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& #39;s going on right now?"

"No."

THAT& #39;S what white privilege looks like

I want to give an update on this thread because I think it& #39;s important not just to acknowledge privilege and ignorance, but to do something about it. Since this happened, I& #39;ve sat down with my mom and she& #39;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& #39;s not hard to take a few minutes to educate yourself and learn to do better.
