Hang on a minute let me just chime in here I have posted a short while ago where I said I have POC friends. Emma may but I don't know. Where are you coming from? As said in my previous post I am 66 I have actually lived through the years when racial, sexual and disability discrimination were challenged and anti discrimination factors put into law. Did that work? Not enough to eradicate it. Do I think white privilege is overthrown no I don't. Say what you mean by that. Saying I have POC friends for me means just that and as I went on to say I debate all of these issues with them. Do I or they want social media influencers saying xyz on their feed? No they may have an audience but will that audience hear the message and put it into action? Not in a zillion years for the majority. My POC friends want relevant folks to hear their message and help the move to getting the message recognised and enshrined into law. I emphasise why on earth do folks only NOW need to learn? This is a war that is well documented and has been waging for well over 150 years. Do you honestly believe that someone like Mrs Hinch a stupid 30 year old ex sales person trying to kid her followers she is just a normal Essex gal has a platform where posting black lives matter will encourage her hinch army to change the way they think and change the world?
Sorry your post is to long to skim read right now will Read and reply properly later

I think you either share your platform for something useful and helpful or don’t bother at all don’t add
tit screen shots CLAIMING you did something when in reality she probably didn’t do dot
Oh and then turning it al back to her and herself without a care in the world
I feel she’s a white privileged woman and when she’s ever doubted will drag up her woe is me my mum died we had to flea South Africa again about HER that’s where I’m coming from but then I find every day she goes out of her way to come across worse
as for the overkill comment and tweet share I can’t even put into words my thoughts
And as for why learn NOW because now is better than never in my opinion but people have to be willing to learn not just pretend for a day or follow a social media craze
