6 simple questions to tell if a ‘finfluencer’ is more flash than cash 
Emma Watson is known to be a staunch supporter of human rights with a focus on feminism. She has, however, disappointed many with her response to the George Floyd death caused by police brutality in Minneapolis.
The Harry Potter star had posted three black squares with a white border on her Instagram account, and with the hashtags Blackout Tuesday, The Show Must Be Paused, Amplify Melanated Voices and Amplify Black Voices. Nothing else.
The post divided her 57.1 million followers, with some saying that her participation in the Black Tuesday movement was ineffective.
Interestingly, the 30-year-old Watson had earlier shared three white squares on her Instagram and did not put a caption or any explanation on what the post was about.
Some followers are saying that her post was all for aesthetic purposes taking offense with the white border that she used to enclose the three black squares because it was only to match her other posts.
Others took issue on why she did not share any information on the issue, or that she could have put links to fundraisers or petitions pertaining to racism.
Some followers, however, stayed loyal and defended their idol, saying that she has been an activist and had been using her voice for other's cause for several years already.
They pointed out her support for feminism and have lent her voice to the blacks long before it became a trend.
Several other celebrities have waded into the Black Tuesday movement, which was initiated by music executives Brianna Agyemang and Jamila Thomas aimed at calling for policy changes to address continuing police brutality against the blacks.
Floyd died from the injuries that he suffered when police officer Derek Chauvin had pressed his knee on the back of his neck while he was lying on the ground. Floyd had died later in the hospital where he was brought after he fell unconscious.
Floyd’s brother Terrence is calling for a positive change after several protests erupted in big US cities following his brother’s death.
