More Amber
f(x)’s Amber shared an email template for people to use when writing to officials to call for justice following the death of George Floyd. She has also retweeted news about George Floyd’s autopsy results that state his death was due to asphyxia from sustained forced pressure, as well as the news that police officer Derek Chauvin’s charges have been increased from third degree murder to second degree and the other three officers are being charged.
She deleted her tweets, but this is what they said:
- "Sorry everyone, i made a mistake in my last tweet. The prewritten email in this link written to the elected officials to get justice for George Floyd.
Other than your name & where your from please edit “manslaughter” to “FIRST DEGREE MURDER"
- "From my last tweet, its a template and you can edit it. That is just how i chose to use it. It has been brought to my attention a first degree murder charge is ambitious, but that is what i believe. Thank you for your comments & i appreciate the discussion we are able to have."


Monsta X


BTS



ATEEZ
In Korean, the post reads, “We’re all different colors although we get the same light. There’s no responsibility in colors.” These words are from member Hongjoong’s rap in a previous cover of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.”

I honestly laughed seeing Sorn's along with posts from anyone else that I know has actively done something anti-black racist. Mark from Got7 and his n-word saying friends. Almost the entire k hip-hop community. Amber Liu with her understand cops bullshit. I could go on and on but the point is, if you can't even acknowledge what you have done and how you've grown and changed since then, this performative show really means nothing.

Honestly someone should make a post with each of these artist's personal injustices towards black people, lol. There are a lot to choose from. Jessi and Jay Park's entire careers. VIXX Ravi making colorist jokes about his member N for years. Everything about BTS. I totally agree, its performative if they cant even come clean and admit their own fuckups.
