#AliveWhileBlack is the heartbreaking response to #CrimingWhileWhite

The hashtag #CrimingWhileWhite became a platform to illustrate what often happens when white people engage in criminal activity. It was a powerful moment, as white people openly acknowledged that they don’t face nearly the same punishment or brutality experienced by their black counterparts. But despite the good intentions of those who participated, many others felt like the hashtag detracted from conversations about the value of black lives.

In response to that first trending hashtag, Jamilah Lemieux, senior digital editor for Ebony magazine, started #AliveWhileBlack.

Fucking really? This reblogged by someone I thought was decent? Because yeah, let’s mock non-binary teens who are trying to figure out their gender! Let’s mock people having panic attacks and other adverse reactions to things which remind them of awful shit that’s happened to them!
