Tired of seeing blacklivesmatter posts

The reawakening of the #BLM movement due to the cause of #GeorgeFloyd ’s death on May 25, 2020 has caused an incredible amount of people to start speaking up and out for the black community, regardless of their color! I am so proud of each and every single human who has actively chosen to not remain silent about this. Due to the much needed loud voices and posts currently flooding in from activists and journalists on social media platforms and other media outlets I have heard of people claiming to have feed fatigue. More commonly known as people who are tired and want their social media feeds to return back to NORMAL?? But what if this is our new normal? This can be referred to as white fragility. If white people are tired about hearing about racism imagine how exhausted the black community and POC are of having to actually deal with it! If you take one thing away from this video please let it be the fact that we need to start as individuals to educate ourselves in order to come together and be a team to eradicate racism. This is not a mission that will happen in a matter of days, weeks, or even years but if each person proudly takes the first step today into questioning and reflecting on their beliefs thoughts and information that is already instilled into their minds we can take ONE GIANT LEAP TOGETHER to working harder in order to be be actively #anti-racist.
