Hi friend!

Here's something for you to...

1) watch.

How Anti Racism Hurts Black People

John McWhorter is probably the most eloquent speaker and arguer I've ever heard or read.

This is the video that shifted my perception of Black Lives Matter (the movement, not the sentiment).

It pairs perfectly with his Time article discussing the same issues:

"I am neither Republican nor conservative, and am not writing this out of some partisan allegiance to right-wing dismissals of Black Lives Matter. The amount of hate mail I get for supporting protests against the cops about black shooting deaths deep-sixes any notion of me as a reactionary. I seek progress on the main obstacle to getting past race in this country: the tensions between black people and the cops, including so many black people’s sense of the police as a racist occupying army."
