27. You're correct.

I also think talk about racism complicates things. Middle class white people don't understand the idea of institutional racism. Because they have never suffered it. They hear the term racism and they think but we've come a long ways since segregation and public signs of "whites only", which we have. But institutions such as law enforcement continue to be racist.

We need to figure out a better way to talk about this. The way we are currently having the conversation is driving people away.

For example, I think we need to talk about police overreach. We need to talk about how they need to be held accountable. When we provide examples of police overreach, we need to include examples where white people are the victims too. There are many.

We are never going to get middle class white people to get vested in an issue unless it helps them too. And I think that is reality.
