Dear #WhitePeople. Can you tell your grandads, uncles, sisters, cousins and friends to stop murdering us? “Us” being anything not white, straight and male. Its just blatant genocide at this point. Thanks. Signed, Humanity.

Addendum: please stop with the mass murders with assault rifles because your dad didn’t get you the Tesla you wanted or someone at school held you accountable for racist behavior. It’s really psychotic at this point.

@ErickaSimone This is why I rarely speak to one whole side of my family, and we usually argue whenever we do speak.

@BarrenPlanet I’m so sorry that it comes down to that with some family members. But I am so grateful for you and you actually standing your ground. It means the world.

@ErickaSimone Most white people just don't get that racism is a systemic and institutional problem, not merely an interpersonal and overt one. I read Living While Black by Guilaine Kinouani and it shook me.I'd attended all the demos and counter-demos, rallies, protests and marches. I thought I'd been a good ally, but I had so much more work to do.As you say, it's about confronting and challenging those closest to you, and having all those painful conversations. That's where the real work is.
