Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Agreed. Black boxes on Instagram is really the lowest form of "activism". And it's not just dumb white people doing it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracious Gaga 17,163 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 He doesnât get it. believe it or not- these black boxes speak VOLUMES when everyone is participating.  It is a sign of unity.  And itâs just for ONE DAY. get over it. Tomorrow you can go back to posting whatever you want. but today is a moment of SILENCE for the lives lost. â„ Kindness Police. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollardays 3,109 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 He's right. The privileged were already silent and now they keep silent and uneducated with the mask of activism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleepBloop 10,191 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 What's wrong with what he wrote? Posting black pictures is an excuse to not have to actively post about BLM. They are bullsh*t and don't do anything good to anyone. Sign petitions and donate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It's one perspective, and a good one. A "blackout" is basically a silent protest for those that don't dare to riot on the streets. He wants a more proactive approach, ok fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE. 3/4 of the people that I follow on Instagram haven't said SH*T about what is happening, but today they suddenly ALL care, when they can jump on another Instagram trend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 But when Azealia Banks says that reducing black lives to a black square on social media is for attention and minimizes the actual movement, yâall crucify her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 65,694 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I don't really understand this argument. It's not like people haven't been spreading around information, signing petitions, donating, going to protests, etc. This is literally the first time I've seen him talk about anything related to BLM. He shouldn't be talking. đđ€đč Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahrahWitch 6,901 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I get how some people are seeing it come across that way but it's not just the box, It's also people collectively agreeing to not post anything at all to give the BLM Movement as much social media attention as it can. It's just one method. People who are just posting and that's it, Yes that's doing the absolute bare minimum and that's a problem but many are using it as a sign of solidarity, giving attention to the movement while also helping in other ways.
