Since becoming an organizer, I feel like I& #39;ve been trying to educate myself more and more about systemic racism and injustice in this country. From the multiple murders of Black people, I do not personally know a single Black person that has shared these videos. (A long thread)
I don& #39;t want to trigger anyone by posting these violent videos and I definitely don& #39;t need to see a video in my feed to know that white people aren& #39;t doing enough to fight systemic racism and that just seeing these videos is enough justice. It& #39;s not.
. @MsPackyetti said on an Instagram live interview a few weeks ago that white people really need to put their money where their mouth is and put their time and energy into this. And our actions 100% speak louder than words.
The worst part about all of this right now is that we& #39;re also in the middle of a neverending pandemic. Black people aren& #39;t just dying of white people killing them. They& #39;re also dying at an alarming rate of #COVID19. And the racial income gap is growing rapidly as well.
Meanwhile, white people without masks on are 100% ignoring their privilege and endangering themselves and the people around them, especially people of color when they don& #39;t wear masks. We aren& #39;t coming together enough to support marginalized people.
White people: we must do better. I know that this thread is not enough. The systemic racism and injustice in this country is one big reason why I got into organizing and one reason why I supported a candidate with a strong plan for Black America. https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/agenda-black-america">https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/age...
