SOCIAL MEDIA Blackout Tuesday and white privilege
A lengthy article from the Indie; well worth a read - I'd just had an infrequent look on FB, saw Gary Numan's posts with black squares, wondered what the hell this was about...then read this long article.
Two black women called for an ongoing protest against discriminatory practice; exploitation of and profiting from black artists - and their protest # got warped into a 1 day virtue-signalling fest ... by white liberals like Gary Numan.
The web 2.0 (and 3.0) concepts are frequently cited on this blog - including critics like John McMuria who point out how much the status quo dominate the revolutionary (plat)form - this is an excellent article to really understand how ideology comes into play with such an apparent outpouring of anti-racist solidarity that is essentially (unconsciously, an important point!) racist.
