What I’m reading, everyday. Just the beginning of my ongoing education. I encourage all of you, mostly my white friends and followers to proactively educate yourself on what is truly a white problem. YOUR white problem. MY white problem. #whitefragility is a real eye-opener. It unapologetically targets the issue at hand which is our denial and fear of white supremacy. As long as we are afraid of the white supremacy conversation then we will never be truly available to learn, grow and change. Start facing and acknowledging your white advantage and then learn how to dismantle it. #tonimorrison ‘s Beloved is ghostly and delicious. Based in 1870s and dives into the world of slavery. It tears your heart out. Delivers a rich blanket of truth and poetry. Nutritious, psychotic, dreamy, terrifying. Toni is a master. #riptonimorrison. #cornelwestRaceMatters Just starting.... #wp4bl #keepgoing #blacklivesmatter (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjj0wahuSf/?igshid=w0hqwk65cq5l

Black Lives Matter is NOT a hate group /// Show your support by SHOWING UP on Saturday night (10/14 @ 7:30pm) at our big @blmlosangeles fundraiser event. Link to purchase tickets in bio. Comment below with your RSVP. Tell a friend, we need your SUPPORT. /// • "From @splcenter... "The backlash to BLM, in some ways, reflects a broad sense of unease among white people who worry about the cultural changes in the country and feel they are falling behind in a country that is rapidly growing more diverse in a globalizing world. We consistently see this phenomenon in surveys showing that large numbers of white people believe racial discrimination against them is as pervasive, or more so, than it is against African Americans. • "It’s the same dynamic that researchers at Harvard Business School described in a recent study: White people tend to see racism as a zero-sum game, meaning that gains for African Americans come at their expense. Black people see it differently. From their point of view, the rights pie can get bigger for everyone. • "Black Lives Matter is not a hate group. But the perception that it is racist illustrates the problem. Our society as a whole still does not accept that racial injustice remains pervasive. And, unfortunately, the fact that white people tend to see race as a zero-sum game may actually impede progress." #blacklivesmatter #wp4bl #whitepeople4blacklives #showingupforracialjustice

For all of my fellow LA letter writing fans out there, come by the shop today from 11-3 today and write a postcard asking @mayorofla Garcetti to fire LAPD Chief Beck, who has proven that he has no interest in holding his officers accountable. . Also, 50% of sales today will be donated to @blmlosangeles to help in the important organizing and community building that they do every day. . Come out and say hey! Bring the family! #FireBeck #BlackLivesMatter #wp4bl #PoliceReparations (at Life Is Funny Press)

I haven't done a #mcm in a while, but @mattmcgorry has been out here setting such a good example of striving to be a great ally and I really look up to him for that. We can all do better, and if you don't know where to start, ask. I know that's what I'm going to do. https://www.facebook.com/wp4rj/ . . . #wp4bl #mcm #bebetter #domore #learning
