While I am happy to see #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism trending, but I would be happier if white people were really against racism. But are we?
After all, we don't seem terribly concerned that Black maternal mortality is multiples of white maternal mortality. We seem perfectly sanguine about incarcerating Black people for lack of bail and a host of "while Black" crimes like vagrancy, trespass, etc.
Our response to the crack epidemic was "lock them up" while our response to the opioid and meth epidemics is more compassionate, seeking to reduce sentences, to favor treatment. This is a better response to addiction, but why did wisdom only come when whites were most affected?
Speaking as a black person, these are the hashtags and protests I'd like to see: #WhitePeopleAgainstWhiteSupremacy #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism
Black folks didn't make this problem, and we can't fix it.

I'd also like to see the damn media interview #WhitePeopleWhoLoatheTrumpsRacism Sick of all the 'economic anxiety' bullshit stories which enables, encourages, and covers up for bigots.
And any white politician who spouts this 'economic anxiety' crap should be shunned by white people who claim to want racism, and supremacy to end.
