Art & Protest: Creatives Respond To Racism & Police Brutality:
Artist Rinny Perkins created a massive Instagram following for herself with '70s-inspired graphic designs that empower women of color. Thus she spoke her mind on what it means to be a good ally;"Real interesting to see non-black 'friends' go about their days as normal as if urging non-black people to speak up and utilize their privilege to fight injustices against black people doesn’t apply to them...
Use your privilege to do the work. Not just when it’s a trending hashtag. If your activism stops after 48 hours, it’s not activism. It’s performative allyship theatre."Of the work pictured above, Thomas said,"I drew this when I saw footage of that Black couple being yanked out of their car and tased.
