Hihi I’ve been a little confused with the whole #blackouttuesday because there has been some miscommunication and conceptions. Hmm I tried to dive into Twitter to get a better understanding!this is what I got so far, please correct me if I’m wrong! 
#theshowmustbepaused was the original intention behind black out Tuesday, started by two black execs in the music industry to stop business as usual to take time to reflect, have conversation and take steps to support the black communities. A reminder that multi-billion dollar music industries profit heavily off black art and artists, and to see what actions can be taken to have some accountability. 
Some confusion sparked because of a misconception that people were meant to stay silent. It’s not about being silent. It’s about silencing any other voice that isn’t contributing to blm. But to keep reading and posting! Because silence is what upholds these systems in the first place. It’s also not just about posting a black pic for trends sake. 
Also I’m sure y’all have seen to untag #. blm if you have. But apparently if you originally posted with the #. blm, and only removed the hashtag the post will still remain. You have to DELETE and REPOST. As u probably know, the blm hashtag needs to be reserved for those who need vital information while protesting! Please don’t let our good intentions here end up harming or misguiding the real cause, people are dying, EVERYDAY. People are being arrested. People are missing. It is important we understand the irony that in ineffectively engaging with the cause, we are accidentally silencing them! And removing months information and hard work. 
Also I found this YouTube video that is Super cute (real 2020 crisis innovation) Essentially if you have no $$ to donate you can watch the video, DO NOT SKIP ADs, so that it can generate revenue and that revenue will be donated to an array of funds like the Brooklyn bail fund and Minnesota freedom fund. Swipe to see the video title you can just type it into YouTube direct! 
And a general consensus is that if you can post a black image you can share petitions and donations and information. If you’ve ever said “yasss gurl” u can support 🙂
