ALL FELLOW WHITE PEOPLE:
remember when we were 8 and learned about slavery and asked how that possibly happened? when we said that WE would never have allowed something so horrible to happen? if you& #39;re looking around without doing something right now, you& #39;re one of those people.

"doing something" can be so many things. step one is educating yourself. being white it& #39;s so easy to look the other way or rationalize the daily violence and racism around us. you are going to have to teach yourself out of it. I& #39;ll add some links with resources to do that.

check out this thread for starters: https://twitter.com/thebryreed/status/1266071139115241473?s=21">https://twitter.com/thebryree...

step 2 is speaking out. white silence & white apathy are tools of comfort that keep us from having to do anything hard. it puts racism on the Black community and says it& #39;s their problem, not ours. it is hard to speak out especially if your peers don& #39;t seem to care. DO IT ANYWAY.

then, put your money where your mouth is. it& #39;s easy to say "I& #39;m not racist" and call it a day. if you mean it, prove it. donate to this relief fund and other organizations working to dismantle the ongoing problems in America https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate ">https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate&qu...

IT& #39;S HARD TO ADMIT to yourself that you& #39;ve been complicit in a society that doesn& #39;t value Black lives (& lots of other lives). BUT it& #39;s immeasurably harder to live in a society that doesn& #39;t value you. suck it up, admit that you& #39;ve done wrong (actively or passively), and change!
