honestly this is really not the time to be reblogging things from to kill a mockingbird or the hunger games. connecting the works of yt ppl (esp those that continue to focus on yt ppl) to irl racism is messy to begin with but it really has no place rn. exercise some sensitivity in reblogging in the light of anti-black racism of today’s ferguson non-indictment. 

based on comments about the hunger games especially, we have repeatedly seen folks find it easier to sympathize with fictional white people than actual black people

let’s not do that shit again. this is antiblackness, this is extrajudicial murder and modern-day lynching, this is state-sponsored terrorism that affects real people and murders real people; let’s not make it about FICTION right now, especially not fictional white people for christ’s sake
