Performative allyship

I see more posts by white people asking if it’s “okay” for them to see Black Panther than I do see them asking for links to charity campaigns trying to help young Black kids see the movie. 

which is to say the BP tags have like three of the former posts every day, but I have yet to see a SINGLE post by a white person asking people to send them links for campaigns they can support. 

I need someone to realize that this is the pinacle of performative allyship.

they’re out here trying to get their hoodpass into wakanda but aren’t ready to let Jerome hold a dollar. They want to be invited to the cookout, but won’t even bring a bag of ice. They want to think themselves the ‘special white people’ but don’t actually want to do the work of the special white people.

and before you, white person clearly missing the point of this posts asks, yes, you CAN reblog this if it’s to show support of the message.

Here’s some links, btw, to gofundmes that still need funding for helping black kids see Black Panther:
