Many white people claim to be our allies, but how many of these “allies” would let their kids attend a majority-minority school? How many of them would allow affordable housing in their cozy communities? How many of them will refuse to let anti-black rhetoric slide when they’re in exclusively white circles? How many of these people would be willing to end a racialized war on drugs that disproportionately effects poor people of color? Or fight a prison industrial complex that feeds on those same poor people of color swept up by the war on drugs? These are a few of the questions that white America must answer.
