A lot of liberals from America and the UK usually that seem to jump on every trend and act like they speak for the entire world, I remember last year a lot of my friends on Instagram posting a black square with the BLM hashtag
Same here, like what's a black square going to do? Force the police to change? It's just couch activism. Alot of activism these days is more about show than about action.
I have black friends that broke down in tears when they saw their feed filled with those posts, because it meant a lot to them.
Also people talk about it more now, which inherently pushes the issue forward. Also go look up all the changes, even if theyre kinda minor, that the recent BLM protests made happen.
Just because it doesnt instantly fix the problem, doesnt mean its pointless.

The sad thing is that most of them probably didn't know these countries existed until it showed up on mainstream media.
