It's not at all that simple.
So I'll ask again.. How do white people make POC's lives better? What is the fix?
Just to start:
1. Better schools that serve black communities
2. More and better training for police
3. Criminal justice reform
4. No more racist presidents.
1. Why do teachers seem to avoid these schools?
2. Adjustments in training, protocol, cameras, etc have and continue to be modified.
3. This needs to be done for many reasons.
4. No more white male Republican presidents. Got it.
1. Intentionally seek relationships with people who come from different cultures and different backgrounds from you.
2. Pay attention to how they evaluate your culture.
3. Try to think about how you might see things differently if you were them.
I have often found that people argue from many of the same core values.
Have you considered those Dogs?
1. Make it worth their while - nicer schools, more support, better resources, after school programming and more community outreach
2. In many areas, but it is not happening everywhere. We can't stop anytime soon and just assume the problem is solved.
3. Ok, and this should include changing laws that are disproportionately applied to POC.
4. White republicans can be ok - but they need to break the mold and alienate the racist faction of the party.
You want brick and mortar with a shine to it, but you don't mention the idiots who are teaching for retirement or those who can't conjugate a verb. Don't get me started on math. These people are protected and you are okay with the system that allows it.
...Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Jones. You were going 100 in a 70, but had I known you were black I would have never pulled you over.
Clever idea using the Kaepernick Jersey as a doormat. The combination they are using is a poor choice as a lot of people will be offended by it.
Fortunately they have explained their intent was not racist so we are all good right guys?
Clever enough to think of using jerseys as a doormat but not clever enough to know what it reads when selected and put in that order?
But that does help illustrate the racial undertones of the opposition to the protest. These are the same folks that heard the racist dog whistle that Trump was sounding.
You must not have read where they clarified their intent. Its right there in the same story and yet you overlook it.
Could it possibly be that even though they say very clearly it's not a racist gesture that it still is?
In the same sense could it be that even though they say it's not disrespectful to America, kneeling for the anthem is in fact disrespectful to America or the military?
That's the language of the bubble my friend. Like the North Koreans, you don't even realize you are inside.
Really disappointed that you think racism can be clever.
The kneeling came about because of the suggestion of Boyer. Are you saying he would suggest something that he thought would be disrespectful? Or that Kap was being disrespectful by modifying his protest form at Boyer's suggestion?
Actually kneeling is submissive -
Always has been - always will be
Whether it's before a monarch, a power figure, an owner or God Almighty...
