I follow many “social justice” and “activist” pages on social media. I recognize that simply just posting or reposting on social media is not the epitome of social justice and social awareness, albeit, it would be impractical and narrow minded to suggest that many social media platforms are not influential mediums for change. Social media is a powerful tool in the dissemination of information, the spreading of resources and the increasinging of solidarity. Just reposting on social media is not necessarily indicative of someone’s social awareness. The majority of my black friends follow the same social justice and activist pages.
