What White People Can Do About the Killing of Black Men in America

[sheshe2]

7. Thank you freshwest.

I also pressed Rev. Lee on what he would like to tell white Americans on how to show solidarity. I was humbled by his response:

We need to lock arms amidst all of this. If the police feel they are above the law with any one group, they will feel they are above the law with others. We need to learn from the civil rights movement. It wasn't just black folks, it was everybody, because it wasn't a black problem it was a moral issue. We are remembering 40 years after the Freedom Summer. That wasn't just black people risking their lives, it was a community that went down to Mississippi because they knew that when any group within the nation is marginalized then we can't be the nation we want to be.

This is not a 'black problem it is an American problem and it will take all of us working together to solve it.

Great OP, it is indeed moral problem and an American problem.
