If you’re new to anti-racism, please notice how difficult it is to get people just to say that our lives matter without qualification. Affirm our humanity with equivocation. #BlackLivesMatter
“Matters” is the least you can do and still consider someone a human of equal value. It’s the floor.
And the people who won’t say it aren’t these extremists who exist in the far corners of the internet. They are the people we work with, worship with, so life with and even our own family.
This is why the struggle against systemic racism is exhausting. We’re fighting for basic humanity before we even get to specific policies and solutions.
Dang it. *without equivocation
