To ask how you are supporting BLM?

[JFSB]

I have asked this question on a few threads now but I've yet to get an answer so here I am.

AIBU to question those who claim to support the BLM movement but instead spend more time discussing protesting at this time than actually supporting the movement?

A virtual protest to took place on Sunday evening as part of the Black Lives Matter movement, on the fifth anniversary of the burial of Sheku Bayoh.
The move came after Mr Bayoh’s sister, Kadi Johnston, who is a staff nurse, urged people to protest digitally due to the pandemic.

However getting the news of this virtual protest out there was difficult because instead it seems many people would rather argue about what went wrong at the protests in public that did take place.

I keep reading you support the cause and peaceful protests but what are you actually doing to support the cause and peaceful protest?

@BlackKite there have been some excellent solutions on what you can do on this thread if you’d like to.

Benign more aware of calling out racism and not ignoring it.
Watching films such as the 13th, When they See Us and the recent bbc drama about the windrush scandal.

As well as writing to my MP and donating to charities that support black people.

I’m obviously not being a racist twat, and if I see anything racist I’ll call it out. I’ve been following the news to a point and read the odd article. Other than that? I’m sitting on my fat white privileged arse doing nothing.

I donated to the minnesota bail fund and I bought the good immigrant which Im now reading. I shared a good podcast on facebook (throughline - american police). Im trying not to virtue signal so havent posted much but have been lurking and reading.

As an adult, I have employed as many white people as black people and people of colour: right now my company is 50/50.
I call out racism when I see or hear it; in any part of my personal or professional life.
I support BLM because they do and it goes without saying.
I can do more and I will do my own research but I thank those on this thread who have provided information to assist me.
I don't need anyone to educate me, but we all learn from others so let's not use this forum to criticise each other and instead let's highlight the fantastic information and advice provided so we can ALL do better.
