If we don't support black lives as white people we are just as guilty of perpetuating the norm and nothing will ever change.

I said "Of course parity is a great starting point" Kizzy. I don't really think it is a "first step" though... I'm nowhere near enough of an optimist to believe that consumerism will ever be "fixed" or that global exploitation will ever end (until it ALL ends). Play the game the best you can I guess. Some people need to continue trying, I suppose, for their own existential well-being and that's fine. Small improvements can't hurt.
