Jun 2018

for some sort of celebration for doing what is right and what is just.

Why does the topic have to become how great some white people are as opposed to how racism still is prevalent in our society.

Are some white people great advocates against racism? Yes.

Are all? No!

Just because one white person is standing up, or some white people are standing up, does it mean that all white people are standing up against racism?

No!

Are there still many white people who need to wake up to this travesty? Yes.

Does it mean that none have? No.

This isn't rocket science.
