But putting a post on social media saying you give a shit does something?
Huh?
I'm sharing a quote on one of our leading activists in apartheid's view here in South Africa on this matter. Also relevant to the discussion regarding folk who are against riots and/or protesting etc.
Anyone can be a keyboard warrior, it's up to each person in their own sphere of influence to not be a bystander to racial prejudice or be silent on such matters when it is blatantly out in the open, and if there is something we are able to do, however small.
I live in a society where it is racism is all over, and its so easy to be neutral and say, oh well it doesn't affect me personally, so it's fine. Sure we don't say that outright, but we can show it with our actions.
Not all of us can be activists or MLK's or the like, but let's not be neutral and rather find a way we can contribute in our own way.
But on your actually question. If it also means helping change someone on here's view or opinion on certain issues that's being discussed in here, that are clearly aiding some of the problems we have, then hey, great. However, based on Cafe debate history, opinions hardly change, and one must be a true optimist to think we can change people's views on matters to a life changing degree I guess.
Saying that, it is true that just updating your Facebook profile pic to have the BLM cover or whatever, does nothing, neither does posting on here, which clearly wasn't want I or Tutu was referring to, but more on the lines of what I posted about our lives in society, and our contributions in our daily interactions.
