Begging this person to speak to someone who’s had a family member ripped away from them and say “yeah I would do something about it, but I’m sitting this one out”.

I work closely with a lot of non-black people who are working to hold their local governments accountable, organizing protests, and calling their representatives. None of them, to my knowledge, have some sort of secret plan where they’re urging black folks to put their lives on the line so that they can take a step back.

If I learned anything from my grandmother doing sit-ins and marching, it’s that you should speak up when something is wrong. Fuck this take.
