チェルシー・ルーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (チェルシー・ルーズInstagram)「Beginning this post with “I” doesn’t feel right. This isn’t about me - it’s about the black and people of color humans that I call friends, who I admire, who are part of the same community and all live on this earth. 🤍 But I have to admit my part and my faults here as well. I have to admit that I’ve been part of the problem for much too long. I’ve been part of the problem because I’ve been too scared and fearful to use my voice - the voice that was born with power simply because I was born with white skin color. 🤍 I was scared because I didn’t want to get called out. Because I didn’t want to say something wrong and offend anyone. I was scared of losing my following if I got political (trust me, it’s steadily declining anyway). Yea, I was scared. 🤍 And while I would have always denied being racist, silence and turning of my head inherently makes me racist. There, I said it. 🤍 But you know what? Our society, friends and neighbors can’t afford silence any longer. I will not be silent and ignorant any more. I know I might not say/do things that will 100% please everyone, but I know that I’m moving forward with good intentions, am digging deep into educating myself, donating some money to important organizations, signing petitions and not shying away from the difficult conversations. I don’t even think this scratches the surface of the important work that needs to be done for all non-white humans on our planet. Even writing that, I question if that’s the right thing to say; non-white humans? 🤍 You see, I’m going to fumble as I’m only human. And that’s OK. Just as it’s ok for you to fumble too...that’s how we learn and grow. By leaning into the difficult things that seem scary. 🤍 I just want to let all of the black and people of color humans I know that I see you. And I’m sorry for being complacent, naive and silent all of these years. These photos, along with many more, have been what occupy my feed these days. Not much else feels relevant TBH.」6月1日 1時59分
