blackout tuesday is over, so what happens now? we’ve put together some really simple ways non-black people can positively exercise their white privilege in their everyday lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ it’s all well and good signing a petition, posting a black square, going out to protest or even giving a donation BUT what now? the work can’t stop their. non-black people need to make a conscious daily decision to be anti-racist and exercise their white privilege to help POC around them! the only way change can come is through a change of mindset and small actions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⁣ why deny the existence of white privilege when you could use it to expose injustices and actually use it for good? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ⁣ ⭐️please note there are so many other ways you can exercise white privilege to stop racism but these are just a few suggestions that you can implement immediately in your daily life ❤️⁣ ⁣ ⭐️ ⭐️this post is not intended to glorifying tokenism and isn’t telling you to make ‘black friends’. if you notice your circle isn’t as diverse as you would like and you have an open heart and genuinely want to get to know new people and experience new cultures then you can look to diversify ing your circle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ words and creation by: @vibesofablackgirl ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Vibes of a Black Girl Ⓒ
