Long time lurker, first time poster, and I completely agree with this!At face value, her reasoning for not attending a protest is completely valid - it's the same reason I didn't go. But I shared the location of our nearest protest to my measly 300 IG followers and have been stringently adhering to covid-19 restrictions the whole time. Sarah & Kurt, on the other hand, have frequently left the house for unnecessary things like free surf boards, tattoos, hair appointments and the like. For Sarah to suddenly try and claim she's "staying safe at home" is complete & utter bullshit.
But even if we gave her the benefit of doubt, the very least she & Kurt could have done is shared details of the protests across their platforms. To actively avoid doing this, just proves that her previous posts about the BLM movement & her cultural appropriation apology were all just lip service. She said the nice words and posted the pretty picture, claims she donated a buck or two, but when it comes down to real, tangible action, Sez has nothing to contribute. She's all talk.
I didn't attend the protests in my city due to having people in my life that are at risk. I did however watch the live streams and actively thank people and participated in the comments. But that would've been too much for Sarah. She could've watched a live stream, shared details about the protest in Sydney and other areas, or actively told her followers how to stay safe while protesting. Instead she did nothing.
In my opinion, basically nothing she has posted has been anti-racist. She's not sharing educational resources, especially not those from actual black people who are pretty much giving away education and links to resources for free right now. Yes, she donated. Good on her. But with the amount of money her and Kurt make they should be making regular monthly donations if they really cared. She says she's going to buy indigenous art, but as Rachael Sarra (@sar.ra_) said, you shouldn't be putting indigenous art on your walls just to prove you're not racist.
Sorry if I've come across too strong, she's really pissed me off lately. Glad to say I no longer even follow her just to watch the drama!
