Ms Rachel is my celebrity crush
Breezily badass. She shames me and inspires me.
Sorry to disappoint you but she’s already married with children.
So, I can still crush on her. She is an awesome human being and she is cute.
So am I lol. A man can dream though.
This lady is our generation’s Mr. Rodgers. People like that are so rare.
I’ve met her with my kids. She’s the real deal.
Why only white celebrities though?
Edit: I understand why white people have more responsibility to speak up in these situations.
Maybe my problem is just that the phrasing seems to exclude everyone else. The (unintentional) implication is that only white celebrities are invited. Anyone with a platform should be speaking up IMO. I think “especially white celebrities” might make point more clear.
“The way people higher up our social hierarchies are reliably listened to over those lower down these unjust rankings is itself a major injustice. And it’s a pernicious everyday fact of life under oppressive systems like patriarchy and white supremacy. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to respond to the situation as a more privileged person. The right way involves speaking up when others who are less privileged won’t be heeded in the same way, and then using your power and privilege to amplify the voices of the marginalized folks who’ve long been shouting into the void. A wrong way is speaking over those who are better positioned to understand the issues due to their lived experience. But there’s another wrong way too: maintaining a scrupulous silence.”
“When powerful and privileged white people speak in defense of Black and brown people subject to state violence and colonization and genocide, there’s often a long overdue moment of reckoning.”
But why male models?
Why are you so ignorant?
