Damned If You Do Damned If You Don’t

“Damned if you do and damned if you don't” – chastised for holding an opinion on something others have an opinion on, but don't speak out – dictionary.cambridge.org

It is important to speak out

We’re in a world where the good are damned if they speak out for others and also damned if they keep quiet. Gary Lineker chose to speak out. I speak out through my blog. But the universe doesn't expect us to turn a blind eye, and where there is conflict and people are being displaced, it has become even more important for those in a privileged position to speak out

Gary Lineker

I'm using Gary Lineker, A BBC Sports presenter as an example. He put a tweet out over asylum policy and found himself in hot water for speaking out, suspended briefly pending an investigation into his tweet, then was reinstated a few days later, rightly so.

Responding to replies to the tweet, Lineker described the government’s new plan to detain and deport migrants arriving by boat as “an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people". It's true.

Gary Lineker support

“The controversy impacted the BBC’s sports programs, with dozens of sports presenters and reporters walking out of their jobs in support of Lineker.”

There are people in the world who need our help, people who have escaped conflict and who have become displaced. The bottom line is that as long as what we're saying is in good grace and it is helping others, we should be speaking out.

I know you see it... #THEELEPHANTINTHEROOM. Don't turn a blind eye. #STAYHOME and #STAYSAFE! Please, #dontshowyourignorance... 'ef the governor! #THEYDONTREALLYCARE. People are dying out here yet GET YOUR NAILS DONE? GO GET YOUR HAIR DID? Mind's well say #DieNiggerDie! Democracy's gone. Let COVID kill 'em, Scrap the #absenteeballot, and mandate "the why." Decrease the census. CATCH A MOVIE! GO BOWLING! Said the governor. Put people at risk?! Jus' save the economy! But under Phase One. #EconomicGrowth is of #primaryconern! Common sense is gone. -Stevie #2020 / #COVID19 #haiku | #dontturnablindeye ・・・ In lieu of the governor's intelligence being less than or equal to his president's, You better continue to #governyourselvesaccordingly... If it's not an essential matter, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE. Please proceed to #shelterinplace until there's evidence that proves otherwise; If nothing else let's let Kemp, Trump, and those fanatic Trump fans be the first to brave the wild outside. -Stevie #wakeupandwiseup #scribesandvibes #adifferentkindofvibe #unorthodoxtribe https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Qa1xNB1sj/?igshid=1d668xmi83kn4

I do not want my children to be part of this disgusting behaviour that is being showcased by what I thought were my fellow brothers and sisters. Barbarism at its finest and it really shocks me that Durbanites are so fuxked up. Just remember God is watching...#FuckXenophobia #NoWorldWar3 #DontTurnABlindEye #YourDescendentsWillPayForYourSins
