As a white person during these times you cannot tell us how we will make change. You aren't getting killed you don't have generations of hate and fear stitched perfectly into your genes. You have never been through what we have. So don't tell us about how you disapprove of the methods being used when you have experienced all of the methods used against us.

When an old song plays and it reminds you of who you used to be. You remember that part of you who has now dissolved into your whole being. But what happens when that part is rotten? Or when it's toxic? Yes it is still part of you. You have grown a bit of immunity to the poison over the years. When you hear the old song the toxicity increases. You feel that bit of venom in your blood. You remember the blood that your old self drew. You remember what you did to yourself while that song played.
