Calling Out Racism Is NOT Inflammatory. Period. [View all]

This clip is an example of how to combat the tired old charge, "calling something/someone racist is not helping the situation". How can you combat something if you are too afraid to even name it? In order to educate those whom do not know, there must be well versed folks who are willing to "make it plain" for them. I believe Congressman Jeffries is on to something, here.



“Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.”
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Both quotes are from MLK.
