I am a white woman.
I cannot sit silently.
I cannot ‘reason’ this out.
I watched a black man
die under the knee of
a white police officer.
A few weeks ago a
black man was murdered
while out running by white men.
A few months ago a
black woman was murdered
in her own home by a
white police officer.
There is no ‘reasoning’ this.
There is no justification for this.
There is no excuse for this.
These are Americans-
Our brothers and sisters
Slaughtered over and over.
How can I stay silent?!…
It is barbaric
It is cruel
It is unjust
IT HAS TO STOP.
I think I finally understand
‘white privilege’
it doesn’t mean I was
given more, it means
I am not seen as ‘less’.
A white woman does wrong
and is called on it by a black man.
She whips out her phone and threatens to call police
and tell them she is being harassed
by a black man. That is white privilege.
No one ever got to chose their birth-ever!
I see you
In whatever glorious color you are-
I see you and I respect you-
No matter your shade of skin or any
other ‘identifier’.
Are you decent?
Are you kind?
Are you honorable?
these are the ‘qualifiers’-
Skin color is not.
We the people
are supposed to stand
for EQUALITY for all.
Why is it so hard?
It isn’t hard
It’s easy-
IF…
White America-wake up-please
support every American in search
of OUR DREAM…
Freedom, equality, and peace…
