White moms, if you are not actively talking to your kids about how to be antiracist, you need to get going.

We have always been part of the problem. We have a chance to break that legacy.

I’m horrified by Amy Cooper and all of her ilk. And let’s not forget: hate is taught.
And I should add: white moms raising white kids. My moms in multi-racial families, I have learned and continue to learn so much from you. XO
And I honor every mom raising a child of color who has had to warn her kids from an early age on how to avoid getting shot by police, in part because of white women like her.

I’m so horrified.
Reminder: Emmet Till, a fourteen year old boy, was lynched in 1955 because a white woman naked Carolyn Bryant falsely accused him of accosting her.

Amy Cooper is Carolyn Bryant’s legacy.

It’s our work to end this. OUR WORK.
*named* gah I’m so angry I can’t type.
To the white moms tagging James Woods in this thread, you plainly don’t know who you’re talking to. That racist POS has been blocked here for years.
ALSO: if you do not have an understanding of systemic and institutional racism, but instead assume that racism is an interpersonal affront, scroll up. You’ve got a lot of reading to do.
Welcome, bots. You will he blocked as soon as you post.
I have a lot of recommendations on what to follow on Twitter as well, but not posting them on this thread.

Not raining down bot-hate tonight.
So defensive, some of you who are dads. Of course you should be teaching this as well. If the header tweet threatens you, you’ve got work to do on your misogyny as well.
You can follow @ECMcLaughlin.
