I just don’t think them speaking up would have any impact, what do they know about racism? They’re white and have never experienced it, Megan Markle made a video abt it and it’s on YT, she has experienced it herself and so I get why she has done it but if the Wrights did speak out then people would say “why are they speaking out, what do they know”, celebs think they’re the most important folks in the world as it is and this would fuel their narcissism I think.
I also think anything they said wouldn’t really be sincere because it’s all very well reading about bad things that happen, but sometimes we hear things yet don’t really think about what it means, and you become desensitised to bad news in all honesty.
I won’t be influenced in any direction by something a celeb says, granted I’m nearly 40 so past all that and I know many aren’t, but I just don’t see why they, or any white celeb really l, should talk abt something they know f all about.
Well the issue is exactly that, isn’t it? People who have never experienced racism and very possibly have never considered the issue or listened to the experiences of those who have saying that they recognise that there IS an issue, that it’s an important one, and encouraging others to find out more and respect what they hear?
White people can’t say they have nothing to do with racism. We are perpetrating it. Not necessarily in any way that we see ourselves - that’s why we need to listen.
