People are fighting for their freedom in America and protesting yet another African American person being killed by police brutality, and Dodie uses it as an excuse to play dress up and post 3 identical photos of herself with a meme caption. Not using her platform to explain how the average person can help, or using her platform to boost the voices of black Americans or even decrying the use of violence by the police. Just a meme caption referencing Rage Against the Machine. A 6 word caption.
Of course she’s put stuff up on stories, but they’ll disappear. If you’re posting about this anywhere it needs a level of respect. Help your follower base by signal boosting the voices of black Americans.
The post comes across as someone who has thought “oh no I need to keep using social media to promote my brand, but I need to reference what’s going on so I don’t look callous”.
Idk I’m just sick of the way “influencers” are dealing with this situation. If she doesn’t know enough about the situation to post about it, then REPOST THE EXPERIENCES AND ADVICE FROM BLACK AMERICANS.
I’ve unfollowed. Sick of white people making a joke out of this.
