I understand the sentiment but really dislike how important n impactful you make the act of a white man simply posting an ig story with no comments or mention of the cause of victim's death . I assure you none of harrys millions of followers would be in the dark about the situation without harry posting a simple ig story which would vanish in 24 hours considering loads of celebs n media is spreading actual awareness about this

Like idk this post just sounds like "be grateful that harry did something and yall should be happy at the crumbs thrown at you". Black fans wanting harry to express something of more emotion and substance than a generic ig story which doesnt even raise awareness about police brutality isnt wrong since harry has shown capability to educate Himself about these things.

Spreading awareness about these things means nothing if the gesture doesn't come off as genuine. By that logic ppl like kendall jenner should be applauded for posting a string of heartbreak emojis about this topic
hey, i’m having a little trouble understanding the issues you’ve brought up. the point of my post was to recognize that scrutiny and debate over “a white man’s” actions takes away from the actual action itself. i agree with you that many of harry’s followers are probably aware of the situation and are also (hopefully) doing what they can to promote this movement of change. but why should their prior knowledge and awareness negate harry’s action? i don’t understand why harry using social media to disseminate information is automatically a bad thing considering he really hasn’t done anything like this before IN DIRECT RESPONSE to something that’s just happened. yes, we can argue about if his efforts have just stopped there. we can speculate his intentions all we want. we shouldn’t laud him for it because it truly is the bare minimum, but what good does that do? what good does that do in regards to any celebrity? why are we holding them accountable instead of focusing on the REAL issue at hand, which is so much bigger than an instagram post? are we to look at a post like that (not just from him, but from any celebrity) and be like “oh, well I already knew that, tell me about something else.” like you said, he’s shown the capability to educate himself, and i think a lot of people appreciate him showing that he knows and he sees and he supports what’s going on when this isn’t a normal thing for him, which is unfortunate, but i think it’s worth giving him credit. and like i said, things like this shouldn’t be treated as a benchmark for advocacy when there’s a real tragedy involved. everyone just wants to do their part. trust me, there have been plenty of instances where he’s done disappointing things and i’ve called him out for it. this is an instance where he’s done something to support a movement, so i’m not going to sit here and find something to nitpick. if you have a problem, i urge you to think deeply about whether your issues are true contributions or detriments. 
also. nowhere in my post did i say that this is “just something that black fans should be grateful for.” that’s horribly insensitive and i would NEVER insinuate something like that, especially being from a marginalized population myself. from your blog, i can see that you’re also south asian, so you get it. your frustrations are valid, as are mine. ultimately, though, the frustrations of black men and women are the most important, and those are the ones we should be listening to. im not trying to argue with you, but i just wanted to address this. if you want to talk more, just message me!
