White supremacy benefits all white people. It is the responsibility of all white people to end it.
.
I benefit from it every day.
I'm committed to ending it.
This means accepting a certain level of discomfort: awkward conversations with other white people, being afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing, listening and accepting criticism, going to protests in big crowds, speaking up when I see or hear bigotry or hate -and this will come to include a lot of other things I haven't encountered yet. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but I have to do something.
Thank you to everyone who's working and leading.
.
Now is the time to step way up.
We can't afford to wait.

You can't call yourself a spiritual person and do nothing, say nothing, and feel nothing about this. White Supremacists in all their incarnations are wrong in every way.
