@jaketapper asked black guests "what do we do about this?" Question is, "what do YOU do about this?" Racism is a white people's problem. It's white men who pulled a public lynching. It is your relatives who are brutalizing black lives. You have the power to end this nightmare.

@jaketapper, one thing you can start doing right now is to use the correct language. For too long language has been used as a weapon against black folks. eg, George Lloyd didn't just die. He was murdered.
@jaketapper, you could also resist the urge to lecture black folks about rioting. I've yet to hear any condemnation of murderous cops on CNN. These are not "rogue cops;" this is a systemic problem. There were 5/6 cops on the scene and not one of them interceded on Lloyd's behalf.
