on twitter.
for the love of god do not speak over ur black mutuals. if they are uncomfortable with something, own it, and stop.
mourning our lost brothers and sisters is all we really have. there will be no justice for so many of them. holding each other tight and talking is the most we will get. do NOT ruin that space by shitposting and saying ignorant shit if ur black mutuals ask you to.
i will add more and if ur black and want me to add something u can dm me or reply w/ it

don't say "POC" when you mean black. POC are very diverse. do not say "listen to POC" when you mean "listen to black people." black is not a dirty word and you need to be specific.
