Being an Ally Without Overstepping

I vehemently support blm, but although I am a biracial person of color, I am not black. I want to support my black siblings in every way possible, but I also understand that this movement is theirs - they are the ones who should lead and shape it, I should listen and learn. 

I know racism well. I’ve seen it’s sinister face at every “random” security check, every morning when my mom straightened her hair because curls are “unprofessional”, in every “joke” at school. But I also know that black people may experience racism differently than I do, and I can’t use my own experiences to steamroll their very real needs. 

I will be at every march I can. I will spread messages of support and confront racism when I see it. BUT I will understand that blm is not about me, and that I am an ally with much to learn. I will listen, and when I mess up, I will apologize and do better. 

Being an ally is NOT taking control of a movement. Being an ally is listening, learning, and supporting. 

BLM.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE APOLOGIZING FOR BECAUSE I’M COMPLETELY CONFUSED

The RNA vaccines approved for COVID-19 in the US both need to be distributed at extremely low temperatures. Like 40F lower than any other mass-distributed medicine.

It turns out the Dippin Dots company runs the only nationwide supply chain that’s ever operated at those temperatures. So all these big serious health orgs are consulting the expertise of, and even exploring renting equipment from, The Ice Cream of the Future™️.

you know you’ve got brain rot when you hear the phrase “hey now” and complete the line with “don’t try this at home” instead of “you’re an all star” like a normal person
