Spend some time understanding the many ways racism manifests itself, not just within society, but within yourself. Here are a few questions to reflect on before saying #BlackLivesMatter. #antiracist #allyship #DiversityandInclusion #Blacktwitter #blm instagram.com/p/CBTTDIcAlsq/…

Here’s a refreshing perspective on #allyship from a friend, Kyle. “Allyship to me is a stripe you earn every day, then rip off and earn again the next. It’s not a title you own, but something you continually earn.” More on this here instagram.com/p/CBBHVc6g91K/… #BlackLivesMatter

The big question of the week: Do “Black” people prefer being called Black? Today we answered this question on Volted Voices! To Ask a Black Person, Anything, visit instagram.com/p/CBgAfLog8mE/… #BlackLivesMattters #blm #BlackPeople #BlackTwitter #AfricanAmerican #antiracist

We were today years old when we learned that Quaker Oats’ Aunt Jemima maple syrup brand name and image were based on a racial stereotype. More here: voltedvoices.org/personal-stori… #BlackLivesMattters #pepsico #AuntJemima #quakeroats #UncleBens #racialstereotypes #blm #BlackTwitter

Respect Juneteenth, freedom day. Today is a day of action. Don’t just repost a Juneteenth image. Take action. Shop Black-owned business & donate to a social justice organization. We must keep doing the work #JUNETEENTH2020 #BlackLivesMatter #ShopBlackOwned #blm #HappyJuneteenth

On this Father’s Day, we’re remembering the life of #GeorgeFloyd who was killed just 4 weeks ago by a senseless act of racial violence by a White police officer. Father’s Day is a privilege. instagram.com/p/CBssIXTAY6U/… #FathersDay #fathersday2020 #BlackLivesMatter #GirlDad

Stop with the harmful rhetoric and dangerous phrases like “assume best intentions,” which are weapons used to silence Black people and their concerns. #blacklivesmatter #blacktwitter #allyship #assumebestintent #blm #antiracist #LanguageMatters #gaslighting

Modern day Black Codes still exist. We must work to dismantle restrictions on Black freedoms and systemic + institutionalized racism. instagram.com/p/CB3LCmuAmQO/… #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter #allyship #blackcodes #blm #ThursdayThoughts #thursdayvibes

Come harder with real systemic change please! #blm

Want to know how to argue with a racist? You don’t, save your energy for meaningful action and for those who actually want to learn #antiracism #BlackLivesMattters #sundayvibes #allyship

Reasons why the #whitepower argument does not hold. It oppresses others and spreads racist doctrines. #BlackLivesMatter #blm #blackpower #BlackTwitter #black #antiracism

Feeling incredibly moved today by this quote by Dr İbrahim Fatih DOĞAN ! “To be anti-racist is to believe in the word now. Patience is a dirty word to those incarcerated by inequity. Patience is a nasty word to those with injustice kneeing down on their neck.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
