We HAVE to TALK about racism and police brutality

[YarnAddict]

7. When you say we need to talk,

do you mean an actual dialogue, or just cataloging all the wrongs white people have committed?

White privilege exists, and only the willfully blind don't acknowledge it. Some white people are more, sometimes much more, privileged than others, but all have an advantage.

But, white people have some valid complaints, too. For instance, when a white or Asian senior citizen is walking down the street minding his own business, and is knocked to the street and possibly killed because someone is playing the knockout game, there is a legitimate racial complaint. Or, the guy in Detroit who was nearly killed and whose life was changed forever also has a valid complaint.

Unless BOTH sides are willing to talk about the clear issues, there will never be any solution to the obvious problems.
