I've been afraid to say anything for fear of sounding performative or inauthentic. But I really gotta get over that. #BlackLivesMatter

It's hard to see privilege for what it is when you're in it. Because it's all you know. You're so invested in your own comfort that anything threatening it feels offensive and wrong.

You brush it aside or lash out. Some people get ironically detached. Anything that lets you live without having to acknowledge your privilege in any real way.

I've really tried to educate myself this week on these issues cuz school never did. I recommend "Notes of a Native Son" by James Baldwin and "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. They both smacked me in the face.

This problem runs DEEP. You know it runs deep. You KNOW that. But it's easier to sit there and let it slide by again. To stay silent because you're not confident in what you know. You're afraid of sounding racist or uneducated.

Slavery has a long, long tail. Our criminal justice system was built to keep black people and other people of color at a subhuman level. It's sick. And we have the world's dumbest man as president stoking it all.

If you're not outraged, you're wrong. If you're not sick to your stomach, you're broken. Wake up. Don't let this be another upsetting video that floats by and leaves you feeling sad until the next one surfaces online. Get uncomfortable.

Let's overhaul the system. Lose Trump. I'm sorry for being silent. I'm here with you. I'm listening. Let's go. Donate if you can https://www.joincampaignzero.org/#vision
