Becky Popiel: I firmly disagree with your last post as someone whose queer AND mexican if we’re not stewards of our community than who will be them? The white people? Surelyyyy you dont want white people educating other white people on racism, thats never worked before. I get what your saying about pay, trust me i dont think anyone should work for free. But it is our job to educate others, if its not us educating, with personal experience then it leaves room for our history, experiences and futures to be skewed. Just food for thought
Theres plenty of folks who believe its not our job to educate white folks
Judith: Its up to you. If you have the
energy and strength you do you
Becky Popiel: Which i do im mot afraid
Judith: Also if you read my post and his ask
Becky Popiel: Ill put anyone in there place cause im super fucking Resilient
Judith: It was a me consulting for free
Becky Popiel: Oh i read your full post lol
Judith: Good on you.
Becky Popiel: Like i said i dont think anyone should work for free i stated that above
But like if wer not gonna talk about it socially who will?
Your post makes it sound like you don’t want to educate anybody whether it’s paid or not it seems like you couldn’t fucking be bothered to be honest and that’s the part that I didn’t like And if you dont wanna be bothered thats fine
Judith: No, i said i didnt want to do it for free
Becky Popiel: But then maybe u shouldnt build an insta on being black and
outdoors
Jidith: Ans we dont have to agrew
You do you and i do me
Becky Popiel: Like your whole Instagram is built around your race and being out the doors
Theres nothing really special about that so i get why brands approach u like they do
I have it the other way around I built my entire Instagram I’m being authentic so I get opportunities that are paid to talk about being gay and Mexican. Honestly no one’s ever approached me to talk about race unpaid
Judith: I said im not talking for free
Becky Popiel: Its the way you carry yourself online. I reread our last convo… when u didnt put waterstamps on your photos and was butthurt someone else used them…you kinda bring it on yourself dude
Right and so I don’t talk for free I get paid to do it but my Instagram comes off completely different than yours and doesn’t even mention race or being gay I live completely authentically and that’s why I have the opportunities to be paid to talk about the hard stuff
Judith: Wow. This out of nowhere coming at me like that
Becky Popiel: I was taught that if you have the same responses to your actions and you’re doing something wrong.
It seems like alot of brands approach you to be the token… but you also give off that vibe with what you post…maybe reshape how you want to be perceived and you’ll find different opportunities that are paid
Hahaha
Judith: You funny
Okay
Thank you for you thought
Becky Popiel: I know its mad funny the
mexican giving the black advice
Who woulda thought
Yall were atleast let into
America. (comment from us – Becky referring to trans-Atlantic slavery as “Black people were at least let into America”)
Oh i always fo me
Your the one posting cant get mad when someone replies
But I do appreciate you you
seem to fuckin get a knack for
being token
Judith: Im good. Thank you and have a wonderful day
Not a token
Becky Popiel: You showed me that anybody of color can be mediocre at the sports and still have an Instagram that goes off so thank you
Nah u showed me how to play the race card bro
So stoked for u
So grateful for you
Judith: Take a moment to read other black womens responses
Becky Popiel: I did lollll
I get it but you also literally show all people of color that you can be super average at action sports and just cause your a minority will get opportunities
I read all the comments
I wasn’t gonna reply to any of them because you people love the fucking cancel people
All right if we’re talking about raise tell me why canceling came from the black community
Race*
Like post more photos of you sending shit to prove to
everyone your not token
Judith: If you dont like my post you can unfollow..
Becky Popiel: Nah i support women of color weather your milking it or not. Post some gnar lines anyone can hit those bike jumps in the bike park u ride
Judith: Dont need elistist shit.. so once again, peace to you
Becky Popiel: Lol im not elitest im just being real with u. Sorry u cant handle the truth. But thank you for showing all people of color that even if you arent good you’ll still get opportunities cause theres not many of us in these sports
For real im grateful that you can show people that shit.
Or maybe you stopped her from killing herself who knows but visibility is visibility
