¿Por qué NO debes subir la foto en negro y unirte al #BlackOutTuesday #blackOutDay ni al #BlackOutDay2020 ?

Están manipulando tu buena intención para apagar el movimiento de #BlackLivesMatter

Han pasado muchas cosas en las últimas horas pero la más importante es:

👉🏽 ¿Empezó o no una guerra psicológica?

Esto tiene que ver con los hashtags que estaban en tendencia antes de que el #blackouttuesday llegara y usara la buena intención de la gente para desviar el tema.
¿Que hashtags estaban en tendencia?
👉🏽 #bible (duró más de 4 horas #1)

STATEMENT | Muslim Council of Britain responds to Black Lives Matter protests across the world | 2 June 2020
“We commit to playing our part in tackling anti-black racism within the UK, supporting the individuals & organisations doing vital work in this space, whilst focusing on addressing anti-black racism w.in Muslim communities.”

THREAD. #blacklivesmatter [1/10]
Issuing a statement without committing to action is an exercise in futility, and so, we redouble our efforts to address anti-black racism, with a key focus on tackling anti-black racism within British Muslim communities, today. [2/10]

Okay, hi.

Now that I’m cooled off, I’d like to give a more detailed picture of what is happening with #BlackoutDay. So on our IG and @theblckout, we acknowledged the July 7th #BlackoutDay2020 was happening because we essentially had no choice. Our site was crashing with q’s.
It was being organized by someone else who modified and began uniting people under a tag branded like ours without getting in touch. That happens to us *often* (there are Blackout tags for TikTok, K-Pop, Eid, etc). We typically try to go with the flow and support spinoffs.
But the diff. is that #BlackOutDay2020 is word for word #BlackoutDay, a tag that did not exist (esp. not for the purpose of collective Black action) before us. When you search, you were finding us first. But a guy organized without us, celebrities picked it up, we‘re shut out.
