Yo, white people

Yo, white people.

Call attention to problems by participating in protest marches. But solve the problems by actions, even small ones. The next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day.

Do your elected representatives know how you feel?

Do you have a friend who is black?

Have you hugged a person of color?

Have you taught or nursed a black person?

Have you socialized with a black person in your own home?

Have you had a boss who is a person of color?

Did you ever pass a black person on the street and call him “Sir”?

Does a black family live on your block?

Have you read a book by an author of color?

Have you addressed a prejudice that you didn’t even think you had?

Does your compassion and generosity extend to people of color?
