"We contribute a lot to the world and we ranked [...] at the very top in quality of life indicators -- life expectancy, personal income, educational attainment, home ownership. But when you disaggregate that, there& #39;s not just a little gap, we go 1st to 50th if you& #39;re Black."
"We need to make sure that you don& #39;t die for a traffic stop. We need to make sure there& #39;s mental -- more mental health counselors out. That we can& #39;t let these things sit and not move, and I think that& #39;s the work that has to happen."
"We& #39;re a wealthy state with resources, and the commitment of folks, it& #39;s just this insidious nature that people don& #39;t see it and it& #39;s right in front of us. And I think that& #39;s the work that needs to happen."
"I just have to say, we& #39;re trying to make sure we don& #39;t see our cities burned. This is that catch-22. The more police are there, the more tension it is. The more tension it is, the more chance you have to get things."
And I think my job is going to be -- and I don& #39;t expect it to be easy -- is to try and draw back away from those divisions that we have, because all -- just like you see across the country, Minnesota is divided and it& #39;s divided geographically. It& #39;s divided racially."
"And we see that the end of all that is police in the streets, national guards in the streets, tensions, families ruined, and a city, state, and country on edge. And so, for me, it& #39;s making sure I& #39;m hearing those communities and making sure that we& #39;re willing." @GovTimWalz
"Let& #39;s try something different. Let& #39;s be bold. Let& #39;s put things out there. And let the community show us the direction to go because they& #39;re ready." @GovTimWalz
"And just be candid with you, we can& #39;t be denying the right to vote to Black communities when they& #39;re saying, thank God we& #39;re able to vote for somebody like Keith Ellison to be the Attorney General. Those are the things that bring real change. So, we& #39;ve got work to do."

Iâve been in an exchange related to this thread from earlier in the week that I want to use as an opportunity for all of us to learn.... https://twitter.com/cultureclap/status/1385991152143323142">https://twitter.com/culturecl...
Canin makes valid points about white people saying good words and not actually being about the work.
I am more familiar with this problem than I care to be.
And I donât know enough about Walz to say if thatâs who he is, but I still want to amplify his message from that night. https://twitter.com/operaqueenie/status/1385998606285479939">https://twitter.com/operaquee...
