Britney shows support for Black Lives Matter and will participate in Blackout Tuesday

Just after BH's thread was shared on social media

Well, I think it's a nice message, nothing controversial or pretentious. 

[Hungry Hun]

Good she spoke about it. The message was simple and felt genuine. Some celebs/artists just lost it trying to do so.

You guys asked, she did it.

I am so proud and happy that she used her voice towards something really important. 
 

I did not know JL is a trump supporter,  Did she say anything about it during the election year ?  
I am not trying to take this thread to a negative way and I am just curious. 

Never outwardly said anything, but I think her husband has. She made a comment on something she agreed with that he said. I can’t remember

Im so happy she chose to say something, love you Brinny

Finally Britney (or Lou)

My heart breaks for the black community right now. I will never truly understand what it feels like to live in the states as an African American person and to suffer the racism and injustice that they do, but what I, Brittney, and any other privileged person in this country can do is keep our ears open, speak out against it, and take action where we can to help. 
 

I do believe that this was a sincere message from Britney and not one she felt pressured to make. As fans of hers, we know where her heart lies and that she is anything but a racist. Deciding to wait until she felt comfortable doing so does not make her one. 
 

I can fully understand why people wanted her to speak though. So many of us are hurting right now and to know 100% that she is standing with everyone during this is a comforting thought.

Short . Sweet . Effective . Unproblematic and straight forward message . I was afraid she'd post some dumb stuff like madonna 

But Britney's pure which makes her an unproblematic speaker 

[ShuckleNeverDies]

Thats a perfectly decent post coming from a celebrity. You go, Britney!

[PrinceEric]

Good post, Britney! I’m glad she said something.

“Britney is racist!”

I can’t believe people were actually saying that because she was being quiet until now.  Smh.  Even though I think it was her choice to speak out or stay silent (it doesn’t mean she isn’t supportive if she chose the latter), I’m glad she said something.  Not to shut all the naysayers up, but to truly show her support during an unfortunate time in our history.  I think sometimes she forgets the kind of impact she can have because she truly is just so humble.  Love her.

the picture with the dancers made me so emotional. Why people has to die for the color of their skin? is so sick.

This is the only time I am glad she is not using her platform to promote her "new" song. Bless your heart, Britney 

[BlackoutInTheCircus]

This post really came across as genuine and a sincere attempt to spread awareness from Britney , so proud of her for using her platform like this 

[PARKBOM]

I’m sorry I said “Thank you Lou”

Thank you Britney for speaking up.

Hopefully the rest of the celebrities do as well.

I'm going to answer your question via DM so as to avoid derailing the thread…

Aaand here it is. The one thing I was concerned about in regards to her posting anything about it.

 

Anyway, I'm very pleased that she spoke out. As a black woman who's been a lifelong fan, it means a lot. A whole lot. And her words were on point too.

Why is racism still a thing in 2020
