An apparently well-intentioned effort to post black boxes on social for Blackout Tuesday has backfired spectacularly.<br />Blackout Tuesday was originally meant to raise awareness about systemic racism and police brutality that resulted in the deaths of George Floyd and countless others.<br />Unfortunately, black boxes posted all over social media meant critical information related to the Black Lives Matter movement was eclipsed.<br />According to Gizmodo, the outcome could have been an unintended consequence. But some are wondering if it was done purposefully, by opposing forces.<br />Those who wish to make more concrete gestures can always donate to the families of the victims or contribute to bail money funds for protesters.
