Well said

I've had many of these conversations over the past several months. And I've been trying to sharpen my perspective on this problem, the problem of the "how do I help," question. I offer these comments with compassion and great respect for your commitment to children and families:

Just help. Just do what your…

lol yes god bless the future of every single person who reads this and immediately ricochets into "BUT WHAT ABOUT ME"

To think someone can benefit from white privilege for decades and to be raised the product of an obviously un-equal society and not to let that seep in is kind of ridiculous.

Every time I read an article explaining how white people who think they are helping really aren't... this is the response from so many white people. "I don't know what to do then, maybe I should just do nothing?" If we stay inactive with the excuse of "not accidentally making things worse," we're letting the racist…

Yeah, I think that we, as white people, HAVE to step away from the idea that racism is something intentional and conscious and deliberately cruel/prejudicial/harmful. It's so much more than that narrow set of racist actions, and it's absolutely true that we are ALL racist in that we have all internalized these ideas…

In life, it's generally a good rule of thumb to remember that it's actually RARELY about you.

Did you even read this? Nobody is asking you to apologize. This isn't about you. The fact that you managed to be offended by this piece is a testament to just how much you don't get it.

You have some work to do. If you think kindness is the limit of what is needed to stop mass death of Black teenagers, you have some work to do. If you think the primary meaning of this essay was that you should apologize for something, or was even about white people, you have some work to do. If you don't understand…

It's not always about you.

I am a good white person. ... And do you know what? I don't see a need to apologize for it.

#AllLivesMatter needs to die and go to hell. What a good example of the "good intentions" of white folks completely diminishing the struggles and lived experiences of POC.

This has given me all the feels. I am struggling not to cut all of the white people out of my life (kind of hard, given I'm married to a white man) and many of those people are "good white people." They are shocked at racism and racist behavior— so much so they I get links to racist posts on websites because they…

Didn't someone once say that he who is wisest is him who admits he knows nothing? I've found, equally paradoxically, that, as a white person, I may contribute less to the system of racism the more I recognize just how racist I truly am.

This is absolutely disgusting.

And here I thought Browns fans were from Cleveland...

At least the players can fall back on their UAB degree when they go pro in something other than sports.
