The Prince George library system in Maryland offered an hour-long seminar today with Dr. Ibram X Kendi, on "How to be an Anti-Racist." At one point over 75 000 people awaited the start of the YouTube video.
I appreciated Dr. Kendi's candor and passion. The interviewer was knowledgeable and the ASL interpreter was so enthusiastic I wished I kept up my sign language.
It's not enough in July 2020 to "not be racist" or say "you don't see color" or say garbage like, "I don't care if you're brown, black or purple."
It's not enough.
Our people are dying in the streets.
Our people are being harmed every day by a system that belittles and begrudges them.
White people, we gotta do better.
Listen, learn, do.
