I'm Not Racist, My Best Square is Black!

The Black Square was interesting because it engaged something different entirely, but ended with identical results. Instead of borrowing black pain then returning it because it’s overwhelming (as allyship fatigue does) the black square doesn’t even pretend to help. It’s digital, ephemeral, and unaccountable. It’s an ironic badge that actively drowned out the voices of black people while loudly protesting the silencing of black people.
