Imagine thinking this matters. it does when people see their favourite celebrity/influencer doing the same obviously it needs to translate into action (e.g. donating, helping local causes, etc) but this is still good for raising awareness, gaining wider support and leading people into doing something --- https://imgur.com/uUaFvGj <cite>Parappa09 posted [p:940076860] in Apparently...

LostForest 06/02/20 1:15:52 PM #44:	LinkScorbunny posted... I posted a blackout picture hope you guys did too! I posted the album art of Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue, and a link to it, urging people to go listen to it, as well as a link to the for George Floyd's family, because I hate dumb trendy gestures like the black square. Like, I don't get it. People say they do it show their solidarity. Great. To who? Their friends and family who presumably already know they're not racist? And most companies/celebrities are doing it because they're obligated to, lest they want to get called out like I mentioned earlier. Ironically, the first pic I saw in my news feed this afternoon that wasn't the black square was from the official Louis Armstrong Facebook page lol. --- http://dracanea.net <cite>LostForest posted [p:940077638] in Apparently...

And now I hear that BLM activists don't like the whole thing anyway because it drowns out important info.

Its a very positive message and I dont think people should find something wrong with it. Nobody is forcing you to do it.
