        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eminem has joined the cause.</p><p>The 47-year-old rapper announced that his music studio, Shady Records, will be participating in the #BlackoutTuesday campaign, <strong>a movement that started within the music industry to symbolize standing against racial injustice</strong>. The day has been widely accepted by the public and other businesses, many of whom are posting plain black squares on their social-media pages to support <strong>the Black Lives Matter movement</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;We will be closed on Black Out Tuesday. Join us in fighting for change,&#8221; the New York City-based record company wrote <a href="https://twitter.com/ShadyRecords/status/1267301829441880066?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on Twitter</a>. &#8220;On this day we will dedicate our time and efforts to help prevent social injustice and explore ways to assist in the fight against racial inequality.&#8221;</p><p>A graphic included in the post urges fans to donate to the NAACP, the Southern Poverty Law Center and Black Lives Matter, as well as sign petitions &#8220;in support of justice&#8221; for Breonna Taylor, <strong>George Floyd</strong> and Ahmaud Arbery.</p><p>Artists including Bad Meets Evil, D12, Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf are signed with Shady.</p><p>But not all in the music industry think #BlackoutTuesday is an effective way to contribute to the social movement.</p><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the movement has ever been this powerful. We don&#8217;t need to slow it down by posting nothing. We need to spread info and be as loud as ever,&#8221; wrote Lil Nas X on <a href="https://twitter.com/LilNasX/status/1267715177870286849?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a>.</p><p>Some community leaders are upset that those posting black squares to signal their support with #BlackoutTuesday are using the hashtag <strong>#BlackLivesMatter</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;When you post your black square please don&#8217;t use the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter,&#8221; said Lizzo in an <strong>Instagram video</strong>. &#8220;It is flooding the hashtag search with just black pictures instead of information.&#8221;</p><p>Kehlani also posted about the danger of the blackout on the hashtag. &#8220;when people click that hashtag, they need to see what&#8217;s going on. they need to see it harshly, vividly, accurately, in their faces,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/Kehlani/status/1267708689072287744?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote on Twitter</a>.</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">i don’t like this <strong>https://t.co/jHDxvdijfn</strong></p><p>&mdash; Kehlani (@Kehlani) <a href="https://twitter.com/Kehlani/status/1267707163473936384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 2, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></div>]]></content:encoded>
