I’m not very active on social media, does this make me a racist currently?

Question

I rarely post on Instagram and Facebook and when I do it’s a photo of my kids or a milestone. I’m white and am by no means racist, but I’m seeing many people online write that people’s silence is just as bad. 
I don’t think that’s fair, I am just not very vocal online and I’d rather take in what others are posting than try to act like I know anything about black culture and the respect it deserves. 
Thoughts?
Update: I have donated, I have signed petitions and then shared those on my Facebook once I signed. I am reading what people are sharing and for everyone to assume that I am not caring because I am not doing this black out post is stupid. My family isn’t racist but i would speak up if someone acted that way. Like I said, I rarely post anything so I’m not on there sharing my food and clothes. I like to do things privately. I am not the kind of person to make a donation or a good deed and then advertise it for attention. Not everything needs to be shared on social media.

Answer

If you’re already not active? I don’t see that as bad. I’m not very active, but I’ve posted a few times about it, as well as linked petitions to sign and places to donate. 
But I know a lot of people who are ALWAYS on social media, and since this has started they’ve been completely silent. That just rubs me the wrong way. You had no problem constantly posting your breakfast to your story, but not racial injustice? Idk to me it just kind of shows where your priorities are. 
**But FULL DISCLAIMER: I am white. I would take my opinion with a grain of salt and listen more to what POC are saying on the matter. I haven’t read through the comments yet, but if they’re saying it’s problematic even if you’re not very active, I’d start posting.

Answer

I see the silence is just as bad as those who are still taking pictures of their food, brand new outfits, and whatever else. To ignore and continue to post is wrong imo.

This is anonymous and will probably get removed. I will say I think it’s interesting that you posted here, basically wanting people to come comfort you and tell you you’re not racist. Fine, you aren’t. But is there a reason with everything going on that you don’t care to at least read or self-educate about it? 
As for people calling out “silence” on social media...well they’re probably referring to people who document their lives 24/7 but feel uncomfortable speaking out about important current affairs. That’s their opinion and I don’t think they’re wrong for that...people are fed up. You can rationalize your own social media as you wish

Answer

I feel like that's an excuse you don't have to be active on social media to say something you can have a conversation with your family if someone makes a racist joke you can correct them and say " you can't do that your joke was rude and wrong" you can correct your friends if they also make a racist joke you can sign a petition or donate to many blm organizations you can make a sign and take a picture of it and post it on here you can teach your kids give them a real conversation about what's going on in the world. You not being active on social media is an excuse there is plenty you can do but just don't stay silence
