my professor made a really good point that white/nonblac ppl sharing violent videos/images of black people being killed/assaulted on social media is akin to people going to watch lynchings. its a social event and a form of entertainment. we all know by now that there are ways to share that violence is happening without having to reproduce that violence and potentially retraumatize people so like...consider that next time you want to share a video of a police shooting

#i know on tumblr sometimes thats all that gets passed around #so a challenge to yall nonblack folk #go to the news source and link the article!#if the video is in the article put a content warning in your new post!#stop showing what are effectively snuff films thank u #thats what my prof said #life and times #murder t #assault t #abuse t #anitblackness t #lynching m
