I woke up this morning looking disheartened after seeing and sharing several videos of black people being abused by cops during the protests. My mom asked me why I looked sad.

"Do you know about what's going on right now?"

"No."

THAT'S what white privilege looks like

I want to give an update on this thread because I think it's important not just to acknowledge privilege and ignorance, but to do something about it. Since this happened, I've sat down with my mom and she's seen media coverage as well as footage taken by protesters, has attended

a Zoom panel with several black activists speaking about the current protests, and has made a sign posting her own support in our front window. It's not hard to take a few minutes to educate yourself and learn to do better.
