I hurt for the people that are dealing with racism daily. I just don't understand how people can be so utterly cruel.
With the death of George Floyd, numerous people have come forward with their stories or others' stories of hatred, injustice, unbelievable treatment and pure racism.
I feel so naive. I feel like a veil has been shrouding my eyes, ears, and mind for years. Where have I been? What world have I been living in?
I know what you'll likely say, "You live in a world of white privilege." *quietly weeps*
I have been so ignorant, so naive. I would often pride myself on being racially inclusive, culturally aware and world-wise. I guess I was wrong. So wrong.
I don't want this anymore. I want to have open eyes, ears and an engaged mind. I want to be active for my brothers and sisters. I will do what I can to stand up against this.
I was given the article below by a black friend. I read it and I encourage others to do the same if they want to take steps to change.
