K-Pop Fans Drown Out Racists By Co-Opting #WhiteLivesMatter On Twitter And Instagram

Korean pop fans have reclaimed the #WhiteLivesMatter from racists on both Twitter and Instagram—tagging posts of K-popstars, in a display of global solidarity with those protesting for racial equality in the United States.... [+]The K-pop fans from around the world—a massive force on social media—are acting as allies with Black Lives Matter, by hashtagging #whitelivesmatter on videos, photos and written statuses featuring Korean pop icons on both Twitter and Instagram.

Other hashtags are being overwhelmed with pop music and peaceful content, like the hashtag #bluelivesmatter, which has also been used in opposition to the #blacklivesmatter movement and to emphasize support for police but has been repurposed for appreciation of blue cartoon characters like Blues Clues and Sonic the Hedgehog.White Lives Matter has been a racist movement in response to the Black Lives Matter movement for equal opportunity, civil rights and justice for black Americans.

This is not the first move of global solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement—people gathered in Paris, London, Auckland, Copenhagen, Tokyo in the last couple days—to show solidarity with those protesting the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in police custody and advocating for racial equality.

Icant tell if kpop r girls.or guys...its alittle confusing....oh wait wait gengerfluid is the term for them i wasnt aware

I wonder what that would have meant if it were a rightist group trending the hashtag.

Hasta yo soy más guapo que esa mierda

What's a K-pop? I'm realizing how dangerous this www/social platform world can be. I'm not afraid of Covid-19. It astounds me that the entire world doesn't realize that there are parts of the US that have gone about business as usual, albeit slowly & carefully.

Everything is confusing

Why can’t All mean All? It’s much less complicated.

What is a K-Pop?

It is not 'white' lives that are being snuffed out in police custody or are the ones experiencing systemic institutional racism.

KPOP IS FCKN DUMB

Good...this is to be done..

Love you K-Pop fans for doing this 😀💯
