1. black instagram
black activists
fairly woke non-black people
semi woke white people
people posting about brunch
"not all cops"
white supremists [sic - supremacists]
2. my social media feed falls somewhere along these intersections
I don't interact with these people at all, and they don't interact with my content
3. but some of my friends might occupy this intersection of the internet
4. and some of their followers might occupy this intersection of the internet
5. THE ONLY WAY TO GET INFORMATION DOWN THE CHAIN IS THROUGH A KIND OF GAME OF INFORMATIONAL TELEPHONE
6. EFFECTIVE
people that know more than me
(black organizers, intellectuals and individuals)
listening, learning, following instructions
people that know the same amount as me
me
Passing on information directly from black activists that they might not see
reaching out directly to have open and non judgemental conversations
Rephrasing knowledge to make it more accessible digestible
people that know less than me
(ex. older family members, childhood friends, former coworkers)
7. EFFECTIVE
people that know more than me
(black organizers, intellectuals and individuals)
peer accountability for actionable steps
(Most effective in a buddy system or small group text system)
people that know the same amount as me
me
people that know less than me
(ex. older family members, childhood friends, former coworkers)
8. NOT EFFECTIVE
people that know more than me
(black organizers, intellectuals and individuals)
telling people my opinions without listening
people that know the same amount as me
me
cancelling people before trying to engage with them
people that know less than me
(ex. older family members, childhood friends, former coworkers)
9. NOT EFFECTIVE
people that know more than me
(black organizers, intellectuals and individuals)
reflecting knoweldge back to people who already know to prove that I "get it"
aka virtue signalling
people that know the same amount as me
me
people that know less than me
(ex. older family members, childhood friends, former coworkers)
10. ALSO NOT EFFECTIVE
people that know more than me
(black organizers, intellectuals and individuals)
listening to black leaders and not doing anything about it because I am paralyzed by my own fear of virtue signalling
people that know the same amount as me
me
cancelling people before trying to engage with them
people that know less than me
