”caring for BLACK PEOPLE BEING GUNNED DOWN IN THEIR HOMES FOR NO REASON is such a hard thing to do nd that aMERicAns better help some other group.” This is exactly why I despise and refuse to platform posts from european bloggers that begin with “UGH discussions about racism on tumblr are so americanized.” Because 99% of the time they’re thinly veiled attacks on BLM activism. And trying to frame BLM activism being commodified by media as proof that black people suddenly have it easier than them. Some of y’all white/nonblack people rbing those posts need to get better at spotting when they’re just thinly veiled anti BLM vagueposts. But I am getting tired of seeing posts like those being put on my dash like every other few months. I get that it’s hard to keep track of every sort of vague anti BLM post made by british/italian european tumblr. But you have GOT to try harder. You owe it to black people to learn the dogwhistles on your own. Instead of expecting us to hold your hand explaining the basics to you. Please do better when it comes to this issue. If the white/nonblack leftist tumblr communities were better I wouldn’t even be having to make this post. But unfortunately that’s not the reality. It’s such a rampant problem that that is why I feel the need to make this post. If you send asks asking what are the subtler anti BLM dogwhistles from british/italian european tumblr I’m willing to answer them if I’m not distracted/running on low spoons. Just please at least do more, it’s so tiring to see this shit on my dash so regularly from white/nonblack mutuals. Please boost this as well. Just about anyone can reblog just don’t start any discourse or you’re getting blocked and possibly publicly called out.
