How are you handling police sympathizers/apathetic social media behaviors from professional connections? I have been purging EVERYBODY who pulls the “all lives matter” or “I support our police” card, but when it comes to industry connections idk how to handle it. I don’t want anything to do with them and want to do my part as a non-POC to call them out, but my city’s agency scene is so small & close knit I wouldn’t want to be blacklisted or make an enemy. How have you been approaching this?

So let me get this straight, you’re purging all friends and/or relatives who have a different view point than you, rather than seeking to understand the other side and/or use it as an opportunity for you to help them understand your point of view? And now you’re also thinking of doing the same with your professional connections? You sound really mature. Lol

If you want the hard answer... part of using your privilege to make change means doing so even when it’s hard for you. So if you’d normally speak up or cut ties but now you’re afraid it might damage you professionally, you’re only trying to be an ally when it’s comfortable for you. Something to think about.
