To all my non people of color friends, family, and associates: Be the answer to the issues of hate & racism taught and indirectly learned from those before you. It's not our issue to resolve but yours! Stand against oppression in the face of your white family & friends.
YOUR SILENCE CONDONES SUCH BEHAVIOUR!!!!
If the thought of watching your dad r**e someone or your mom throw a baby in the trash bothers you, that same level of disgust and anger should rise when you see your parents commit a racist act towards someone of color.
You wouldn't just turn the other way! You wouldn't ask, "well what did they do to get rapped?" You wouldn't just stand there and watch!! YOU'D DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, the analogy is extreme in order for you to open your eyes to how we people of color (especially African Americans) see white people unjustly killing black people without penalty. Its disgusting and we're angry because we're tired of it.
So my charge to you is DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE INJUST! DO SOMETHING TO DECLARE YOU STAND FOR HUMANITY! DO SOMETHING THAT SAYS YOU'RE ENDING RACISM IN YOUR FAMILY TODAY!!!
We all have platforms, how are you using yours?
