Dear white people, if I may, to be shocked at our current events only cements how privileged we have been. Some things I've learned from reading #TearsWeCannotStop. White complacency is no longer an option. Racism and bigotry can be uncomfortable ugly things to grapple with but if we don't address it we reinforce the privilege of not having to face the truth. "Them not me" denies how the problem persists today. There's no room or time to reinforce the white fragility or willful ignorance that leads us to excuse ourselves from the conversation. The need to be emotionally mature and curious about race is not an attack on our identity. The vitality of our democracy depends on us waking up. The smallest gesture of simply having the humility to acknowledge our privilege and have the difficult or uncomfortable conversations with each other and people around us who may have a defensive or antiquated way of seeing things is a start. It is, in fact, a matter of life and death. UPDATE: Dear white people does not make me a divider or an ideologue nor is it pathetic LA liberal crap. What is it that offends you so much about that? It's a plea and a call to a group of people that have the power to make a real difference. To realize that we have a responsibility to stand up and fight for what's right. To stay quiet would be complicit in the division you speak of.. In no way am I an expert on the matter. It has taken a lot of sitting down and reading, having an open mind, and uncomfortable conversations with people who knew more and experienced more than I have to acknowledge that, just like you, I've struggled and have made a life for myself out of "absolutely nothing". There's no need to be defensive. No one is calling you racist. Let's just work a little harder to see the inequality if we're all truly so hell bent on fixing it.
