#BlackoutTuesday: Performative Activism's Issues
Qy'Darrius McEachern • TEDxTexasStateUniversity
What if I told you it was more important for Black people to be liberated from anti-Black racism, than it is for you to be PERCIEVED as a good person? Over the year of 2020, we saw an increased level of awareness in non-Black people on the real issues of anti-Black racism across the United States, which led to an increase in performative activism. This talk dives into this phenomena, its impacts, and what real allyship looks like with Black people.
