I agree, with regards to influencers as well. It's great that this is receiving widespread & international media coverage, but people are acting like this is the first time something this inhumane/unjust has happened to a person of color. George Floyd is a drop in the ocean of innocent black people that have been a target only because of the color of their skin.
I can be a cynical person, and maybe this is just that coming out, but this just proves to me that all these white influencers posting stories like 'get educated' are so bleeping oblivious, and have been this whole time. I don't respect influencers that are posting about BLM now any more than the ones that aren't doing so - you either speak about a social issue openly on social media, or you don't. You don't post about it when it's trendy to do so because everyone else is. I understand that these women have a platform, but it's also an easy thing to do to be an armchair activist. These Instagram stories aren't necessarily doing enough good to warrant criticism of influencers that don't post them - and can come off as disingenuous.
Of course this is just my highly critical opinion. I'm absolutely not against people spreading awareness of social issues & trying to raise money to combat them. The assumption that person posting an instagram story = them caring about an issue, and not posting a story = not caring about an issue is flawed because most of these people have never spoken up before. It's now the norm to do so, and they're just conforming to it.
